NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Three people were killed in a fire in the Woodside section of Queens in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Four other people were injured in the blaze, including at least one person with third degree burns.
The Fire Department says the house on 65th Place was illegally subdivided, with two apartments in the basement, where the bodies were found.
The Buildings Department cited the owners with three violations prior to and after the fire.
Relatives of the owners told 1010 WINS that the fire may have been sparked by faulty electric heaters. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
