Six people died and seven others were injured, including three firefighters, after a three-alarm fire tore through a Brooklyn residence early Thursday morning.
The FDNY said firefighters responded at 1:39 a.m. to reports of intense flames throughout the two-story home on the 600 block of 58th Street in Sunset Park.
Four victims were pronounced dead at the scene. Two others were taken to nearby hospitals, where they later died from their injuries.
Four additional people suffered injuries that were not considered life-threatening. One person was seriously hurt, while the remaining injuries were described as minor.

Three firefighters also sustained minor injuries during the response, according to the FDNY.
Images from the scene showed extensive damage, with the blaze blackening the home’s exterior as dozens of firefighters and emergency personnel worked through the aftermath.
Fire marshals remained at the scene investigating, and the cause of the fire had not been determined.
Authorities had not released the victims’ identities as of Thursday morning.
