STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. \u2014 Two firefighters and one civilian suffered minor injuries as a fire broke out at a two-story home in Bay Terrace Thursday afternoon. <\/p>\n

The call was received just before 3 p.m. at 219 Evergreen St. near Redwood Avenue, according to an FDNY spokesperson. <\/p>\n

The large \u201call hands\u201d response drew 12 units containing 60 firefighters and EMS personnel, the spokesperson said. <\/p>\n

Halloween decorations stared out from the windows and stood silent on the lawn of the semi-attached house as neighbors gathered to take in the scene of firefighters extending two tower ladders up toward the second floor of the residence. <\/p>\n
