A raging restaurant fire on a packed commercial strip in Flushing, Queens, injured three firefighters Wednesday, fire officials say.
The blaze broke out inside a Chinese restaurant on the first floor at 135-42 Roosevelt Ave, in the afternoon, according to the FDNY. It spread to an adjacent building.
More than 160 firefighters responded, and the fire was under control by evening. Fire officials say three firefighters have suffered non-life threatening injuries.
The fire caused delays on the 7 subway line between the Mets-Willets Point and Flushing-Main Street stations.
It's not clear what started the fire.
