NEW YORK - More than 50,000 customers were without power in New York as the third day of dangerously hot weather continued to grip the region, officials said on Sunday .
"It is the third day of the heat wave, so the system is really baking at this point," company spokesman Alfonso Quiroz said. With temperatures more than 32 deg C by 8am Sunday, about 100 firefighters fought the heat and the flames on Sunday morning as a blaze tore through a house in Richmond Hill in Queens, killing a mother and her 7-year-old daughter, and critically injuring the woman's two teenage sons.
"They always complained about how hot their house was," said Tiffany Elahie, 14, a friend of the children who lived a few doors away.
