Huge fire injures 16 in the Bronx
Appears to have started in furniture store
Tuesday, 2nd January 2018
The Fire Department of New York says 16 people have been hurt in a fire raging through a Bronx building.
Four of them seriously are in a critical condition.
Officials say over 200 firefighters have responded to the blaze at a four-story building near the Bronx Zoo in Van Nest. It was reported about 5.30am on Tuesday morning.
WABC-TV reports there are twelve apartments in the building, but the blaze appears to have started in a first-floor furniture store.
The blaze comes only days after the deadliest residential fire to hit New York City in at least a quarter century swept through a Bronx apartment building, killing 12 people.
