Some West Farms families been displaced following a Monday morning apartment building fire, the FDNY says.

Firefighters say they responded to Marmion Avenue after receiving a call. Neighbors told News 12 that the fire started on the fifth floor of the building at around 6 a.m.

Firefighters were able to get the fire under control. The cause was not immediately clear.

A family who lived on the third floor says their home had been damaged by water and had to leave the apartment because of the severe leaking.

The Red Cross is assisting families who have been displaced.
