More than 100 FDNY personnel extinguished an early morning blaze that broke out Tuesday, July 13, on Jamaica Avenue in a Richmond Hill storefront.
The fire broke out just after 1 a.m. at Maria’s Nail and Beauty Supply at 102-19 Jamaica Ave. beneath the J/Z subway line, according to the FDNY.
The blaze was classified as a two-alarm fire, bringing 25 units and more than 100 firefighters and EMS personnel. It was a tight squeeze for Richmond Hill’s Ladder 143 and Ladder 127 from Hillside Avenue. The fire was placed under control just after 2 a.m. and four firefighters suffered minor injuries. They were removed to area hospitals for treatment, according to the FDNY.
Several families from second-floor apartments were displaced by the fire. This stretch of Jamaica Avenue in Richmond Hill is no stranger to devastating fires. Just five months ago, a five-alarm fire broke out at the Dollar Store at 109-25 Jamaica Ave. and destroyed six buildings.

When you need the fire department, time is of the essence. Our next mayor needs to re-fund the FDNY. There have been way too many cuts in the FD's budget!
"Several families from second-floor apartments were displaced"
Sound like an illegal building
Its a small building, The bottom is commercial with a single top floor
What do they mean "several family's" ?
Its should be TWO and that's packing it in !!!
What is the landlord running partitioned box of sardines and if so where was code enforcement inspector, the fire marshal and sheriff.
It sounds like somebody belongs in jail for massive violations and mass negligence.
Someone is pushing out the locals. Indian? or Chinese?

Well if you are a small time landlord and tenants don't pay rent on residences and businesses can't afford big rent but your real estate taxes are high...
Jamaica Ave. is one big shithole to walk on.
The whole avenue needs to burn down so real estate developers can build new energy efficient buildings, wider sidewalks, and make the avenue brighter at night.
