Firefighter Alonzo Ferguson of Ladder 150 rescued one man by ladder from the rear of the building at 112-15 Francis Lewis Blvd.
One woman jumped from a second-floor window and broke her ankle but was treated on the scene. A total of eight injuries was reported, but six were treated and released from the scene as well. Two firefighters were also taken to North Shore University Hospital with minor injuries.
Another two-alarm fire was reported at a St. Albans two-story private home Sunday morning. One of the house's residents, Leonard Washington, 35, was taken to the hospital with third-degree burns.
Ladders 133 and 314 responded to the first-floor fire, which was reported at 9:40 a.m. at Murdock Avenue and 175th Place. The fire was put out approximately 50 minutes later.
Two firefighters were also transported to Mary Immaculate Hospital along with Washington, who on Monday had not been released, the family said.
The causes of both fires have not yet been determined by the Fire Department.
