Five-Alarm Inferno After Explosion Engulfs Home, Injures Officers at Scene
Ten people were hurt — including seven police officers — when a home exploded and burned down while cops were responding to a dispute involving a knife, according to police and fire officials. Police responded to a reported dispute at a home on 130th Street in South Ozone Park around 2:42 a.m. Thursday — but when officers tried to get into the residence there was an “explosion,” NYPD said. The blast sparked a massive, five-alarm inferno that quickly spread throughout the two-and-a-half-story private home and extended to a house next door.
