Three Firefighters Injured in Staten Island Blaze

Three firefighters sustained minor injuries while battling a two-alarm house fire in Tompkinsville, Staten Island, on Saturday evening. The fire, which broke out just after 7 p.m., required dozens of firefighters to respond, and the upper floor of the home was significantly damaged before the flames were extinguished. Witness videos showed dramatic scenes as emergency crews worked to contain the blaze, with residents looking on from nearby sidewalks. Meanwhile, in Woodland, California, three people were hospitalized due to a fire in an older home early Friday morning, with one individual jumping from a second-story window to escape. Firefighters faced challenges due to the home's age, which lacked sufficient working smoke alarms, and they continued to address lingering spot fires. The causes of both incidents are under investigation.
