The blaze erupted on the fifth floor of the Union Street property between Portal Street and Ralph Avenue shortly before 11 a.m., according to a Fire Department spokesman.
Emergency medical personnel rushed two children — who were spotted grinning as paramedics wheeled them out on a stretcher — to nearby Woodhull Hospital in stable condition, authorities said.
