A person suffering serious injuries and two people experiencing minor injuries were transported to Staten Island University Hospital in Ocean Breeze, according to a spokesman for the FDNY/EMS.
All three people are considered likely to recover from injuries that included smoke inhalation, according to a source with knowledge of the incident.

The fire was brought under control in less than an hour, at 2:41 a.m., the FDNY spokesman said.
