**UPDATE (10:17 a.m.):** The fire has been deemed “suspicious” by the fire department. NY1 reports:

> At one point, firefighters were ordered out of the building as flames filled the entire structure, causing the roof to collapse.

> Fire officials say due to the intensity of the fire and time it took to put out the flames they are deeming the fire suspicious.

> “Heavy on arrival building was all locked up in the early morning hours. So these are all indicators of a possible incendiary fire. Fire marshals are here and will do their investigation and talk to the owner,” said FDNY Assistant Chief Ronald Spadafora.

*Original story:*

A fire swept through a one-story commercial building in Gravesend early this morning, leaving at least one hospitalized.

Firefighters responded to a call to 1716 West 6th Street, just off Kings Highway, at around 4:30 a.m. At first just a two-alarm fire, approximately 150 FDNY responders battled the blaze for more than an hour as it spread to four alarms.

The cause of the fire remains unknown.

[MyFoxNY](http://www.myfoxny.com/dpp/news/fire-in-commercial-building-in-brooklyn-20120307-KC?ref=bklyner.com) is reporting that one person has been hospitalized in serious condition.
