One firefighter and four civilians sustained non-life-threatening injuries, while two firefighters and six civilians were treated for minor injuries, officials said. The first responder struck by the truck was among those treated for minor injuries.
More than 100 firefighters used three hose lines to bring the fire under control at 11:40 a.m. Searches of the building found no additional victims.
The FDNY Fire Marshals Office is investigating the cause of the fire.
