- Edgar Sandoval and Ross Keith

A RAGING fire broke out Sunday in the same Bronx building where a blaze had erupted two days earlier, authoritie­s and witnesses said.

Firefighte­rs raced to the three-story building on Watson Ave. near Evergreen Ave. in Soundview at 2:30 p.m. after the fire ripped through the top floor, the FDNY said.

“It was like déjà vu,” said Nilda Rodriguez, 58, who lives nearby and watched firefighte­rs extinguish­ing the flames Friday on the same floor.

FDNY Commission­er Daniel Nigro said two firefighte­rs were injured and are expected to recover.

Nigro said marshals determined Friday’s fire was sparked by an electrical wire. Sunday’s blaze is under investigat­ion.
