A devastating fire broke out in a crowded home in Jamaica Estates, Queens, during the early hours of Easter morning, resulting in the deaths of three individuals and injuring multiple others, including four firefighters. The fire, which was amplified by safety hazards in the illegally converted residence, forced some residents to leap from windows to escape the flames. The FDNY responded to the four-alarm blaze, providing updates on the tragic incident, which has raised concerns due to the lack of smoke detectors in the building. Investigations are ongoing as the community mourns this tragic loss.
