"Two young women were left clinging to life and three others were hurt when an early Thursday fire swept through a four-story Brooklyn apartment building, officials said. The blaze erupted around 1:30 a.m. inside the building on Eastern Parkway near Troy Avenue in Crown Heights, leaving the women - 24 and 26 - suffering from smoke inhalation and listed in critical condition, according to the FDNY and NYPD."
"Both women were taken to the Kings County Hospital Center, while a 55-year-old woman also found in the burning building was taken to Staten Island University Hospital South in stable condition, cops said. She appears to be related to the 24-year-old victim, sources said. Another civilian was taken to Interfaith Hospital with a minor injury, and a fifth person refused medical attention, fire officials said."
"The blaze drew a dozen FDNY units - including 60 cops and firefighters - to the scene, the department said. The fire was placed under control by 2:15 a.m., and its cause remains under investigation by fire marshals."
