Three people squatting in an abandoned house in Queens were killed when a blaze tore through the structure on Thursday night, police said.

The victims — all of them adult men — were in the house on Farmers Boulevard near 110th Road in Jamaica at about 11:55 p.m. when the flames erupted, fire officials said.

The men were pulled from the flames and pronounced dead at the scene, authorities said.

More than 100 firefighters responded to battle the blaze, with one suffering minor injuries.

He was transported to North Shore University Hospital, authorities said.

The case of the blaze is under investigation.
