UPDATE: At least 19 people have been reported dead after a Sunday morning Bronx fire broke out in a 19-story building
At least 19 people, including nine children, were killed in a horrific Sunday fire that roared through a Bronx high-rise after the door to the apartment where the blaze started was left open.
“This is going to be one of the worst fires we have witnessed during modern times in the city of New York,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams said at a press conference., “We saw moms fainting. They saw their kids dying.... We saw a bunch of bodies coming out. People from childhood were dying.” “There were certainly people trapped in their apartments all through this building, which is why our members did an unbelievable job of getting through every floor of this building and getting to these folks,” he added. “But some of them were already in arrest when we reached them.”
