Doctors are working to save the lives of several people gravely injured in a New York City high-rise building fire that killed 19 people, including nine children on Sunday. Dozens were hospitalized, and as many as 13 people were in critical condition.
Dozens of people were hospitalized, and as many as 13 were in critical condition after Sunday’s fire in the Bronx, already the city’s deadliest in three decades.
Some people could not escape because of the volume of smoke, said Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro. Others became incapacitated as they tried to get out. Firefighters found victims on every floor, many in cardiac and respiratory arrest, said Nigro. “There may have been a maintenance issue with this door. And that is going to be part of the .. ongoing investigation,” Adams said on Good Morning America.
Building resident Sandra Clayton grabbed her dog Mocha and ran for her life when she saw the hallway fill with smoke and heard people screaming, “Get out! Get out!”
