2 injured, 1 critically, in Queens apartment building fire
NEW YORK -- Two people were rushed to the hospital, one in critical condition, after a fire broke out inside an apartment in Queens on Sunday.
It happened just after 4:30 a.m. at a building near 110th Street and 71st Avenue in Forest Hills. Dozens of firefighters and EMS first responders were called to the scene.
"I was surprised. I saw all the glass on the floor. I saw the burned building. I saw the police and the fire department. It usually is a very safe, safe building," one witness said.
The victims were taken to Jamaica Hospital. Their names have not been released.
Investigators are looking into the cause of the fire.
