Police are hunting for a person of interest who may have ignited the massive fire that raged through a Brooklyn parking garage, injuring at least 21 firefighters and civilians.
A surveillance footage shot released by police depicts an unidentified African American male shirtless with a white shirt on hung over his shoulder, wearing dark pants and dark colored footwear.
He was spotted leaving the Kings Plaza Shopping Center in Brooklyn shortly before the fire broke out.
The blaze ignited shortly before 9am in the parking garage, calling for more than 200 firefights to tackle the seven-alarm fire that quickly spread.

A large blaze began Monday morning at a parking garage of the Kings Plaza Shopping Center in Brooklyn

Multiple cars caught fire around 9am and the blaze quickly spread to another level
Officials say vehicles initially caught fire on the second floor of the parking garage in Marine Park, Brooklyn.
The flames then spread to an additional floor setting more cars on fire but did not reach any stores in the mall.
FDNY Commissioner Daniel Nigro said by 11am most of the fire was 'virtually extinguished' and the crew are now checking for structural damage.
Nigro said: 'Units responded and found there to be multiple cars being stored here by a local car dealer, perhaps as many as 120. We're not sure yet how many of them burned, but many of these cars were involved in this fire.'
Witnesses reported hearing loud popping sounds, which Nigro said were tires exploding.

'Any time you have a car fire, you're likely to have certainly tires explode,' Nigro said.' 'And much of what they heard were tires on these multiple vehicles exploding many times. Very dangerous for our members, and for anybody nearby,' he added.
The mall opens at 10am and was closed to the public when the fire began.
A shopping center spokeswoman warned the public to 'avoid the area' while the FDNY respond to the fire.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, Nigro said, adding that the heat, confined space and toxic smoke make this an especially challenging fire to fight.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
