Officials have confirmed at least eight people were injured, including an infant, in an early morning fire Friday.

The victims were sent to the hospital, two of them with life-threatening injuries.&nbsp;The injured included three civilians and an infant, as well as five EMTs who suffered minor injuries.

The&nbsp;FDNY's deputy chief&nbsp;says&nbsp;the fire started&nbsp;around 6:15 a.m.&nbsp;at 1243 Tinton Ave.&nbsp;and&nbsp;had already spread next door&nbsp;by the time firefighters arrived.

FDNY officials say 106&nbsp;firefighters responded.&nbsp;Firefighters&nbsp;found a woman in her 20s and a baby unconscious and unresponsive.

A 65-year-old man named Gerald Richards was also found inside with minor injuries. He says he lives there with his son, daughter-in-law&nbsp;and&nbsp;grandson, and that he escaped the flames by jumping out of the back bedroom window. He said&nbsp;his daughter-in-law was unable to do the same.

“She had worked her way to my room with the baby…. So, I was trying to open the window and I was having difficulty opening it," said Richards. "So, when I finally opened it and worked my way out, I told her throw me the baby. And I didn’t hear from her.”

Richards said he was awake until around 5 a.m.&nbsp;and&nbsp;has no idea how the fire could have started.&nbsp;

Console. The holder costs $30 includes a free entree card. A great idea. I don't know who is eating a Chipotle burrito. It's a lot, maybe like a banana or an app or something like that. Maybe a slice of pizza, a burrito. It's difficult to do when you just sit. Exactly. It's so messy and $30. That's a bit pricey. So hope's not getting one clearly. How about the weather though? But you know, the weather is looking pretty decent for the next couple of days first, we got to just get through the rain. Here's your travel timeline for this evening. Now through at least 8 p.m. some steady rainfall watch for some puddles ponding on area roadways from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Still going to be dealing with some wet roads, but at least the showers are coming to an end after 10 p.m. Cloudy and chilly with areas of fog developing into tomorrow morning. So here's a look at your weekend forecast. Temperatures tomorrow 58 degrees. This could be the last time this year that we can actually see temperatures this mild. So go out there. Enjoy yourself, not going to see that beautiful sunshine. It is going to remain cloudy through the majority of the day. Some wet weather by our Sunday, this time, it's looking like a washout. Temperatures will be in the low fifties with some steady rain, rounds of showers throughout the day and even some moderate to heavy rainfall. I'll time that out shortly. But as of this evening, the rain will be coming to an end around eight pm, cloudy overnight with fog developing tomorrow morning still chilly, waking up tomorrow morning, 46 degrees, but at least this is where temperatures are going mid to upper fifties with clouds taking over our sky by tomorrow afternoon. So if you're thinking of doing any holiday shopping, any holiday decorating tomorrow will be your best bet to get things done. Some showers do push through mainly after 10 pm on our Saturday, taking us into Sunday and then expect rounds of rain and even some moderate to heavy pockets of downpours closer to 12 pm, even three o'clock in the afternoon and temperatures will be in the low fifties. Showers do move out of here on Sunday evening. Some drier air funnels in on our Monday and highs will be seasonable near 50 degrees. It really begins to cool down by the midweek temperatures in the low to mid forties and we're even seeing a few flakes by Wednesday morning.

That address on your screen right now. All right, we're bringing hope back now for another check of that hyper local forecast. I've heard there's a warm up in our future hopes will be climbing into the mid to upper fifties this weekend. So that's something that we can look forward to. So we are also watching the some wet weather that's moving into our area right now. Here is the current timeline. So we're seeing some steady rain right now through at least 8 p.m. So watch for some puddles roads on area roadways and from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. just expect the roads to still remain wet, but the rain will be coming to an end. Can't rule out some drizzle some mist through at least 10 after 10 pm, cloudy and chilly with areas of fog developing into tomorrow morning. So taking a look at your weekend forecast, it looks like Saturday is going to be your best bet to really go out there and enjoy the conditions highs near 58. This will probably be the last time that we see temperatures this mild for the rest of the year, limited sunshine. So we're not going to see that bright beautiful sky but still an overall really decent day, Sunday looking more so like a washout, temperatures will be in a low to mid fifties and steady rain. Expect rounds of showers throughout the day and we will be catching brief breaks at times. So here's the timeline. So again, the rain will be moving out of here this evening. Tomorrow morning, we'll be waking up to some fog, reducing visibility. So, if you're one of those early risers, give yourself a few extra minutes and us, your low beam headlights, the clouds will take over by the afternoon and temperatures will be climbing once again to the mid to upper fifties. But we're not seeing the sunshine muted sunshine all day long with some showers to follow Saturday night into early Sunday morning. We're seeing some of that rain and even some moderate to heavy rainfall as we get into the day on our Sunday. Now, in terms of the rest of the weekend, even into early next week, temperatures will be tumbling back into the forties. All right.

we continue to follow a story out of Morris sr where a woman and baby are in critical condition tonight after being injured in a house fire that happened earlier this morning. News? Well, Samantha Cheney is on the scene with the very latest for us. Samantha Police and the fire department have been out here all day trying to put those pieces together on exactly what led to today's devastating fire. If you take a look behind me, you can see the damage that was left here like broken out windows on that second level, you can also see the siding is completely melted off and even parts of the roof have fallen. This footage captured by a neighbor who lives across the the street shows this house on 12 43 Tintin Avenue in a blaze around 6 15 this morning, according to the deputy chief. By the time they arrived, the flame had already spread next door. Were told that 106 firemen were out here fighting that fire and when they got inside they found a woman in her twenties and a baby unconscious and unresponsive. A 65 year named Gerald Richards was also inside at the time and suffered minor injuries. I spoke with him today after he was released from the hospital and returned to this home where he says he lives with his son daughter in law and grandson. He told me he escaped the flames by jumping out of the back bedroom window, but his daughter in law was not able to do the same. So I was trying to open the window having difficulty opening. So when I finally opened the window and work my way, I tell her to throw me debate. You hear from her. Richards tells me he has no idea how that fire could have started, but he says officials have told him his daughter in law and grandson will be okay. We have yet to confirm that information with police, but as we learn more on the condition of that woman and her baby will be sure to keep you updated in Morrisania Samantha Cheney News 12 smith.
