Five firefighters, one EMS member and one civilian were injured but everyone is stable, said Laura Kavanagh, fire commissioner with the New York City Fire Department, in a Facebook post.

In a video filmed inside the supermarket, a fire breaks out and an individual tries to move items out of the way. The flames get bigger and the person runs out of the camera's view. Eventually, the flames engulf the room before the video cuts.
