Ma, 2 kids arehurtin B’klyn fire

A mom and her two young children were badly hurt when a fire broke out in the kitchen of their Brooklyn apartment Monday, authorities said.

The blaze started just before 3:25 p.m. in a topfloor apartment at a sixstory building on Linden Blvd. by Rogers Ave. in East Flatbush. Firefighters brought the flames under control just before 4:10 p.m.

Firefighters took a mom, 40, and her two children, ages 11 and 2, from the building, according to police sources.

Quenie Jones, 66, a bricklayer who lives two doors away, said he heard an alarm go off, and saw smoke pouring from the family’s door.

“I could hear the baby crying. The super kicked it open and we went in,” he said. “But we couldn’t get far inside. The smoke was so thick. I screamed for my wife to call 911.”

Jones watched as firefighters took a crying little boy and his older sister from the apartment. The children’s mom and grandmother soon followed, he said.

“The girl looked lifeless,” he said. “We tried, but we couldn’t make it. The smoke was too thick. It hit me hard.”

One child was initially listed as critically hurt and rushed to Kings County Hospital, while the other suffered serious injuries and was taken to SUNY Downstate Medical Center, an FDNY spokesman said.

Their conditions have since stabilized, police sources said. Their mother was also taken to Downstate in critical condition, officials said.

The cause of the blaze remains under investigation.
