A 37-year-old man was killed and a woman and toddler critically hurt when a fire ripped through their Brooklyn apartment building early Sunday, FDNY officials said.
Firefighters arrived at the four-story brick building on 80th St. near Sixth Ave. in Bay Ridge about 3:35 a.m. to find flames bursting out of third-floor windows, an FDNY spokesman said.
Firefighters brought the blaze under control an hour later. Restaurant Mussels & More is located on the ground floor.
Medics rushed the man, a 34-year-old woman and a 2-year-old boy to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn, police said.
The man could not be saved. His name was not immediately released
The woman and boy were initially in critical condition but had stabilized by Sunday morning, according to Councilman Justin Brannan.
The cause of the blaze remains under investigation.
