- Joe Marino

Five firefighte­rs were injured when their truck careened through the wall of a building while responding to a blaze in Queens Sunday night, according to FDNY officials.

Members of Engine Co. 303 were responding to a report of a fire when their truck struck the side of an auto-parts warehouse at Liberty Avenue and 150th Street in Jamaica, officials said.

The truck pierced the brick facade of the commercial warehouse, tearing a 12foot gash in the structure.

Four of the five firefighte­rs refused medical attention at the scene, while one was transporte­d by EMS to North Shore University Medical Center in Manhasset.

No civilians were injured, according to f ire officials.

The cause of the accident is still under investigat­ion.
