Fourteen people, including a dozen firefighters, were injured when a massive inferno fueled by high winds tore through multiple Queens homes on Sunday afternoon.
Emergency responders rushed to a fire that had spread to two private homes on 93rd Street between Astoria Boulevard and 30th Avenue in East Elmhurst just before 3 p.m., FDNY Commissioner Lillian Bonsignore said at a press conference.
The flames spread “so quickly” that the blaze soon escalated to a four-alarm fire, bringing roughly 230 firefighters and EMS workers to the scene, Bonsignore said.
