The four-alarm fire took several hours to extinguish.
Officials say 14 firefighters and one civilian suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
"The injuries were due to fallen debris and heat exhaustion, on a day like today these conditions are very difficult for the firefighters," FDNY Chief James Booth said. "Everyone who is injured is stable at this time."
