A MASSIVE fire that set off five alarms has been reported at a building in the Bronx.

The city-block-wide flames have seemingly engulfed a large portion of the structures near 2096 Grand Concourse in New York City.

The FDNY is already at the scene, according to a recent post on Twitter.

"FDNY members are currently operating at a 3-alarm fire at 2096 Grand Concourse in the Bronx," they wrote.

"Operations are ongoing."

2096 Grand Concourse is home to the Concourse Food Plaza, a local supermarket.

Fire trucks can be seen hosing down the blaze as clouds of smoke fill the air nearby in a video embedded in the post.

According to comments from viewers, the clouds from the fire can be seen miles away.

What caused the fire is unclear at this time.

Later reports indicated that two additional alarms were set off at the scene, per ABC 7.

Additionally, authorities said the flames began on Grand Concourse and 181st Street just before 12.00pm.

A man told News 12 that he lives behind the building and was awoken by smelling the nearby smoke.

"I left and when I came outside, my whole block had smoke. I see smoke everywhere," he told the outlet.

"It's messed up over here."

Officials told the news outlet that the fire might have been caused by an "e-bike," although nothing has been confirmed.

No injuries or deaths have been reported at the time of writing.

The NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene advised residents to avoid the area for their health and to prevent traffic issues.

The U.S. Sun continues to monitor the developing situation.

Several fires in the Bronx

This fire comes after two others in the Bronx this week.

Five were injured, including two firefighters, in an apartment fire in the Bronx on Wednesday, per CBS News.

The blaze occurred at around 8.30am, and after an investigation, fire marshals concluded that it was set intentionally.

Authorities then arrested a man, 27, who has charges pending for the alleged arson.

Additionally, on Saturday morning, five people were reportedly killed in a house fire in Spring Valley, per News 12.

Two of those who died were under the age of 18, according to local police, and five others were injured.

The fire took place at 118 Lake St. at 4:03 a.m.

Names of the victims have yet to be released, and sources told the news station that there had been complaints about electrical issues to the landlord of the apartment complex.
