A woman died Tuesday, and eight firefighters were injured, due to a fire at a house in Queens, the city fire department said.
The fire department battled the blaze in the house on 252nd St. around 87th Drive in the Bellerose Manor section of the borough.
Firefighters had the blaze — which started around 6:45 p.m. — under control within an hour.
The FDNY said two of the firefighters suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries, with one of them falling through the second floor of the home.
The cause of the fire, and the identity of the victim, is not known at this time.
