Bronx Apartment Fire Leaves Dozens Homeless
Several people were injured, and many more left homeless, after an early-morning fire tore through an apartment building in the Bronx. Flames broke out around 2 o’clock this morning on the top floor of a six-story building in Parkchester. The heavy smoke and intense flames forced dozens of people from the building. Two young girls, a boy, and four firefighters were treated at Jacobi Medical Center for minor injuries. Department of Buildings inspectors are checking to see if the structure is safe before letting anyone back in. Residents said they are anxiously waiting for the all clear so they can see if their apartments have been damaged. ”There’s a chance of me being homeless,” said one resident. “I don’t want to do that. I have a kid on the way; I have a son. There are no words to describe how I feel right now. It’s really, really hard to deal with this. ”Fire sources say the fire was accidental, caused by an electrical problem.
