A fast-moving fire ripped through a home in Queens early Monday, sending two people to the hospital fighting for their lives while also injuring three firefighters, officials say.

Two people are in critical condition after the flames broke out just before 2 a.m. inside the home on 41st Avenue in Flushing, the FDNY says. The three injured firefighters suffered minor injuries.

The fire was under control about two hours later. The blaze destroyed much of the two-story house.

Video from the scene shows dozens of firefighters on scene while thick smoke and flames shoot from the home. 

More than 100 firefighters responded to extinguish the fire. It wasn’t immediately clear what may have sparked the blaze. The investigation is ongoing.
