    The blaze broke out in the restaurant on Flatbush Avenue near Quentin Road in Marine Park just before 6:30 a.m. and quickly spread to the neighboring medical office.

    The apartment buildings on either side do not yet appear to be affected.

    Firefighters were on the roof of the building trying to get the flames under control.

    One firefighter was treated at the scene for an unknown issue.

    The FDNY asked Con Edison to de-energize the area surrounding the fire. Nearly 400 customers have been without power since 9:23 a.m. It is not yet known when the power will be restored.

    Flatbush Avenue is closed for the firefighting between Quentin Road and Avenue P, while East 45th Street is closed between Flatbush Avenue and Avenue N.
