Firefi ghters managed to put out a
large fi re Friday morning, June 4,
at a two-story home in Richmond
Hill.
A fire broke out at 87-34 Van Wyck
Expressway at about 5:30 a.m. on
Friday, according to the FDNY.
Arriving units encountered a
heavy fire and smoke coming from
the basement of the two-story, wooden
framed private home, according
to the FDNY. The fire extended to
the first floor just before 5:30 a.m.,
causing it to upgrade to a two-alarm
fire.
Once the second alarm fire was
called, about 100 firefighters used
three hose lines to put out the
flames while searching throughout
the burning dwelling, according to
authorities.
The fire reportedly first broke out
in the cellar and was brought under
control by 6:45 a.m., according to
authorities.
No injuries were reported as a
result of the fire.
