Summary

  • Six adults were killed and several others were hurt after a three-alarm fire tore through a two-story row house in Brooklyn's Sunset Park neighborhood early Thursday, officials said. Four residents, three firefighters, and two police officers were among the injured.
  • The fire was reported at 1:39 AM and spread to the exterior of the building next door. The FDNY added a second alarm at 1:46 AM and a third at 2:10 AM, sending 74 units and 231 fire and EMS personnel. The main body of the fire was put out at 2:38 AM.
  • Firefighters pulled four trapped people from the burning home; two survived. The wood-frame stairs partially collapsed during the fire, FDNY said.
  • User video showed flames consuming the structure and a massive FDNY response. The home was heavily damaged, with destruction to the exterior.
  • Four people were pronounced dead at the scene, while two more died after being rushed to the hospital.
  • A HazMat team was called because a lithium-ion battery was at the scene. FDNY says it's not known yet whether the battery played a role. Fire marshals are investigating the cause.
  • The Red Cross is helping eight people forced from their homes; they are being housed at a nearby hotel.
  • Affected residents can call Red Cross at 877-733-2767. Go here to donate and support general home fire relief in NYC.

Timeline

The fire only spread to one other home's exterior, the FDNY said.

The blaze was exacerbated by the row houses being made of wood, and the stairs partially collapsed during operations, FDNY officials said.

Fire was blowing out every window when crews were operating, the FDNY said.

Four trapped people were pulled from the building by FDNY personnel, two of whom survived.

Eight New Yorkers were displaced as a result of the fire; they are being housed in a nearby hotel.

The cause has not yet been determined.

Four civilians were also injured, in addition to three firefighters and two police officers who suffered minor injuries.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani confirmed that all six people who died were adults.

The Red Cross is helping residents who lost their homes. The Department of Buildings has been notified. FDNY says operations are still going on and a press conference hasn't been scheduled yet.

A HazMat team was called to the scene for a lithium-ion battery. FDNY says it isn't known yet whether it's connected to the fire. Fire marshals are investigating.
