Boston blaze kills Brooklyn gal

A promising graduate of Brooklyn Tech HS was killed in a house fire near Boston University over the weekend, authorities said.

Binland Lee, 22 — who had been voted “most likely to succeed” while in the elite high school’s bio-med program in 2009 — was a student at the university and had been set to graduate this fall.

She became trapped in her attic apartment at the house in the Allston section after the blaze broke out at about 6:30 a.m. Sunday, the Boston Fire Department said.

Authorities are investigating whether the three-story home, which they said housed as many as 19 people, had been illegally converted into apartments.

Lee’s only way out was an interior stairwell that was blocked by the smoke and flame, firefighters said. Photos showed fire shooting out 10 feet above her attic window.

She was majoring in marine biology at Boston and served as vice president of the university’s Marine Science Association.

Nine students and six firefighters were also injured before the inferno was brought under control at around 7:30 a.m.

The cause of the fire was still being investigated.
