Summary
- A massive blaze tore through two buildings overnight on Saturday, burning for hours into the early morning and injuring 12 firefighters, according to fire officials.
- FDNY personnel responded to 1330 74th Street just before midnight for a report of a fire in a private residence. Upon arrival, units discovered heavy flames on three floors of the home.
- The fire also spread to an adjacent structure at 1324 74th Street. User footage from the scene showed massive flames and smoke erupting from the blaze, along with firefighters battling from their ladders and engines.
- FDNY officials said that units eventually had to back out of the premises and utilize an exterior attack due to “many voids” and concerns with the structural stability of the building. They also noted that the age of the structure helped the fire spread quickly.
- All 12 people from the affected residences were accounted for, with no injuries or illness. However, six firefighters were reported to have suffered minor injuries during the battle, and FDNY officials later updated that count to 12.
- The fire was placed under control at 3:46 a.m. The cause of the blaze remains under investigation.
