House fire in Brooklyn kills 6 people and injures 7, more than 200 firefighters respond
More than 200 first responders responded to the two-story home as investigators determine whether lithium-ion batteries found at the scene sparked the blaze.
- A three-alarm fire engulfed a Sunset Park, Brooklyn residential building on 58th Street early Thursday, killing six people when more than 230 FDNY personnel responded around 1:40 a.m.
- Investigators discovered a lithium-ion battery at the scene, with hazmat teams called to determine whether it sparked the blaze that officials said originated on the second floor.
- More than 200 firefighters brought the inferno under control in about three hours; seven others, including three firefighters, sustained injuries during the response.
- The American Red Cross is providing temporary housing to residents displaced by the fire, while the city's medical examiner remains at the scene investigating the deadly blaze.
