NEW YORK (AP/ 1010 WINS) -- Officials say four firefighters sustained minor injuries and another person has been hospitalized for smoke inhalation at the site of a four-alarm fire in the Bronx that engulfed at least four houses.
At least 45 people have been left homeless as the holidays approach.

A fire official said early Monday the blaze on Findlay Avenue was declared under control shortly after midnight, three hours after the first call.
More than 200 firefighters responded to the fire. Fire marshals will investigate the cause of the blaze.
The officials says the fire started in one house and spread to adjacent buildings.
Officials say Dean Meminger, the 61-year-old former Knicks' star guard known as "Dean the Dream," was taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation. Meminger was a member of the 1973 Championship Club.
