MANHATTAN — A four-alarm pre-dawn fire ravaged a SoHo loft apartment building Friday morning.

The blaze at 82 Greene St., which started at about 3:45 a.m., sent residents fleeing into the street, fire officials said.

The second floor of the seven-story building collapsed in the fire, according to the FDNY.

More than 200 firefighters responded to the fire that left three families homeless according to WABC-TV.

No residents were hurt but 11 firefighters sustained minor injuries in the blaze, which took nearly three hours to get under control, according to the FDNY.

The cause of the fire is under investigation but is not considered suspicious, officials said.

Hästens, a Swedish high-end bedding company, has a store in the building.
