More Than 80 Homes Wiped out in Queens Fire

Posted: Updated:

A huge fire destroyed between 80 and 100 houses in a flooded neighborhood in the New York City borough of Queens.
    
More than 190 firefighters have contained the six-alarm blaze fire in the Breezy Point section, but they are still putting out some pockets of fire.
    
A fire department spokesman says one firefighter suffered a minor injury and was taken to a hospital. Two civilians suffered minor injuries and were treated at the scene.
    
Officials say the fire was reported around 11:00 p.m. Monday in an area flooded by the superstorm that began sweeping through the city earlier.
    
The neighborhood sits on the Rockaway peninsula jutting into the Atlantic Ocean.
