A fire in a building in the Bronx claimed the lives of two adults and a baby this Sunday morning.
The disaster in numbers 2165 Quimby Avenue left four other adults with injuries, for which they were hospitalized.
According to the Fire Department, the fire spread around 6: 00 am
“Approximately at 06: 00 hours this morning we received a call at 911 about a fire at this location,” said the FDNY deputy chief. Kevin Brennan. “Units arrived in just over four minutes and encountered heavy fire on the first and second floors.”
The qualified alert of two alarms forced the extension of the operation.
“We immediately got down to work to get some of the victims out and it was quickly transmitted a second alarm. FDNY fire marshals are investigating the cause of the fire,” Brennan said in an official message.
A video published on YouTube shows the dramatic moments in which elements of the FDNY tried to rescue the affected people, with the baby in their arms and applying CPR to the woman.
The NYPD has not given details about the incident, as the causes or the identities of the deceased.
According to a report by the New York Post , some firefighters suffered minor injuries while attending to the fire.
