At least 12 firefighters were injured battling a blaze that raged overnight in a Queens warehouse, officials said Tuesday morning.

The inferno at 95-20 150th St. in Jamaica erupted about 6 p.m. Monday and was not contained until 4:44 a.m. Tuesday. It continued to burn and smolder in pockets as of 9 a.m., officials said.

Nearly 500 firefighters responded to the scene of the eight-alarm blaze. Each alarm means another 60 firefighters are called in.

Three of the injured firefighters suffered burns, including one who was burned over his head and face and had to be admitted to a hospital, officials said. The other injured firefighters were also taken to hospitals for treatment.

The warehouse, which stores materials for a company in the electrical wiring industry, is deep and long. The dimensions allowed the fire to spread, causing portions of the roof to collapse.

That forced firefighters to change their tactics on the fly, resulting in the need to call in more manpower, FDNY Division 11 Deputy Chief Vinny Mandala said at the scene.

“They initially started with an interior attack, and then after they had some structural issues, they pulled everybody out,” Mandala said. “It will remain an exterior attack for the remainder.”

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
