A devastating house fire erupted in Bayside, Queens, early Sunday, resulting in the deaths of three family members: a 90-year-old woman with Alzheimer's and her two adult children. Firefighters arrived shortly after 2:40 a.m. to find black smoke pouring from the residence. Neighbors recalled witnessing the aftermath and expressed shock at the tragedy, highlighting the family's long-standing presence in the community. Over 100 firefighters were involved in extinguishing the fire, with officials yet to release the victims' names or the cause of the fire.
"It was just black smoke pouring out of the house. I ran out and I saw them bringing one body out and laying it on the ground."
"They've lived here for a long long time over 50 years. I unfortunately I saw their bodies being brought out."
