Tragedy struck a Queens family
early Wednesday morning,
Sept. 1, when a 9-year-old
boy died as a fire engulfed their
home, police said. Ten other residents
suffered injuries.
Firefighters found Remi Miguel
Gomez Hernandez while battling
a blaze that broke out at about 2
a.m. on Sept. 1 inside a three-story
home on 102nd Road off Liberty
Avenue in Ozone Park.
According to the Fire Department,
the all-hands fire broke out
in the basement of the residence. It
prompted a response from 60 firefighters
from 12 FDNY units, along
with EMS and the 102nd Precinct.
Firefighters needed just 34
minutes to bring the blaze under
control, but the injury count
proved high. Ten residents and a
firefighter wound up being rushed
to Jamaica Hospital for treatment
of minor injuries.
But in searching the residence
for survivors, firefighters came
across the unconscious and
unresponsive Hernandez. They
pulled him from the residents and
brought him to EMS units, who
subsequently pronounced him
dead at the scene.
