The FDNY confirmed Thursday morning that a fifth person died in the Flatbush building collapse that left more than a dozen people injured.

Officials say 250 fire and EMS personnel responded to the collapse of a three-story building at 1321 Bedford Ave. just after 4 p.m. Wednesday.

The structure crumbled into an adjacent construction and excavation site at 2625 Bedford Ave. Fire officials say a major technical rescue response followed.

A total of 23 patients were hospitalized, according to the FDNY. Four were dead upon arrival.

Four were listed in critical condition, while five others sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Ten people with minor injuries were also taken to local hospitals.

Multiple New York City officials and agencies have been posting social media updates following the collapse.
