FDNY Firefighters Injured in Warehouse Fire

March 29, 2023
One firefighter was seriously hurt at the Queens fire.

A fire at a Queens warehouse Wednesday left several firefighters injured including one seriously.

Firefighters had difficulty entering the burning building because of how packed it was, CBS2 reported.

The warehouse, which is 20 feet by 80 feet deep, was stacked from floor to ceiling with portable air conditioning units.

Firefighters moved them to the sidewalk to gain access to the building to search. 

In addition to the seriously injured firefighter, four others and a civilian were hurt.
