At least three private dwellings were ablaze Friday afternoon in Queens as firefighters rushed to get control of a fire threatening more nearby homes.
The fire prompted a 5-alarm response from the FDNY, who responded to the Ozone Park structures around 2:30 p.m.
The initial fire spread to at least two neighboring structures within a couple hours and three firefighters were being treated for minor injuries, officials said. Winds whipping through the area were proving a difficult challenge for crews trying to get a control of the fire.
