Two Brooklyn women and their dog narrowly escaped from a raging Christmas Eve fire, authorities said today.
The fire began at about 6:50 a.m. and quickly engulfed the Prospect Lefferts Garden building. Firefighters rescued the women by extending a ladder to lead them to safety.
The two women were treated for smoke inhalation at Kings County Hospital.
Emergency workers fitted an oxygen mask to the face of the women’s tiny dog to save it outside the Rogers Avenue blaze.
Two other dogs belonging to the women likely died in the fire.
