JACKSON HEIGHTS — Firefighters doused a massive fire that broke out in a two-story home Monday morning, according to the FDNY.
The fire at 35-27 93rd St. broke out at approximately 10:18 p.m. and was extinguished by 12:45 p.m., fire officials said.
Four firefighters were taken to the New York Hospital Medical Center of Queens in Flushing for minor injuries.

Two adult residents received aid — including emergency housing at a local hotel — from the Red Cross, said Michael de Vulpillieres, communications officer for the organization's greater New York chapter.
The city's Department of Buildings issued a complaint against the property on Monday, after the home's roof collapsed in the fire and the FDNY asked for an inspection into its stability, according to DOB records.
The DOB issued a violation against the property on June 24, 2015, after getting a complaint that the attic had been illegally converted into apartments and that tenants were living there. The outcome of the DOB inspection was not immediately available.
