An 8-year-old boy was killed in an early morning fire that ripped through a Flatbush home, police said.
The blaze filled the first floor of the home on Bedford Avenue near Farragut Road about 2:50 a.m., authorities said.
Sixty firefighters extinguished the flames shortly after 3:30 a.m., according to an FDNY spokesman.
The boy was pronounced dead at the scene. A civilian and a firefighter also suffered minor injuries and were taken to Long Island College Hospital for treatment.
The cause of the fire has not been determined yet, but it is not believed to be suspicious.
A blaze this morning in the Bronx also critically injured a man, authorities said.
He suffered second-degree burns to his face and hands after a fire on West 197th Street near Sedgwick Avenue about 7:20 a.m., according to an FDNY spokesman.
The man was taken in critical condition to Jacobi Hospital, but is expected to survive.
A firefighter was also injured after he fell at the scene, and broke his arm. He was listed in serious condition.
