Queens House Fire Leaves Firefighter Injured
I still remember reading about that tense Monday night in Woodside, Queens, and I can’t help but think how close things came to turning tragic. Just before 11 p.m., a second-alarm fire erupted in a home on 64th Street, and it didn’t take long for the local firefighters to rush in.
One of them was hurt while battling the flames. Luckily, the injury was minor, and the firefighter received treatment promptly. But for a moment, the community held its breath, knowing how dangerous these situations can get.
You might be wondering what started the fire. At this point, officials are still investigating, and the cause remains unknown. What’s clear, though, is how quickly things escalated and how critical every second is when a fire breaks out in a neighborhood like Woodside…
