In light of recent deadly fires, New York City's FDNY Commissioner warns residents to keep doors shut, preventing fire spread between apartments.
In the wake of several deadly fires in recent days, the FDNY 's commissioner has an urgent message for all New Yorkers that could help save lives.
In just the last week and half, seven people were killed in three different fires in two different boroughs. The first happened back on May 4 in Inwood, where three people were killed in a fire caused by a lit cigarette. Two days later, three more people died in a fire that authorities say was intentionally set in Mott Haven. These recent fires have had a common and deadly denominator.
After the flames broke out, people fled their apartments and the building, and left doors open behind them. That allowed the fires to spread out of control. Eyewitness News sat down with FDNY Commissioner Lillian Bonsignore, who is spreading that mantra to all New Yorkers, in the hopes it will help save lives.
