Three firefighters were injured during a three-hour battle with a four-alarm blaze that gutted a trio of stores early Saturday in Queens, authorities said.

The fire erupted around 2:20 a.m. along Springfield Boulevard near 112th Avenue in Queens Village, waking — and terrifying neighbors.

Wadah Zokari was in his apartment with extended family when one of his brothers sounded the alarm about the inferno raging next door.

“People in the street saw the smoke coming out of the building. Somebody was running and shouting, ‘Fire! fire!’ My brother went out and saw the smoke and called me.

Someone called 911,” said Zokari, whose family runs the New World Deli in the adjacent building.

He added: “I was nervous it would come over to my building. I have my family upstairs in the building – my wife, three kids, my brother and his wife, their kids, my mom…we have the whole building. My dad passed away last month — I don’t want to lose nobody.”

Zokari, 37, rousted his family members — all in their “sleep clothes” — and “we put on hoodies and covered the children in blankets and we ran out in the street.”

FDNY Assistant Chief Joseph Jardin said over 200 firefighters were on the scene three minutes after the call came in for a blaze at 111-46 Springfield Boulevard, where a “heavy volume of fire” was spreading from the roof and rear in the middle to the three attached commercial buildings.

The blaze was deemed under control shortly before 5:30 a.m., enough time to gut three of the five business on the commercial strip, including Spring Pharmacy, Dominican Hair Salon and Springfield Cutz Barbershop.

Raphael Torres, who owned the Dominican Hair Salon, said his wife, Beatriz fainted after seeing their beloved business engulfed in flames.

“I had to take her back home. This is all she knows,” he said sadly.

Two of the three injured firefighters had to be removed following a collapse of 20-foot by 20-foot roofing at the rear of the building, Jardin said.

Two firefighters suffered “serious but non-life-threatening injuries, Jardin said, adding one was taken to Cornell Medical Center with burns and another was transported to North Shore University Hospital, Manhasset. A third firefighter suffered minor injuries, Jardin said.
