A third person has been recovered from the Queens residence where a fast-moving fire burned a total of five private dwellings Friday afternoon, fire department officials said.
The fire prompted a 5-alarm response from the FDNY, who responded to the Ozone Park structures on 125th Street around 2:30 p.m. The initial fire spread due to strong winds, damaging at least four neighboring structures within a couple hours. Hours after the fire was put under control, police confirmed that two people had died in the inferno. Construction crews were being brought in to knock in the building to see if there were possibly any additional victims killed.Stay informed about local news and weather.
