Seven people were injured in a hi-rise fire in Manhattan on Wednesday morning.

The fire on the 9th floor at the Rupert Towers at 1751 Second Avenue broke out just after 6 a.m.

Two of the victims suffered serious injuries. Everyone is expected to recover.

The FDNY deployed a mobile medical unit to treat residents with smoke inhalation.

Several streets were closed as firefighters put out the flames. 

It's not clear what sparked the fire.  Firefighters used a large blanket to cover the window in an effort to cut off oxygen to the fire.
