NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Two young children have been killed in a massive fire in Brooklyn.
The flames broke out overnight at a building on Schaefer Street in Bushwick.
FDNY officials told CBS2 the fire started around 11 p.m. Saturday night and spread quickly.
“Second floor and third floor was completely ruined by fire,” Bushwick resident Tim Clinton told CBS2’s Scott Rapoport.
Firefighters said they responded within three minutes of getting the call and that’s where they found two children – a seven-year-old girl and an eight-year-old girl – in a back room.
“When the two victims were removed from the building, our units performed CPR and they were transferred over to EMS,” FDNY Deputy Chief James Smithwick explained.
