Fire Rips Through Strip of Abandoned Stores Burned in 2014 Blaze

EDGEMERE — More than 100 fire fighters battled a fire that broke out in a strip of abandoned stores that were burned two years ago in another fire, officials said.

Fire officials received a call about a fire at 53-09 Beach Channel Dr. just before 5:30 p.m. on Sunday. 

It quickly spread, requiring 106 firefighters and emergency responders who put the blaze out before 7 p.m.

No one was injured in the fire, according to officials.

The one-story commercial building has been vacant for years, and was partially gutted by another fire in 2014.

The cause of the recent fire is still under investigation by the FDNY.
