Brooklyn firefighters rescued a teenage boy and his two young sisters from a roaring blaze in their Williamsburg apartment yesterday.

The fire broke out at about 6:45 p.m. in the front of a first-floor apartment at 79 Siegel St., trapping the boy, 16, and the girls, 2 and 4, in the back of the apartment, authorities said.

Firefighter Sal Diorio of Ladder Co. 102 got into the apartment and fought back the flames, while firefighter Andrew Hassell broke iron bars on the windows from outside and allowed the kids to escape.

The children were treated for smoke inhalation at Kings County Hospital and were in stable condition.
