The FDNY fought a two-alarm fire that broke out near the Van Wyck Expressway in South Jamaica Tuesday evening.
Firefighters responded to multiple phone calls for a house fire at 137-11 131st Ave. and units arrived to find heavy fire and smoke in a garage just after 6:40 p.m. on March 29.
The blaze quickly spread into the first and second floor of a private, two-story house as the FDNY went to a second alarm at 7:12 p.m., bringing 25 units and 106 firefighters and EMS to the scene, according to the FDNY.
The fire was brought under control at 7:40 p.m. and searches showed no civilians were inside and there were no injuries to FDNY personnel at the location.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
