BuffNetwork.com alerted us to this video from a four-alarm fire that damaged multiple homes on Thursday at 107-47 112th Street in Queens in the middle of last week’s heat wave.
More than a dozen firefighters sustained minor injuries battling a four-alarm fire in South Richmond Hill, Queens on Thursday.
FDNY Deputy Fire Chief John Esposito said the blaze was a three-alarm fire, but the fourth alarm was triggered for relief purposes.
“It being very hot today, the hot weather is very taxing on the firefighters later in the afternoon, the hotter part of the day. So we had a high turnover of firefighters at the fire,” he said.
The four-alarm fire began at about 5:20 p.m. and was knocked out at about 6 p.m. It tore through a single family home and two multi-family homes on 112th Street, destroying two of the homes and damaging one.
