Six people died in an early Thursday fire at a two-story home in Brooklyn's Sunset Park neighborhood, the New York City Fire Department said, with additional civilians and firefighters injured as crews fought the blaze^1,10,12.

The fire was reported about 1:40 a.m. on 58th Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues^1,10,12. ABC-owned stations described it as a three-alarm fire that destroyed the home and injured residents and firefighters^2,7. PIX11, citing officials, said the fire broke out in the basement of the two-story building¹².

The Associated Press, via Local 10 and The Philadelphia Inquirer, reported seven people injured, including three firefighters, and more than 200 first responders at the scene^10,11. PIX11 put additional injuries at 13, including three firefighters, and said more than 200 firefighters and first responders were involved¹².

The AP account said four people died at the scene and two who had been critically injured were later pronounced dead at a hospital, with four other people listed as having non-life-threatening injuries¹⁰. Names and ages had not been released as of Thursday morning in those reports^1,10.

The AP said the fire was brought under control in about three hours¹⁰. PIX11 said crews got it under control about an hour later¹². A lithium-ion battery was found at the scene; the FDNY said it was not known whether that was related to the cause, which remained under investigation^1,10.

What is not yet public includes a confirmed cause, the identities of the dead and injured, and a reconciled injury total between the Associated Press count of seven and PIX11's figure of 13 additional injuries^1,10,12.
