‘Fire in the building across the street. FDNY on site quickly, with massive response. Couple of people have been carried out on stretchers,’ the user tweeted. 

The video shows thick smoke coming from one of the building’s windows as firefighters sprayed water on the blaze from inside the complex.  

The fire in Harlem comes just hours after three people were killed and eight others injured in a house fire in Queens.

Authorities said the blaze broke out late Saturday night at a two-story home.
