HORROR IN THE BRONX: At Least 19 Dead, Including 9 Children, In Massive Apartment Fire

NEW YORK POST: At least 19 people are dead, including nine children, after the city’s deadliest fire in more than 30 years tore through a Bronx apartment building Sunday morning, according to a police official.

The five-alarm blaze broke out just before 11 a.m. at 333 E 181st St, a 19-story building in the West Bronx, the FDNY said.

“This is going to be one of the worst fires we have witnessed in the City of New York in modern times,” Mayor Eric Adams said.

Around 200 FDNY members responded to battle the inferno.

Among the dead is a 4-year old, according to police sources. Fire officials said that at least 32 people sustained life-threatening injuries.

FDNY Commissioner Daniel Nigro said authorities “expect there to be numerous fatalities, but we don’t know yet.”

Adams, speaking from the scene of the blaze Sunday, called it “a horrific, horrific painful moment for the City of New York.”

“The impact of this fire is going to really bring a level of pain and despair in this city,” the mayor said at a press conference.
