The New York Daily News reports three firefighters (WNBC-TV reports seven injured) were hurt including one injured when a staircase railing gave way. The paper says none of the injuries was serious but Ryan Lavis, Staten Island Advance says otherwise:
At least one firefighter was sent to the hospital with serious injuries, after 25 units responded to a 2nd alarm fire at 360 Van Duzer St., Stapleton, on Thursday night. The house was vacant at the time of the blaze, authorities said.
An FDNY spokesperson said that one firefighter was transported to Richmond University Medical Center in serious but stable condition. He said several other firefighters also suffered minor injuries.
