Man critically injured in fire
Cause of blaze over candy shop in B’klyn being probed

Damage from fire in Bay Ridge can be seen inside and outside the building.
A fire tore through a Brooklyn home early Thursday, sending one man to the hospital with critical injuries, officials said.
The blaze erupted in the second-floor apartment above a candy store on Fourth Ave. near 92nd St. in Bay Ridge just after 7 a.m., the FDNY said.
It took more than 60 firefighters about 45 minutes to put out the raging blaze, which destroyed the second-floor apartment.
One building resident, who was identified as a man, was rushed to Staten Island University Hospital with critical injuries. A firefighter also suffered minor injuries.
FDNY fire marshals were trying Thursday to determine what sparked the fire.
