STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — The FDNY fought a fire at a house in Graniteville on Wednesday afternoon.
About 60 firefighters and 12 units responded to the “all-hands” fire called at 12:25 p.m. at 81 Vedder Avenue between Willow Road East and Willowbrook Road, according to a spokesman for the FDNY/EMS.
A civilian refused medical attention at the scene, the FDNY spokesman said.
