Press conference by mayor Eric Adams onsite of devastating fire by Lev Radin
Mayor Eric Adams speaks at a press conference in front of the building where a deadly fire caused by malfunctioned space heater claimed 17 lives including 8 children in the Bronx. Fire started in the bedroom of the 3rd floor apartment and when residents left their place with the door opened, smoke quickly spread all away to the 15th floor resulting in injuries and death. That apartment door wasn't functioning properly and did not close automatically after residents from the apartment where the fire started escaped. Many were injured and are being treated in local hospitals. All residents of the building were evacuated and received help from the Red Cross. Number of dead were revised after confusion of where those bodies were taken from the building, however that number could get higher since some people are intubated.
