On Sunday, 19 people lost their lives in a massive fire in the Bronx area of New York. 9 children were also included in the death toll. At least 32 people are also admitted in the hospital. Their condition remains critical. It has been told that the fire started on the second and third floors of an apartment. The incident is said to have happened around 11 am on Sunday.
After preliminary investigation, the cause of the fire is said to be an electric heater. There was some fault in the heater itself and then a fire broke out on the third floor of the apartment. Then slowly the flames reached the second floor and there was an atmosphere of chaos in the whole apartment. At least 200 fire brigade teams reached the spot and then a massive rescue was started. Many people were saved, but many got badly burnt in that fire. Mayor Eric Adams is shocked by the incident of this fire. They are considering it as the worst fire incident of the past years.
Now all the people who have had a successful rescue from the apartment are bringing back horrifying memories. One person told that the fire alarm was sounded, but he thought it was fake and he remained in his room. But when the notification came on his phone, then he swung into action. But the smoke of the fire had spread throughout the apartment. The smoke of the fire was so much outside, it was not possible to go down from the building. Then the person decided to wait and then the rescue team took him out safely.
Fire Department New York Commissioner Daniel Negro has also been surprised by this incident. He says that earlier in the year 1990, there was a fierce fire in the Happy Land Social Club. Then a total of 87 people had lost their lives. It was told that after an argument with a girlfriend, an angry man set that club on fire.
