Two people were injured in a Yonkers building fire Thursday evening.
It took firefighters two hours to get the blaze under control, CBS reported.
A 68-year-old man was listed as grave while a woman, 86 was in stable condition.
"We were pouring heavy, massive streams on it for an hour," Deputy Chief John Folkerts said.
Officials say the fire started in a bedroom on the fourth floor.
"I guess during the fire a staircase collapsed. My understanding is that there were two people trapped," said Michael Sabatino, Yonkers director of community and government affairs.
