A massive five-alarm blaze ripped through a commercial area of the Bronx early this monring, gutting 14 stores including a business that was about to reopen after burning in a previous fire.

Amazingly, no civilians were injured during the Bainbridge Avenue inferno, which took 200 firefighters to bring under control around 8:30 a.m. after a four hour battle. Four firefighters suffered minor injuries.

Among the destroyed businesses was The Bainbridge Bakery, which was set to reopen after it was rebuilt from a previous store fire in April.

“They were set to reopen on Monday,” says Carlo Mirando, 40, a Bronx resident. “But they couldn’t get insurance until it opened.”

Now they won’t get that chance.

The origin of the fire is still under investigation.
