Fire rages at Upper West Side building, raining debris onto sidewalk

Raging flames leaped from an apartment building on Manhattan’s Upper West Side Tuesday, raining debris onto the sidewalk and spewing smoke across the skyscape.

The fire broke out at the building on 107th Street and Amsterdam around 8 a.m.

Chopper 4 showed the entire top floor consumed by flames, with black smoke billowing from under the rooftop. Fire appeared to be chewing through the roof as well, nearing firefighters as they tried to attack it from the side.

There was no immediate word on injuries, nor a possible cause.
