The man was working inside 39-35 47th Ave. — where AMS Dental Laboratory Inc. is located according to online listings — when he was burned at around 11 a.m.

It’s unclear at this time whether he was burned in an explosion.

The FDNY responded to a report of an explosion in a shed at the address. An aerial view of the address shows a shed on the back roof of the building.

Ridgewood mother and daughter arrested for attacking woman over parking spot: NYPD

A Ridgewood mother and daughter were arrested Monday after they ambushed a young Black woman who tried to park her car in a spot in front of their apartment building that they frequently cordon off with garbage cans and traffic cones.

A family friend was standing at the northeast corner of Onderdonk Avenue and Putnam Avenue at around 7:30 p.m. when the 21-year-old Jada McPherson tried to park her car in the spot. The man placed a garbage can in her way. She drove off and circled the block multiple times. She tried to pull into the same spot one more time, but the man tried to stop her again. McPherson got out of her car to confront him, and an argument ensued.
