Firefighters rescued a family trapped in a burning building in Brooklyn on Sunday, pulling a mother and her four children out of their third-floor apartment, a witness said.
The Fire Department said 12 units responded to the fire at a three-story building on E. 96th St. near Linden Blvd. in Brownsville around 12:30 p.m.
The witness said firefighters helped the children and their mother out of the apartment, as flames and smoke poured from windows on the second and third floors of the building.
