The fire started around 11 a.m. ET at a 19-story residential building on East 181st Street in the Bronx. The blaze was knocked down before 1 p.m., NBC New York reported, after roughly 200 firefighters responded to the scene. “This is going to be one of the worst fires that we have witnessed during modern times,” Adams said during a news conference Sunday afternoon. At least 63 people were injured, city officials said. Earlier in the day, New York City Fire Department Commissioner Dan Nigro said at a press conference he anticipated “numerous fatalities.” He added many of the victims suffered from severe smoke inhalation.
Nigro said the door to the duplex apartment where the fire originated was left open, causing the smoke and fire to spread throughout the building at a rapid pace. “We’ve spread the word, ‘close the door, close the door,’” to slow the spread, he said. Firefighters “found victims on every floor and were taking them out in cardiac and respiratory arrest,” he added. It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the fire, which will be investigated. Nigro said he doesn’t believe the source will be deemed suspicious. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said on Twitter she was “horrified” by the fire. “The entire State of New York stands with New York City,” she said. The Bronx fire comes just days after a fire tore through a Philadelphia rowhouse, killing 12 people, eight of whom were children.

Mayor Eric Adams said the fire was likely started by a space heater. The building, Twin Parks North West, is home to working class families, many of who depend on Section 8 rental assistance. Several residents said that the fire alarms are heard so frequently, they are often ignored. Dana Nicole Campbell, who lives on the third floor, said the fire alarms in the building go off five or six times a day. When they do, she said, “I roll my eyes.” The building was built in 1972 and had 120 units, including studios to four-bedroom apartments. 估计属于政府补助房之类。这些公寓很多暖气都不太行。估计住户得自己开取暖器补充，更增加火灾隐患。

把自家房门关紧
没有华人住这里吗？
相信极少或没有，此处属于半夜根本不敢行走的地方，黑人比例很高
啊
希望大家注意安全啊
除了开中餐外卖店的吧。华人基本上不会在黑人区的。
看了一些底特律的视频
我估计 我白天也不敢去有的区
何不食肉糜呀
住在这种房子里的有几个是有钱人呀
应该不是。起火的说是三楼的duplex, 政府楼应该没有duplex 的吧。
电视新闻说电取暖器着火🔥
还有巴西那个
开年不利
是私人的租赁大楼 所以可以接很多section 8
费城的大火据说是5岁小孩玩打火机引起的火灾。
好一点的高层都有sprinkler head，也基本上设计的是火一般不会蔓延到上一层，会安全很多
别吓我呀，我看到说一般新的condos都有呀
RIP
火灾死的大部分是被烟雾呛死。买个Full Face Respirator，紧急时可以救命。
你做个人吧！
感觉 像 是美国 50-60 年代 给 收入低的阶层盖的福利住房。
美国在 50 - 60 年代 大城市盖了很多 高楼福利住房，
很多都成了问题地区。
只要他们不放弃地产税政策就没有办法防止经济类似的人才会成为邻居这一事实。
西方国家 50 -60 年代盖了很多这种福利住房， 都是大高楼
但是材料很差
聽說NYC某些舊建築因為聚集了許多基層，內部被非法改造了許多格局，不知是不是這類
把窗户都打开然后把所有的抽风机都打开，可以吗？
火宅大多数是呛死不假 但是如果没呛死，能不能被救也不一定啊
要是带个面罩没被呛死，活活被烧死，那岂不是更痛苦！
这些楼房的生活条件很差
哎
