A rapidly spreading fire tore through a half-dozen wooden rowhouses in Bushwick, Brooklyn, on Tuesday night, devastating a block in the rapidly gentrifying neighborhood and leaving dozens of people without a home.

While no one was critically injured, fire officials said, the blaze destroyed three of the rowhouses, leaving only smoldering shells, and caused serious damage to three others.

Eleven people suffered mostly minor injuries, officials said. While most of the residents were unscathed, hundreds of pigeons that were housed in coops on the roof of 1427 DeKalb Avenue were killed, according to Gil Arecilares, who said he owned two coops.

“It broke my heart,” he said.

Luke Moffitt, 32, who lives on the street, said he watched the coops burn.
