Three Port Authority police officers were hospitalized after battling a two-vehicle inferno in a JFK Airport parking garage on the afternoon of Tuesday, March 3. The FDNY arrived and eventually extinguished the fire.
Parking garage fires present unique challenges for firefighters, police officers, and emergency medical personnel due to low overhead clearance that prohibits fire apparatus from entering the structure.
Fortunately, the three Port Authority police officers were treated and released from the hospital.
