By 1 p.m., firefighters identified the blaze as a three-alarm fire.
One firefighter suffered smoke inhalation because his mask became dislodged, said Assistant Fire Chief Michael Myers.
At first, three e-bikes or mopeds were on fire, Myers said. They later found 300 e-bikes and scooters inside.
The sprinkler system was not strong enough to douse the flames, so the firefighters worked frantically to keep the fire from spreading to more e-bikes.
In total, 33 units and at least 135 EMS and FDNY personnel responded to the scene.
At this time, first responders are still working to put out the flames.
