NY Girl, 7, killed in New Year’s Day house fire on Staten Island

New Year’s Day turned tragic on Staten Island after a 7-year-old girl was killed in a house fire, police and fire officials said.

The blaze erupted shortly after 5:30 p.m. inside a two-story home at 110 Brookside Avenue in the Castleton Corners neighborhood.

Video taken at the scene shows firefighters crawling through the second-story window of the home, decked in Christmas lights, as thick smoke billows out.

The young girl was rescued from the home and rushed to Richmond University Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead an hour after the fire sparked, the NYPD said.

There were no other reported injuries, according to FDNY officials.

The fire was brought under control minutes before the young girl died in the hospital.

Neighbors told ABC7 that the New Year’s Day tragedy comes on the heels of another family death.

The girl’s grandmother, who helped raise her, passed away just before Thanksgiving.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
