A fire at a Jackson Heights apartment, which injured two people last week, was caused by food left on a stove, according to fire officials
The two-alarm blaze began at 11:33 p.m. on Feb. 12 on the top floor of 35-64 81st St. and was under control about an hour later, the FDNY said.
The two injured people were taken to Elmhurst Hospital with serious, non-life-threatening injuries.
Fire officials also found no working smoke detectors in the home.
