Multiple firefighters from Paterson and surrounding towns are working to bring a large residential fire under control in the city. The fire broke out at about 10:30 a.m. on Madison Avenue and quickly spread through two structures, engulfing multiple floors. Paterson Mayor Andre Sayegh told News 12 that a fire captain was injured, but he couldn't elaborate on the nature of the injuries. Sayegh says one person who lived in the building is unaccounted for but the rest of the residents were evacuated from the structure.

Multiple streets in the area are blocked off as mutual aid crews respond. This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
