BEDFORD-STUYVESANT — Ten people including four firefighters were hurt when a blaze tore through a Hancock Street brownstone Tuesday night, the FDNY said.

The fire broke out at 257 Hancock St., near Marcy Avenue, just before 10 p.m. and wasn't brought under control until two hours later, fire officials said.

The victims were taken to area hospitals with minor injuries.

The cause of the blaze is under investigation but it is not believed to be suspicious, the FDNY said.
