One firefighter was treated for minor injuries at Maimonides Medical Center.

According to News 12, a fire marshal arrested someone at the scene, but neither the FDNY nor NYPD disclosed the person’s identity or the reason for the arrest.

Neighbors told News 12 that squatters moved into the house this summer.

The FDNY is investigating the cause of the fire.
