in Woodhaven
BY JACOB KAYE
A two-alarm fire in Woodhaven sent one firefighter to the
hospital on Sunday.
Firefighters first got a call about the blaze inside a threestory
home located at 84-11 86 Rd. around 7 p.m. on Sunday,
April 4, according to the authorities.
Around 100 FDNY members arrived to the scene to battle
the fire, and got the flames under control less than an hour
later, around 7:50 p.m., according to the FDNY.
“Smoke was pouring out of the building,” said a witness
who declined to give their name. “The fire department worked
to put this fire out really quickly. It looked really bad for a
while.”
One firefighter was taken to a nearby hospital with a minor
injury.
The fire marshal will determine the cause of the fire.
