Five firefighters were injured while battling a blaze in Queens on Sunday.

Flames tore through the top floors of a row of buildings on Sutphin Boulevard near 115th Avenue in Jamaica around 6 a.m.

4-alarm fire damages 3 buildings in Jamaica, Queens

Firefighters worked in heavy gear, attacking the blaze quickly and aggressively to keep it from spreading further. It grew to four alarms and was eventually brought under control just after 8 a.m.

Three connected buildings were damaged. The second-floor windows of the three buildings were boarded up Sunday evening.

The city's Office of Emergency Management and the Red Cross are helping residents who have been displaced, and the Buildings Department is checking the stability of the damaged buildings.

The FDNY says three firefighters suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries and two firefighters suffered minor injuries. All five were taken to a local hospital for treatment.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Restaurant owner determined to recover after fire

One of the damaged buildings is home to Tamarind Island Roti Shop, a Guyanese restaurant that opened two years ago.

"This business right here is like the backbone financially for my family, you know? And I'm just trying to do my best as a good son and a good husband to just take care of the people around me," restaurant owner Krishna Rambharose said.

Loyal customers showed up throughout the day to find the restaurant closed due to heavy water and smoke damage.

"I was just heartbroken, you know, because I also follow, like, the owner and I know that he's very involved in the community. And so you really care for people and, you know, the community," customer Sean Wilson said.

"That's a community member, someone who cares about his community ... and that's somebody I can respect," customer Junior Veerasammy said.

Rambharose is now determined as ever to overcome and be stronger.

"At the end of the day, I know God don't give us no challenges that we can't overcome. So just gotta push, push through now," he said.

Rambharose says the gas in his restaurant was turned off after the fire, and when he can reopen depends on when it's turned back on.
