The fire broke out around 4 a.m. and quickly intensified, reaching six alarms as firefighters continued to work more than four hours later. The FDNY released drone footage that showed more than a dozen firefighters on the roof of the towering complex, white smoke drifting all around them. 

Earlier, drone footage showed firefighters' flashlights illuminating the pre-dawn sky from the top of the building, beams of blue streaking across the rooftop as sirens wailed on the ground.
