Fire Damages 2 Homes In Jamaica, Queens

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Two homes in Queens were damaged by a fire on Thanksgiving.

The three-alarm fire started around 7 p.m. on the first floor of a home on 108th Street in Jamaica. The flames then spread to a house next door.

The residents were not hurt, but a firefighter suffered a minor injury.

The flames were under control about an hour and a half later.

The FDNY said Friday the fire was caused by an electrical issue with an extension cord.
