A 3-ALARM FIRE IN THE BENSONHURST SECTION of Brooklyn, New York, on Tuesday injured eight firefighers including one seriously when he “rode down” with a collapsing rear wall from the 3rd floor. The firefighter, a member of Ladder 148 who has been with the FDNY for three years, was taken to the hospital for serious, but nonlife-threatening injuries, fire officials said.
The fire began about 11 am in a sports card and memorabilia store and expanded rapidly throughout the entire 3-story building, bringing 150 firefighters to the scene. The fire was brought under control in two hours.
Initial investigation into the cause is not showing anything suspicious.
