Around 106 firefighters and EMS personnel responded around 5:47 p.m. to the scene of a fire at a two-story home near Williams and Dewitt Aves. in East New York. Three firefighters who entered the building had climbed up to its second story when the floor collapsed under them, sending them crashing down to the first floor,"

EMS transported all four of them to local hospitals, where they were in stable condition. The FDNY is still investigating the cause of the blaze, which occurred at the rear of the house."
