QUEENS, NY — A fire broke out in a diner on the edge of Forest Hills early Monday morning requiring dozens of firefighters to quell the flames, according to the FDNY.

The blaze erupted at Silver Spoon Diner on Junction Boulevard near 59th Avenue about 4:30 a.m., the fire department confirmed.

The department issued an all-hands alarm and 60 firefighters rushed to the diner, putting out the blaze in under an hour, according to the FDNY. No one was hurt in the blaze, fire officials said.
