WHITESTONE, Queens (WABC) -- A fire tore through a house in Queens and the property surrounding it.
It happened Sunday afternoon on 6-24 159th Street in Whitestone. The FDNY reports 60 first responders were on the scene. They were able to bring the blaze under control just before 3:30 p.m.
One neighbor says he heard screaming as the family tried in vain to save their home.
"I heard screaming and then my mom was yelling at me to come outside and get the fire extinguisher. I came outside with it. The fire was way bigger than what a fire extinguisher could do," said Chris Anistasis.
There is almost nothing let of the home except the shell. Neighbors suffered loss to their property, but all are breathing a sigh of relief that no one was injured and all pets were safely evacuated.
Propane tanks were seen floating in the pool.
Anistasis also recalls a moment of panic when they couldn't find the father. Turns out he was on the roof of another home watching.
"The Dad's on the roof of the other house. That freaked me out a little bit. Not knowing if he'll be fine," he said
The family moved into the home about four years ago. Other neighbors were offering water and material support.

Thankfully the owner of the house was able to climb on the roof of his neighbor behind his house. The very inexperienced FDNY firefighters would have never put the fire out without his yelling and pointing and directing them on what to do. I always enjoyed having yellers and pointers directing operations once we got on the scene.

Been helpful if video was taken from another yard or street. No rigs IFO his house, guessing it was street behind. Surprised cops didn't showup to chase him off roof. Seems like basic house fire from this view
