A raging inferno gutted the top
f loors of a Crown Heights apartment
building on June 6, injuring
two children, authorities said.
The blaze erupted on the fifth
f loor of the Union Street property
between Portal Street and Ralph
Avenue shortly before 11 a.m., according
to a spokesman from the
Fire Department.
Emergency medical personnel
rushed two children — who were
spotted grinning as paramedics
wheeled them out on a stretcher —
to nearby Woodhull Hospital in stable
condition, authorities said.
The smoke eaters managed to
smother the blaze by 11:30 a.m., according
to the department.
