A large fire tore through a yard outside of a building Tuesday night in Morris Heights.

Crews entered one of the apartments on the second floor and began fighting the flames.

Firefighters were seen on the roof spraying water from a distance, while others on the ground searched for more pockets of fire.

Video of the scene shows the blaze growing in front of a fire escape stairway.

News 12 is waiting to hear back from the FDNY for more information.
