NEW YORK — Eight firefighters were hospitalized with minor injuries Tuesday after a massive blaze tore through a Bronx home, officials said.
The fire erupted in the back of the home on E. 232nd St. near Laconia Ave. in Wakefield about 8:30 a.m. and quickly spread throughout the entire structure, said FDNY Chief Ron Spadafora. “The fire spread from the lower floors to the second floor into the attic,” Spadafora said. “We’re still having trouble getting into the attic to extinguish the fire but all the visible fire has been extinguished.”
More than 170 firefighters arrived at the green, aluminum-sided home within three minutes, but the fire already began eating away at the building.
