Conflicting information. Firehouse.com has it as Brooklyn with five firefighters injured, two seriously. (Same address as the Post story, different borough)

Fire officials are investigating the cause of an early-morning fire in Brooklyn that injured five firefighters, two of them seriously – hours after another fire in the borough claimed the life of a man.

Flames broke out around 4:30 this morning on the first floor of a single-family home on 192 Concord Street in Downtown, Brooklyn.

Edit: The NY 1 story confirms firehouse has it right, NY Post is wrong. Wish I could change the Topic Title. Chris, Jack, Izz, can you help me out?

2 members initially transported. One yellow and one red tag. Both released from the hospital later that day. Officers really need to be re-educated as to what the different triage colors mean. On many occasions after assessing a patient I've had one of my officers transmit an entirely different story.
