CNN previously reported that at least 54 people were injured in the Bronx fire in New York City, according to the New York City Fire Department.

About 200 members of the fire department were at the scene of the fire, which took place on the third floor of a 19-story residential apartment building.

The fire has been "put out," the FDNY said.

The department began receiving calls about this emergency, including a number of residents on the upper floors, shortly before 11 a.m. (local time).

The department released multiple images from the scene at 333 East 181st Street that showed stairs extending up to the apartment windows, as well as several broken windows.
