19 dead, including 9 children, in devastating New York City apartment fire



Emergency personnel work at the scene of a fatal fire at an apartment building. The majority of the victims were suffering from smoke inhalation.

The mayor of New York City confirmed on his verified account that there were ten adults and nine children who died in the fire.

The fire started in a building. There is a 19-story residential building in the Bronx. The fire was brought under control before 1 p.m., according to NBC New York.

Adams said during the news conference that the fire was going to be one of the worst he had seen.

City officials said at least 63 people were injured. At a press conference earlier in the day, New York City Fire Department Commissioner Dan Nigro said he anticipated a lot of deaths. Many of the victims suffered from smoke inhalation.

There was a fire in the Bronx in New York on January 9, 2022.

Nigro said the door to the duplex apartment was left open, which caused the fire to spread quickly.

He said that firefighters took victims out in cardiopulmonary and respiratory arrest.

It wasn't immediately clear what caused the fire. Nigro doesn't think the source will be suspicious.

Kathy Hochul was horrified by the fire.

She said that the entire State of New York was with New York City.

The Bronx fire comes just days after a fire tore through a Philadelphia rowhouse, killing 12 people, eight of whom were children.
