On Wednesday night, FDNY members responded to multiple calls for a fire at 955 Westchester Avenue in the Bronx. Firefighters arrived to find multiple cars and rubbish piles on fire. While on scene, an explosion occurred injuring seven firefighters. 

“The explosion injured seven firefighters, five of them with burns to the hands and the face. Three of them are being admitted. The burns are considered serious, but non-life threatening. Our firefighters are awake, alert and speaking, but they have some serious burns, and we'll be praying for them.🙏🏻

With quick action by our Emergency Medical Service, they were transported to Jacobi Hospital, where they were given great care by Jacobi Hospital emergency personnel in the trauma and burn center,” said Chief of Department John Esposito.  

FDNY Fire Marshals are working to determine the cause of the fire.
