"Three people were injured in a two-alarm residential fire in Coney Island early on Tuesday morning. Paramedics on an unrelated run reportedly spotted the fire on the top floor of a two-story Hart Place building at about 6 a.m. When firefighters arrived on the scene, flames had spread through the second floor and onto the roof. Responding Battalion 43 triggered a second alarm, bringing just over 100 firefighters and EMS personnel to the scene in below-freezing temperatures."
"The fire was brought under control just after 7 a.m., per the FDNY. Three civilians were left with minor injuries and refused medical attention on the scene. Firefighters requested a Department of Buildings inspection of the home, which appeared to have suffered structural damage, and the Department of Environmental Protection was called to repair a leaking fire hydrant. The FDNY fire marshal will investigate the cause of the blaze."
