The FDNY battled a three-alarm
blaze in a Maspeth warehouse
late at night on Tuesday, June
29, that left nine firefighters with
minor injuries.
Nearly 140 firefighters dealt with
extreme temperatures and heavy
smoke conditions at the two-story
commercial building at 55-30 58th
St. just after 10:30 p.m.
The building, operated by Huang
Jia Inc., housed paper and cardboard
supplies. It had been shut down
since New Year’s Day for violating
COVID-19 protocols, after law enforcement
discovered more than 10
people in the establishment during
a party.
Firefighters were forced to use
ladders and power saws to cut
through metal security gates and
plywood and to break glass just to
gain access to the fire.
Thirty-three units and 138 members
of the FDNY operated five hose
lines to knock down the blaze. The
fire was placed under control just
before 3 a.m. on the morning of
Wednesday, June 30.
A total of nine firefighters were
treated for injuries they suffered
while battling the blaze, but they
were relatively minor in nature, according
to FDNY officials.
