FDNY fire marshals and police from the 106th Precinct in South Ozone Park are working to determine if fireworks caused a two-alarm house fire at 116-50 Lincoln St. early Wednesday morning.
The FDNY received a call of a fire at the home at 2:19 a.m. on Oct. 22, and firefighters found heavy smoke conditions and fire damage to the back of the two-story residence. A second alarm was transmitted after the fire extended to a neighboring home, bringing a total of 25 units to the scene with 106 firefighters and EMS personnel.
Two civilians were transported to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center with non-serious injuries. The fire was brought under control at 3:23 a.m. FDNY fire marshals are investigating.
An NYPD spokeswoman said that people were setting off fireworks near the home.
There are no arrests and the investigation remains ongoing.
