Man Critically Injured in Park Slope Fire; 6 Families Displaced

I just got word that one of the victims of last night's fire at 392 Third Street was rushed to the Cornell Burn Unit. According to CBS 2 HD, he is in critical condition and is fighting for his life.

Another victim, a woman, is still at Methodist Hospital but she is in stable condition.

Six  families, who live in the 4-story, 8 unit condo apartment building, were displaced when a fire whipped through one of the top floor apartments. I am not sure if all the apartments were occupied.

According to CBS 2, the fire started in the living room and quickly became out of control. It was a 1-alarm fire and trucks from Squad 1, 122 and 105 responded quickly. It was an icy, cold night with temperatures in the low teens.

The Red Cross was on the scene and today they are helping the 6 families relocate. Two of the families have been taken in by friends or relatives.

The cause of the fire is as yet unknown.
