At least 23 people were injured Saturday as a five-alarm fire burned through a home and spread to other buildings in Flushing, Queens.<\/p>\n

“It’s horrible. It’s sad,” said witness Yezen Al-Swaiti. “I can’t describe it.”<\/p>\n

The FDNY says it was alerted to the fire on 41st Rd. between College Point Rd. and Frame Pl. shortly before 10:00 AM. By noon, the flames had jumped to two other buildings, leading to fire becoming a five-alarm assignment, with 270 FDNY and EMS personnel responding.<\/p>\n

Of the 23 injured, two civilians were critically hurt. A third person had minor injuries. The rest are FDNY and EMS personnel taken to hospitals, but their conditions were not immediately available, though none of their injuries are considered life-threatening.<\/p>\n

“One firefighter fell off the window, but he held to the rope,” said al-Swaiti. “I’ve seen only one lady, (an) old lady, on the ambulance. She survived, thank God.”<\/p>\n

Firefighters got control of the fire shortly after 1:00 PM. The cause is under investigation with fire marshals at the scene.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"At least 23 people were injured Saturday as a five-alarm fire burned through a home and spread to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":305664,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[9,11,10,122],"class_list":["post-305663","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-queens"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305663","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=305663"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305663\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/305664"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=305663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=305663"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=305663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
