A two-alarm fi re in Woodhaven
sent one fi refi ghter to the hospital
on Easter Sunday.
Firefighters first got a call about
the blaze inside a three-story home
located at 84-11 86 Road 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.
