Following the house fire shared on BoroPark24 yesterday, more details have been released about the blaze at the home on 51st Street between 15th and 16th Avenues.

The two-alarm fire brought a heavy FDNY response, with dozens of firefighters and EMS personnel rushing to the scene. Ladder trucks surrounded the building as firefighters poured water onto the upper floors and broke windows to vent the thick smoke.

The fire was brought under control by 2:16 p.m. One firefighter was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries and is expected to make a full recovery.

After the fire was extinguished, firefighters remained on scene checking for hot spots while inspectors evaluated the building. A full vacate order was issued for the three-story structure due to damage to the roof, structural concerns, and extensive water damage.

Several nearby streets remained closed for hours as emergency crews completed their work.
