FDNY Chief of Department James Leonard says the large volume of water and the efforts of 275 firefighters failed to save the building Saturday. He says one person was treated at the scene in the Williamsburg neighborhood for smoke inhalation. The fire was reported at about 6:30 a.m., two hours after firefighters were summoned to the building to put out a small fire.
