UPDATED 1:50PM EST & EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS POSTED BELOW: A young child is R”L in critical condition following a blaze in a Boro Park home Wednesday night.

The FDNY & Boro Park Hatzolah were dispatched to numerous reports of a fire in a home on 47th Street between 18th & 19th Avenues at approximately 10:00PM.

Upon their arrival, they found fire spreading through the first floor of the private home, a 3 & 1/2 year-old child critically burned, and a 65-year-old babysitter with smoke inhalation.

Hatzolah Paramedics were unable to transported the child to a “Burn Center” – due to her critical condition, so Hatzolah transported her locally to Maimonides Hospital, where doctors were attempting to stabilize her.

She was scheduled to be transferred to the Staten Island Burn Center at midnight, but unfortunately, it was called off at the last moment due to her condition R”L deteriorating.

The babysitter was transported to the Staten island Burn Center, and is listed in stable condition.

Although there is speculation that the fire was caused by a Menorah, it has not been confirmed by FDNY Marshall’s which are still conduction their investigation.

UPDATE THURSDAY MORNING FROM NY DAILY NEWS:

A 3-year-old Brooklyn girl was fighting for her life Wednesday night after being pulled from a fire in her home sparked when a lighted menorah toppled over, officials and a witness said.

Hatzolah ambulance workers rushed the toddler to Maimonides Medical Center. She was suffering from third-degree burns and had gone into cardiac arrest, sources said.

Her baby-sitter was taken to Staten Island University Hospital. Two others were also injured in the 9:30 p.m. house fire on 47th St. in Borough Park.

Their conditions were unknown Wednesday night.

“The baby has a lot of burns and is very critical,” said a law enforcement source who saw the unconscious child strapped to an ambulance stretcher.

Doctors “intubated” the girl and planned on taking her to the Staten Island University Hospital’s burn unit, sources said.

“The smoke was so thick,” said Benjamin Ovitsh, 39. “I heard the kid screaming.”

Ovitsh was driving with his nephew, Eli, when he said he saw plumes of black smoke rising over 47th St.

He pulled over his car and dialed 911.

“I was screaming to get the kid out,” he said. “I was yelling, ‘There’s a kid crying in the room!'”

Ovitsh said he tried to run into the building but was blinded by soot and turned back.

He said he spotted a lighted menorah lying on the floor inside the home.

“The kid’s pajamas were burned through,” he said. “But the kid was breathing.”

An FDNY spokesman said the cause of the fire was under investigation.

Neighbors said the tot is one of five kids and has a twin sister. Her distraught parents, Sara and Yakov Friedman, weren’t home at the time. “”Just the baby-sitter,” said a 13-year-old boy who lives down the street.

The boy said he was busy celebrating the sixth night of Chanukah, where candles or oil burn all night long in homes across the city, when he heard the baby-sitter outside in the street crying for help.

“She was lost,” he said. “She was yelling. She didn’t make any sense. A neighbor ran outside and then all these fire trucks came.”

Additionally, WCBSTV has just posted the following update: Friends and neighbors gathered in front of Yakov and Sara Friedman’s home to say special prayers for 3-year-old Tsivia Friedman, who was badly burned a house fire Thursday.

Fire officials believed an oil-based menorah started the blaze on the first floor of the attached home on 47th Street. They said the home was not equipped with smoke detectors.

Tsivia suffered third-degree burns and went into cardiac arrest. She was fighting for her life at Staten Island University Hospital.

“They’re really wonderful, special people. There’s nobody like them. It’s a tragedy. I hope God sends a speedy recovery to this child,” said Tsivia Fryer, family friend.

A babysitter in her 70s was watching the five Friedman girls.

Borough Park residents were so grateful that the first firefighters rushed in to save the trapped child before they’d even begun trying to battle the flames.

“The first two engines pulled up and they were met at the door by neighbors who said there was a child in the back room. They call in before the line was stretched, and one of the firefighters found the baby, the 3-year-old I should say, on the floor, pulled her out and handed her to the ambulance who was right outside,” said Deputy Chief William Tanzosh.

The Friedmans were known to be wonderful neighbors in this community. “Beautiful, unbelievably nice people. on a scale of one to five, they are a five,” said Naftuli Schwartz, neighbor.

Besides the three-year-old girl, three others were taken to the hospital. Their injuries were not life-threatening, just smoke inhalation.

Neighbors said the 3-year-old girl has a twin sister, and was one of five children.
