Dryer Fire!

A fire broke out just before 11 a.m. in an apartment on Columbia Street Friday morning, the Fire Department said.

Residents of the third floor apartment at 151 Columbia Street said it was a dryer that was on fire.

"I saw the flames inside the dryer, spinning around, and I screamed," said Julie Pecoraro, whose sister lives in the apartment. "It smelled like burning."

60 firefighters and 12 units responded, and the fire was under control by 11:14, a fire department spokesman said. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

The building is owned by the Fifth Avenue Committee, which maintains affordable housing units in Brooklyn and provides social services to residents.

No injuries were reported.
