One person died and three firefighters were injured in a building fire Saturday evening on Roosevelt Island<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Firefighters rushed to the scene of the blaze at a residential apartment building around 6:04 p.m. near Main St. and River Rd<\/a>. where one person was pronounced dead, the FDNY said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur district is again mourning the loss of one of our neighbors from a fire, this time at 560 Main Street on Roosevelt Island. Their family is in my thoughts tonight, as are those who were hospitalized,\u201d Council member Julie Menin said on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

EMS transported the three smoke eaters to local hospitals where they were treated for moderate injuries.<\/p>\n

The fire was brought under control around 7:39 p.m. The cause of the flames was still under investigation by fire marshals.<\/p>\n

The fatal fire comes after an 86-year-old woman died in a fire in her Queens sixth-floor apartment<\/a> Saturday morning just after 2:15 a.m. on 12th St. near 41st Ave. at NYCHA\u2019s Queensbridge South Houses.<\/p>\n

EMS rushed the woman to Mount Sinai Queens hospital, where she died a short time later. Her name was not immediately disclosed.<\/p>\n
