said.
New York’s Bravest battled
the flames for nearly
an hour before quenching
the blaze at shortly after 2
pm, according to the spokesman.
Emergency medical personnel
transported four
people — including one man
who sustained life-threatening
injuries — to the burn
unit at Weill Cornell Medical
Center for treatment, according
to authorities.
A preliminary investigation
revealed the cause
of the fire to be “improper
use of gasoline,” said to a
spokesman for the Fire Department.
Construction honchos
with the Department of
Buildings conducted an
emergency inspection of the
home, and issued a “full vacate
order” — preventing
residents from reentering
the home until further notice.
