4-Alarms in Queens

Comments Off

A FAST-MOVING FIRE BROKE OUT in a row of shops in Queens, NYC Saturday morning around 10 am.  The fire appears to have started in the Acme Furniture store that was occupied at the time by an employee who was getting ready open up for the day’s business.

It escalated rapidly bringing a 4th alarm and 200 firefighters to the scene where it took 3-½ hours to bring it under control.  A neighboring 54-unit apartment building was evacuated as a precaution, but there was no fire damage there.  It spread to seven other business, wiping out half the city block, although later reports are saying that as many as 12 businesses were destroyed.
