Lots of activity on Twitter and blogs tonight about a huge fire at 285 Grand Street in Chinatown. According to the Times at least ten people were injured in the fire, which spread to three buildings. Video and photos inside.

The above video was taken at around 12:10 am. The Times reports that 250 firefighters responded to the fire, which has yet to be brought under control, though it is apparently smaller than in the video. According to the Times, "Three civilians, six firefighters and one medical worker suffered injuries, though none appeared to be life-threatening."

Here's video from a few blocks away:
