One person was seriously injured as a fire tore through two homes in the Kensington section of Brooklyn on Friday.
NEW YORK - One person was seriously injured as a fire tore through two homes in Brooklyn on Friday.The fire broke out in the rear of a three-story home on East Third Street between Avenue C and Beverly Road in the Kensington neighborhood just before 5:45 p.m.FDNY officials say high winds and the building's wood frame contributed to the fast spread of the fire. Flames climbed into the second floor and attic, then extended into a neighboring wood-frame home.
If you can imagine how difficult it is already when you're operating on a roof and you're trying to get to fire that, in this case, was in the attic ... the solar panel complicates that. In this case, it also collapsed,' FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh said. 'It's quite difficult and it requires sometimes additional tools to get through those panels and actually get to where the fire is at so that we can put it out.
