The blaze struck at 114 East 116th Street at about 2 a.m. on the second floor of a five-story apartment building.
Ten civilians and one other officer suffered minor injuries before the flames were knocked down at about 2:30 a.m.
NYPD officials said the seriously injured officer’s wounds were not life-threatening. They said most of the injuries were smoke inhalation.
It was not clear what started the fire.
Twelve FDNY units and some 60 firefighters responded to the scene.
