Witnesses said flames engulfed several floors of the apartment building, and the fire was raging.
Firefighters rushed to the multifamily building at 136 Fountain Ave. Tuesday around 2:15 a.m.Two people were killed, and several others were hurt after a fire broke out in Brooklyn overnight.
"Anytime you see a whole family like this together and this time of the night - the amount of fire - and the emotion outside of some other you know neighbors, family members - I don't know at this time. It's very emotional," said FDNY Deputy Assistant Chief Chuck Downey. A 36-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officials say three girls – ages 10, 14, and 17, and one nine-year-old boy – were transported to Brookdale Hospital in critical condition. The 17-year-old girl later died at the hospital."I knew them for the longest, they're nice people.""I feel bad, because two lives just, you know they just two people pass away, its sad. I knew them for the longest, they're nice people," said a neighbor. The fire has since been placed under control.
