More than 200 city firefighters are battling the flames at the Gothic Cabinet Craft Queens Factory Showroom in Astoria. The warehouse, 27-50 1st St., is a four-story building that supplies the company's 41 locations throughout the city, Long Island, New Jersey and Westchester. Fireboats and cherrypickers have been brought in to help contain the fire, which is visible from East Side Manhattan and the Queensboro Bridge.
