A woman was seriously injured after a fire burned through two houses in Brooklyn on Friday.
NewsCopter 7 was over the fiery scene at 413 E. Third St. between Beverly Road and Avenue C in Kensington. FDNY officials say the four-alarm fire broke out on the first floor of a three-story home at the location around 5:45 p.m.
The fire quickly escalated, engulfing all three floors, including the cellar, and spread to the home next to it at 411 E. Third St.
Eyewitness Annabel Rodriguez said the fire was too close for comfort. "First, it was just smoke, it was dying down," she said. "I was about to leave and then it started flaming from the roof."
Over 30 units and more than 135 fire and EMS personnel responded to the scene as crews attempted to get the fire under control.
One woman was removed from the first floor of the home where the fire began.

A Friday night fire displaced the homeowners of a Lowville house.
According to the Lowville Fire Department, they responded to a call shortly before 10 p.m. Friday. Upon arrival, crews found a bathroom with the room’s contents on fire.
Crews were able to extinguish the fire within 15 minutes, however, they say they gutted the bathroom to ensure the fire didn’t extend to any other rooms. Other parts of the house did receive minimal smoke and water damage.
Officials with the fire department believe that after some cleanup, the building will still be liveable.
The homeowners were able to retrieve belongings before heading elsewhere to stay for the night. They were checked for smoke inhalation on scene and no other injuries were reported.
A burning candle in the bathroom was determined to be the cause.
