Early Saturday morning, the FDNY responded to a 3-alarm fire at 1905 Flushing Avenue in Queens, bringing approximately 120 firefighters, EMTs, and paramedics to the scene. Units arrived to find heavy fire originating in a tire repair shop on the first floor, with fire quickly extending to the upper floors and into an adjoining occupancy. “Units attempted an aggressive interior attack, but due to the volume of fire and a localized collapse in the rear of the store, we were forced to transition to an exterior operation,” said Assistant Chief David Simms. “This was a deep-seated and stubborn fire involving thousands of tires, which makes extinguishment particularly challenging.” At the height of the incident, members operated under difficult conditions as crews worked to confine the fire and prevent further extension. “We had a total patient count of nine on the scene, five firefighters with minor burn injuries, and five civilians with minor injuries that were transported to area hospitals,” said EMS Division Chief Evan Suchecki. “Our teams on the scene did a great job recognizing the injuries and transporting quickly to area hospitals to ensure that treatment was rendered appropriately.” Firefighters remain on scene as operations continue. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
