One man is dead after the fire tore through his home just after midnight. Four people were injured. They were taken to hospitals, but they all suffered non-life threatening injuries.
The fire started at 12:30 a.m. in the first-floor bedroom in the two-flat. Benito Quinones, 93, died on the first floor. Three women and a man were injured on the second floor. All of these people are related and include women ages 62, 66 and 84, and a 65-year-old man.
A dog was also saved, but a cat died in the fire.
Firefighters say that a space heater is being looked at as a possible cause, but the official cause is unknown. It's unknown yet if there were smoke detectors in the home.
