BROOKLYN - The Guardian reported that six people died and seven others were injured in a fire that roared through a residential home in New York City early Thursday. The paper said the city's fire department confirmed the toll, and that the injured included three firefighters. The major blaze was reported in the early hours in Brooklyn.

ABC News reported that a fire in a two-story home in New York had killed six people and injured seven others. Its headline placed the fire in Brooklyn and stated that more than 200 firefighters responded to the blaze.

The Guardian also reported that hundreds of first responders worked to control the blaze. Its summary said a lithium-ion battery was found at the scene, but did not say what role, if any, the battery played in the fire.

The two accounts agree on the number of people killed and injured. They differ in how they describe the response: ABC News referred to more than 200 firefighters, while The Guardian referred to more than 200 first responders, a broader term whose makeup the summary did not specify.

The reports reviewed do not name the victims or state a cause of the fire. The excerpt of The Guardian's report available for this account ends before its description of the response is complete.
