BROOKLYN — More than 100 firefighters battled a blaze that tore through a Greenwood Heights business Wednesday night, an FDNY spokesman said.

The fire broke out in the one-story commercial building at 625 39th St., near Sixth Avenue, about 8:26 p.m., the spokesman said.

About 106 firefighters helped bring the fire under control by 9:40 p.m., officials said.

There were no reported injuries, they added.

It's not immediately clear what business occupies the building.

Fire marshals will determine what sparked the fire, officials said.
