Nine firefighters were injured in a five-alarm inferno that tore through multiple homes in Queens Tuesday night.

The blaze ignited inside an attached, multi-family home in Woodside around 9:45 p.m. and quickly spread to neighboring homes, the FDNY said.

The fire burned through both floors of the two-story building at 37-18 59th Street and expanded to three separate homes, according to the department.

Nine smoke-eaters were transported to Cornell Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, the FDNY said.
