Five people were injured and an Elmhurst<\/a> family was displaced when a fast-moving fire tore through their home on Tuesday afternoon. <\/p>\n

The FDNY<\/a> received a 911 call reporting a fire in the rear of the house at 40-34 78th Street at 3:45 p.m. on June 2. Twenty-one units were dispatched to the scene on the block between Roosevelt Avenue and Elmhurst Hospital on 41st Avenue with 79 firefighters and EMS personnel.<\/p>\n

EMS transported four civilians to Elmhurst Hospital, where they were listed in stable condition. A fifth civilian received medical attention at the scene. The fire was brought under control at 4:43 p.m. FDNY fire marshals will determine the cause.<\/p>\n

An MTA spokesman said the fire did not impact 7 train service.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The American Red Cross registered five adults and three children for emergency assistance, such as financial aid and a safe place to stay while they begin to recover. <\/p>\n

A Red Cross casework team will meet with the family to discuss recovery roadblocks and connect them with government and community partners to help with longer-term recovery needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The FDNY battled a house fire in Elmhurst that injured five people and displaced a family.
