An explosion at a dry dock on New York City’s Staten Island killed one person and injured 36 others on Sunday, officials said. The blast occurred as firefighters were on the scene responding to a fire and attempting to rescue two people who were trapped. Two firefighters were hospitalized, including a fire marshal who suffered a fractured temple and a brain bleed and was intubated, officials said. The other firefighter was in serious condition but had shown improvement. “This was a complex, fast-developing emergency situation,” New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani told reporters. Officials did not provide details about the person who died, except to say the victim was a civilian. A comprehensive investigation will begin once the fire is completely extinguished, Mamdani said.
