NEW YORK — A raging fire gutted an unoccupied residential building in Harlem being used as a film set and left a New York City firefighter dead. The blaze broke out on the set of “Motherless Brooklyn,” directed by Edward Norton, at about 11 p.m. Thursday. Flames poured out the windows as firefighters swarmed the scene, dumping water on the blaze to get it under control. Neighbourhood resident Daquan Evans, 28, told the New York Post he saw Norton at the scene, and he looked visibly shaken. Neighbours said the movie crew had set up a sign that read “King Rooster Jazz Club” about two weeks ago.
