Three men who police believed were squatters were found dead in a fire at a two-story home in Queens.
Police say the blaze at the vacant home on 110th Road and Farmers Boulevard broke out just before midnight. After firefighters extinguished the flames, they discovered three unidentified men inside the home.
It's unclear how the fire started.
Four firefighters were injured while attempting to put out the flames, according to officials.
The Daily News reported that a floor inside the home collapsed and at lease one of the firefighters fell down to the basement. The report has not been independently confirmed by NBC New York.
City records show some complaints were made at the two-story building two years ago about people illegally living inside the home.
