Summary

A fire in a two-story house in Brooklyn's Sunset Park neighborhood, New York City, early Thursday, November 5, killed six people and injured nine, among them firefighters and police officers. More than 200 first responders fought the blaze, which took about three hours to bring under control and spread to a neighboring row house. Four residents were rescued alive. Accounts differ on details such as whether the injured are expected to survive and on the number of neighbors displaced. A lithium-ion battery was found at the scene, but its connection to the cause is not known, and fire officials have not confirmed the cause. Mayor Zohran Mamdani called the fire intense and fast-growing. Lawmakers and safety advocates renewed calls for tougher rules on lithium-ion batteries.
