A
fire broke out this morning at 80 Devoe Street between Leonard and
Lorimer streets in Williamsburg, according to a staffer from The Real Deal
who was on the scene and first noticed black smoke and heard people
screaming as they exited the building down the fire escape at around
8:30 am, when firefighters first arrived on the scene.

Around 100 firefighters arrived at the four-story, four-unit
building and had the two-alarm fire under control by 9:01 am, according
to a spokesperson from the Fire Department of New York. It is not yet
clear what caused the fire. There was one minor injury, the
spokesperson said.
