Tenants of a Ozone Park
apartment building said they believe a
three-alarm fire that destroyed their homes
Monday evening may have stemmed from a fight
the night before between a couple who lived
on the second floor.
One firefighter was treated for minor
injuries following the blaze that severely
damaged the three-story apartment building
at 86-08 101st Ave. the Fire Department
said. The fire started around 4 p.m. on the
second floor of the building, according to
the FDNY.
Lynette Hernandez, who lived on the third
floor, said she had heard a loud argument
Sunday night between a man and a woman, both
of whom were living in the apartment where
the fire started.
“She was just screaming his name all night.
I called the police,” said Hernandez, 38,
who escaped the blaze with her son Mason,
16, four pet birds and pit bull.
