Summary

At least two bodies were pulled from the wreckage of Monday's massive fire at a construction site in Bedford-Stuyvesant Tuesday, FDNY officials said.

Crews remained at the scene to remove debris from the wreckage when they discovered the two bodies Tuesday afternoon.

The city’s medical examiner will determine the unidentified victims' causes of death, according to [PIX 11](https://pix11.com/news/local-news/brooklyn/body-pulled-from-wreckage-of-3-alarm-brooklyn-fire-fdny/).

At 5:47 a.m. on Monday, firefighters responded to a report of a fire at 394 Gates Avenue.

Upon arrival, crews located the blaze in a vacant building that was under construction and originally reported as unoccupied.

The fire was raised to a third alarm, bringing a total of 138 firefighters to the scene, according to FDNY officials.

Citizen user videos captured the massive FDNY presence as heavy smoke filled the area.

There was a collapse during the fire, but it's unclear how much of the structure was involved.

One firefighter was transported to an area hospital to be treated for minor injuries.
