A massive fire broke out at a Brooklyn, New York lumber facility on Tuesday.
“FDNY members are currently operating at a 4-alarm fire at 310 Hewes Street in Brooklyn. Operations are ongoing,” the New York Fire Department said on social media just after 12pm.

The fire was originally a two alarm fire however it was upgraded to a four alarm fire.
As noted by bridgecable.com, a four alarm fire is “serious to the point that it can be catastrophic if not handled correctly. The biggest difference between a 4 alarm fire and the other three lower alarm fires is that since the seriousness of these fires is far increased they are rarer. Firefighters typically only face 4 alarm fires a few times each year.”
