3 Fires on Kensington – Ditmas Park Border In 3 Days

These last three days have been busy for Da Pride A Flatbush firefighters.

KENSINGTON –  A massive 3-alarm Kensington fire left numerous people homeless Monday night, with one firefighter suffering minor injuries.

The fire broke out at 8:42 p.m. on the second floor of 312 Parkville Avenue off East 8th Street and quickly went to three alarms because the fire was roaring from the rear and was difficult to access, fire officials said.

The fire quickly went into the third floor and through the roof, causing massive damage to the two-family building and some damage to the neighboring home.

The fire was under control by 10:30 p.m. Numerous people were left homeless after the fire and were being assisted by the Red Cross. The injured firefighter was said to have been treated and released at the scene.

Fire officials said they could not pinpoint the cause of the fire and it was under investigation by fire marshals. (Reporting By Todd Maisel)
