Fire in Manhattan high-rise trapped residents, 7 injured

Newsman: A fire in a Midtown Manhattan high-rise trapped residents Saturday morning, leaving at least seven people injured, two with life-threatening injuries, the FDNY said.

Officials say two victims sustained life-threatening injuries, two sustained serious injuries, and three had minor injuries. Some residents were reportedly trapped inside the building when the fire broke out. At least two dozen went up to the roof to seek safety away from the flames.

Around 10:30 a.m., fire officials received multiple calls about flames on the 20th floor of a high-rise.

Residents who were not in the building were told to shelter in place until officials check their units.
