A baby boy was killed in a fire Sunday night when flames erupted inside a Queens home, according to authorities.
The 1-year-old child was rushed to the children’s hospital at Long Island Jewish Medical Center where he was pronounced dead about 40 minutes after the house caught fire around 11 p.m., the NYPD said.
Video from the scene showed FDNY firefighters using a truck ladder to put out flames in a room on the top level of the two-story house on 106th Avenue in Jamaica.
No one else was reported injured, the NYPD said early Monday morning. It’s unknown how many people were inside the home at the time of the fire.

An investigation into the fire is ongoing, including the cause, police said.
The FDNY did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
This is the second time in as many months a child has died in a Queens fire.
Last month a 7-year-old, as well as a teenager, were killed in an Astoria fire that was sparked by the battery to an e-bike, officials said at the time.
