Two firefighters were injured in a fire at a home at 4234 Carpenter Ave. on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
FDNY responded to the fire at 12:13pm, and it took two hours before the fire was placed under control. <\/p>\n
“We had fire on the basement and the first floor, which quickly extended to the second floor and caused the collapse of the second floor,” said Deputy Chief Chris Reginella.<\/p>\n
The Department of Buildings confirmed that the second floor of the Wakefield home collapsed. <\/p>\n
Two firefighters and two neighbors suffered minor injuries. <\/p>\n
Two nearby homes, 4232 and 4236 Carpenter Ave. have minor fire damage, but the DOB said there are no concerns to the homes structure. <\/p>\n
“When I stuck my head out on the terrace, I was met with fire and smoke. So it was very scary,” said a neighbor at 4236 Carpenter Ave.<\/p>\n
Officials say 106 fire and EMS personal responded to the two-alarm fire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two firefighters were injured in a fire at a home at 4234 Carpenter Ave. on Tuesday.
