From nbcconnecticut.com:
Five firefighters were injured in a fire at a multifamily home in Bridgeport early Friday morning.
One firefighter suffered a shoulder injury when the roof of 143 Coleman St. collapsed. Four other firefighters suffered heat exhaustion.
The fire broke out in the 19th century boarding house at 3:50 a.m. and it was escalated to two alarms.

Firefighters helped the residents who were not able to get out on their own.
“We had people in the windows. We were pulling them out, one after another,” Deputy Chief Bruce Porzett, of the Bridgeport Fire Department, said. “These guys were walking through walls of fire. They did a great job. Nobody died, which I'm really surprised (about).”
Fire officials said the building had half a dozen roofs on the building, but should not have had more than three.
