The fire occurred at 1791 Bruckner Blvd. just after 1 p.m. on Thursday.
Fire officials say the fire started in the second-floor apartment and progressed to two alarms. Two people suffered minor injuries from the fire.

“The fire started underneath the apartment where I live and basically, I just smelt the smoke and then just started to leave,” said resident Katherine Burgos, who lives one floor above where the fire broke out. “We just grabbed all our stuff and ran out and started knocking on our neighbors' doors to get everybody out from my floor and just came outside."
