A fire broke out on a Tuesday morning in Gowanus, Brooklyn, injuring 12 people. According to the New York City Fire Department (FDNY), the fire started shortly after 7 a.m. on 15th Street between Third and Fourth Avenues and was under control by 7:58 a.m.

Three individuals were hospitalized with injuries, though specific details about their conditions were not disclosed. A lithium-ion battery was found near the fire site, and preliminary investigations suggest that the battery may have been the cause of the blaze, though the exact cause is still under further investigation.
