PHOTOS: Six people died, and several others were injured after a three-alarm fire tore through a home in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, early Thursday morning.

The fire broke out just before 1:40 a.m. at a home on 58th Street. Flames shot from the windows as firefighters battled the blaze, which officials said appears to have started on the second floor before spreading throughout the two-story building.

The fire did spread to a neighboring home. Four adults were pronounced dead at the scene. They will have to be identified by the Medical Examiner. Two others, a man and a woman, died while being transported to the hospital. Four residents and three firefighters suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Among the injured, a man went to Staten Island University Hospital with burns to his feet, and a woman went to Maimonides for treatment of smoke inhalation.
