The fire destroyed two semi-detached homes on Staten Island.
Twenty members of the FDNY were injured during the blaze that destroyed the two semi-attached homes, with three of the firefighters suffering serious injuries.
“But, thanks to the brave work of our members, including those who went in and saved their fellow firefighters, rescued the trapped members, brought them to EMS on scene, who treated them immediately and brought them to this hospital, who treated them right away, we are here to say that they are stable but critical and that they will be OK,” she said.
The other firefighter, a lieutenant who issued a distress call, was rescued by fellow firefighters from the second floor.
