NEW YORK (AP) - A brush fire that was pushed by strong winds toward a residential area damaged several homes Sunday and injured at least eight people.
The fire in Staten Island's Midland Beach neighborhood forced the evacuation of about 10 homes.
More than 250 firefighters tackled the blaze, and five were taken to the hospital, along with one resident suffering from smoke inhalation. Another firefighter and a police officer were treated at the scene.
