- 19 are dead, including 9 kids, after one of the worst New York City fires in a generation.
An electric space heater is being blamed for sparking the horrific high-rise Bronx apartment fire, city officials confirmed Sunday evening.
The fire originated in a duplex on the second and third floors of the building but never extended past the unit and the hallway nearest the apartment, FDNY Commissioner Dan Nigro revealed. Smoke generated from the duplex blaze was able to filter out through an open door and spread throughout the structure.
Marc Santia, Adam Harding and Ida Siegal report.

Man this touched home. I grew up in a building with 24 floors and 10 apartments on each floor. I never even considered what i would do during a fire. Heartbreaking is an understatement. The children...😔😔
For the many high rise fires , I wonder how come none have done fire safety drills. Or put a slide shoot on the side of the buildings for reasons of tenants to escape situations like this😥😭💔
Thank you for your service to the FDNY and May the families find peace for their family members.

Watch how slow they get the hoses out
Wow, this just happened in Philly a few days ago where 13 people died in a 3 story duplex. Please everyone check your smoke detectors, make sure they are working. And pray for the families who are victims of this tragedy.
These were working. Did you even watch the video.
It's not the smoke detectors it's the design of the buildings inside
@@steve10 I think this was just a general reminder to check your smoke alarms. A lot of people steal the batteries out of theirs for Christmas toys.
Keep doors shut. Keep fire doors shut. And if your building does not have fire doors, agitate for them!
Are there any clips on youtube of the inside of buildings like this , im fascinated now to see the difference between UK and US High Rise apts , I think if you know and have been in one you can get a grasp of how this could have happened , it just shows how much trust we have to have in people who design buildings and the companies who make them , we don't know how many corners are cut , I dont live in a high rise but it makes me question my home tbh. No one knows anything about where they live until something goes wrong
Sending my prayers, condolences and sympathies to the victims and everyone else involved in this heartbreaking apartment fire... 🙏🏼
Oh that's great. Well done, that'll be a comfort. Terrible thing, isn't it? But at least you got to grandstand how lovely you are. Every cloud, eh?
@@michaelc3977 ur life must be miserable.
Yeah I'm sure that'll help. 🤣🤣🤣
@@Alex-et5tj You can't even spell out whole words like an adult, so be quiet, and go back to licking windows.
@@slappy8941 I hope you get better bro. Praying for you to become a decent person🙏
No fire escape on a building of this structure. Negligence. 💔
That what i was thjnking
High rises do not come with fire escapes they only come with Balconies or a Terrace and in this case this is not considered a luxury unit so they have neither. But the building was built with more than one staircase in an event where someone needed to escape a fire. And the building also has brick interior which is non flammable so the fire is less likely to spread fast. But in this situation it was the smoke that did the damage because the occupant of where the fire started left the door ajar leaving the smoke to spread thru out the building.
They r made like that all.iver the city, supposedly they can withstand fire if your door is closed...dont trust that /that is why.peoole.ran to halls.and hallways.
@@normacolon9618 you can clearly see the fire did not spread it was the smoke. I hear you I would have ran too , I’m not staying . All I keep thinking about is dam he got his family out if only he would have closed that door. But if you don’t know that you not gonna take a second to do it, the fear keeps you running.
Askia Abdul-Salaam sad bc if they had a balcony it probably would’ve helped to save lives (since smoke was the issue). My point is there has to be a better way.
Absolute heart-breaking tragedy, that is so crushing for those little kids and families.
Yes yes yes
Sad sad yes yes
Rest in peace

That man who carried my child thirteen floors to safety… my new best friend
Definitely a hero! Thank God your family is safe!
What a good person that man for saving that little girl AND taking care of her until she could be reunited with her family. That is truly heartwarming with all the crazy stuff people are doing this man was kind and good. Thank you. My prayers for the people.
Scary to live in apartments, especially the tall ones, because you never know what your neighbors are doing that could potentially affect everyone. You can only hope that management and people will be vigilant.
My heart goes out to the families
So the same company that didn’t provide a fire escape or a second way out to tenants “sends there condolences”? Once the families are able to function again, they need to lawyer up.
Never seen a building that big without one fire escape
Good point! God sees. In the End everyone is held accountable in His eyes.
May the peace of the God be ever present both within you and those you love.
May God's face always shine upon upon you.
Stay Safe. Stay Free.

All about money 🤦♀️
Sue that man with 8 kids in that apartment. It was his heater close to a bed that caused the fire.
@@greenteadoll2384 exactly.
How sad! It makes me think back to the times I worked in the ER and we got victims from fires, and the sadest part for me was when children were in cardio-respiratory arresst, and though we had to be aggressive treating them; we had to be gentle and careful not to break their ribs. My condolences to everyone affected (mentally, physically, etc) by this fire. Thank you Mahamed for saving one child!
So sad that's a tough job god bless u
Thank you for your service, compassion and humanity ❤️❤️❤️
this is very sad and heart breaking. I feel like the landlord did not give them enough or any heat and that's why they were using a space heater. I learned in school ribs can heal, just keep pressing till you get them to breath.
My daughter and grandson live in River Park Towers, which is less than 20 minutes away. On my way to her apartment, I pass by this building EVERY DAY. I can't even tell you how broken hearted I am at hearing this awful tragedy.
These landlords should be held accountable for being So dam stingy with the heat.
It's time to investigate every building like this one now and every landlord if the building , because something isn't right , one fire in one flat with smoke detectors working shouldn't cause this , there is obviously a lack of fire doors or there are too many open spaces, the designs also have to be looked at , this can happen in any building thar is the same.
It gives me a chill that we live thinking we are safe and from nothing this happens , I would be scared if I lived in a similar building I dint think I could sleep now.
It’s going to be interesting to see if the building was up to code. It’s sounds like this fire spread a lot faster than it should have.
@@emmaspacelee it wasn’t up to code cause it was a federally funded building.
@jon Based on what ?
I dumped my ex girl because she didn't understand how important turning a space heater off when no ones home. These things cause fires
Good
Rip to all of them, very sad. Big shout out and respect to the guy who helped the mother with the kids carrying one of them 13 floors down, you're a hero mate and ofcourse the fire fighters also 💯👍
Wow amazing heros so sad for the victims in new York and in Philadelphia too
Ayo stfu wit that "mate" talk u white folks way of talking is lame as hell
@@NevaSellmySoul so is yours
@@bennetts-revenge_2 at least my kind arent feebles like your sick minded kind
@@NevaSellmySoul ya right!
Prayers going up for all. So sorry for the loss
You can pray in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills up first.
@@slappy8941 Seems you got triggered?🤣
Rip to all the victims who died today prayers are with them 🙏🏼
The most horrid fires happen during the coldest weather. I knew that many victims meant the smoke over came then. Father God help them.
Duplexes are very dangerous when it comes to fires, there's often no fire escape and a part of the apartment is either upstairs or downstairs. This makes escaping from a fire more dangerous due to its location. I lived in a duplex apartment and the sleeping area was downstairs and all it took was something like this tragedy to trap everyone in. My condolences to the families. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
If there was only one apartment entrance door and if it was upstairs, you were essentially sleeping in a basement. Was your apartment protected by an automatic sprinkler system inside the apartment?
Crying, crying, crying for those poor, poor people....so much pain and sorrow. Watching with horror and deep sadness from Aotearoa New Zealand. Arohanui.
The overexaggeration of your grief is astounding. How do you ever watch any world news when it clearly pains you oh so deeply?
@@michaelc3977 The over exaggeration of your callousness towards the dreadful loss of life under such shocking circumstances is astounding. Tragedies of this sort 'pains' most normal folk deeply, especially when children are involved. Shame on you.
@@michaelc3977 shame on you. Little kids died.
@@x-75hurricane65 I'll get out of your way so you can spew your deepfelt grief and sympathy, but do try not to upset yourself too much. Afterall, you'll have forgotten about it all by next week.
@@mckenzie.8653 You place more value on a child's life than anyone elses? Shame on you.
For everyone here in NY this is truly devastating my heart is with any and everyone affected 🙏🏽
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😭😭😭😭😭
Why was this family using a space heater? Did they not have heat...if so why not? Everyone should have heat, water, and electricity regardless of their financial status. PERIODTTT. It's hard out here penny pinching and the rent is waaaay too high for these low wage jobs.
Beverly Wilkerson According to an article I just read on PIX 11 (NY news website), all of the apartments in the building had heat. The occupant(s) of the apartment where the fire started, was using a space heater in the bedroom for "supplementary warmth" _(extra_ heat).
I agree with everything you said 💯✔🙏🏻😭
MY family died in a house fire on long Island and know one gave a dang dime I was on my own with 3 dead people and one badly burned.....I'm CRYING 😢
Hahahahahaha liar wants money
Sorry for you
Red cross shouldve been available at least and social worker.
It really breaks my heart how disproportionately these events harm the poor and minorities.
It reminds me of Grenfell in London. So sad.
True but still "Time and unforeseen occurrence befall us all."
May the peace of the God be ever present both within you and those you love.
May God's face always shine upon upon you.
Stay Safe. Stay Free.

@@agnesphilips2714 same. Its deplorable
If only they learned basic fire safety
Lol don't play with matches low iqs
Very sad. Prayers for everyone that was there and especially those poor babies.
Yes I'm sure your prayers will do a ton of good. You should have prayed that they're building didn't catch on fire. Why would you do that?
Provide adequate heat to tenants!!! My prayers and condolences to the families and loved ones!
My prayers and condolences to all the families! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Well that'll make everything better, won't it?
Everyday there's always a tragedy. God help those people who are affected by this nightmare.
Oh God did help, he gave those people a slow and painful death.
This is so sad! Prayers for everyone!
God bless the drs and nurses who are already super swamped by COVID
This is so sad and tragic 🥺😢
I cried the whole time watching this 🙏🏽🙏🏽
This is a direct result of our countries outrageous prices for utilities! People have to depend on space heaters just to try and stay warm. It's despicable, this happens all the time, people trying to save a little money because of our greedy utility prices. This is a nationwide problem and unfortunately this was a huge fire and so many were impacted and died 😢😢
This is insane. Smh . This hurts.
So tragic for these people, sending well wishes from Australia.
My deepest condolences to all the families. Sending prayers from Canada 🙏
So sad.The same thing happened in Philadelphia last week. 13 people died in a fire in a apartment building.Adults and kids
LandlordS don't want to give heat!!!
Absolutely heartbreaking!!
Prayers go out to all involved!!
Praying for the helping hands who were involved with saving lives. Please pray for everyone keep these folks in our hearts.❤🙏
My hearts go out to the families 💔 🙏🏼 Thank you to all the first responders and Red Cross for all that you do!! ❤❤❤
Thank you
This is heartbreaking, my sincere condolences to all affected. 😢
My deepest condolences to all involved in this horrible tragedy....May their souls rest in peace
No fire escapes? Sad story.
FDNY Thank you for your services 🙏
May their souls rest in peace.
RIP to the departed. Thank you FDNY, the true heroes
OMG! Prayers to All the families and neighbors over there.
God Bless you all!
God God God please help us? God bless all of those people in that building. Thank you for the firefighters and the heroes that saved others.
Buildings too big are a fire trap. Too many residents living in the building. Rest in peace.
My god this is so sad. My heart goes out to the families. R.I.P ❤️
Prayers for all involved.
No fire escapes? Remember apartment/project dwellers: You are only as safe as the stupidest tenant. They should sue those responsible & city employees PERSONALLY, not the city itself from city funds & tax dollars.
No words how many fires ??
Especially this building
Sending my thought and prayers to everyone affected & Rest In Peace to the children and people who lost there lives 😞🙏🏿💗
My Deepest Condolences! So sorry for the lives lost.🙏❤
MY CONDOLENCES TO ALL THE FAMILY IN BRONX OF THAT GOT CAUGHT UP IN THE FIRE. SO SORRY.
Caught up??

Life is so precious. Here one day and gone the next. RIP 🙏
What a horrible tragedy, thoughts and prayers to all involved 🙏🙏🙏
Wow so many fires and so many lives do due fires. So sad. I pray for the victims and families 🙏🏽
That young man who rescued those children is a hero.what a caring young man.i hope the victims receives the help they need.
Thats my fear of living in buildings!!!! And i would not rent any apartment in a building no thanks ill pass! One apt catches fire because of a irresponsible person all it takes is one careless person can cause next door and upstairs and downstairs to catch fire it spreads like butter
My prayers go out to all the families but I blame the city for poor infrastructure. Moreover, when fires occurs you must close the door. But people please stop using these space heaters especially if they aren't safe.
It's probably really cold in the building
@@janegroysman7743 still they not safe
Is the city responsible for closing the door?
@@janegroysman7743 apt. Buildings in the winter..crazy cold..and u cant be in gloves and hats when u.have to work, cook and clean..so.its.super.cold i am going thru this in my apt..hardky any heat.
@@unfetteredpatriot1000 no the resident
I put a like in this video ,not that I liked the content of the tragedy but of the heroic things that happened . The young man who helped a mum and children escape bless them all xx
Do not plug a space heater into a extension cord…. Prayers to all of the families.
OMG that's so horrible! Praying for those who lived there and their family, friends, neighbors and the city! So heartbreaking!!
Sending my Condolences to all the Families
My heart breaks for them all 💔
That's terrible my deeply condolences for the family's that loss their loves ones.
People close the door after you leave a room that is on fire.
That’s so scary cause that’s close to me and the cause was a space heater. I literally just turned mines off. It’s 28 out side feeling like 16 and when you live in the projects the heat barely work. It’s just so sad RIP.
Just don’t leave it on while you sleep and if you’re not home.
Too many people are careless and keep them running constantly and too close to flammable materials.
Prayers for everyone who was involved in this tragedy. It's sucks 9 kids died.
Prayers for everyone 🙏🏻 such a tragedy
What a horrible way to start off 2022. Prayers from Florida! This is beyond saddening!!!!
Just brings tears to my eyes....prayers for everyone involved in this horrible tragedy
Jesus - where are the fire escapes 😱
Prayers 😔
People, please stop dismantle or remove batteries from the smoke and monoxide detectors. As a property manager, renters often take out the batteries or completely off the wall because they beep especially when cooking and people make a lot of smoke.
The smoke detector was working, the tenants called 911 as soon as rhe alarms went off. The main reason the fire and smoke spreaded is because the apartment door was left open.. It Gave the fire oxygen by leaving the door open.
What’s crazy is no one in the building thought to close the door
Yes! These kinds of people are notorious for the beeping batteries and to cheap to replace them!
@@bogardorbully no
@@unfetteredpatriot1000 hindsight is 20/20. I can only imagine they saw the fire and ran.
Devastating
Man… this is horrible 😢😢😢😢 Prayers to the families 🙏🏾🙏🏾
God Bless all souls in these "Times of Sorrows." ❤🙏🏽
I 🙏🏾 everyone gets thru this terrible tragedy.
Prayers for ALL!!! PEOPLE Close the Door to the Room the Fire is in and the Next Door behind you if their is one. This can give people time to leave and Breath.
So sad sending my regards from India 🥺🥺
This is absolutely shocking and devastating. Wow! RIP to the victims and sending my prayers to those that survived.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽’s & My Deepest Condolences 💐 To The Families of This Tragic Event..😔😞😢
So horrible!! Yet, thank goodness for the FDNY!!!!! I know they did their best!! They pulled me out of a similar situation 3 yrs ago, and I had literally few minutes left when they came through my door in PITCH BLACK smoke and the fireman took off his mask to give me oxygen!!!!! I was about to go down at that moment before he gave me oxygen!! FDNY are indeed, New Yorks Bravest!!!
They really deserve every good thing.
they tried their best in this and they will hurt knowing it was too late.
Here in the UK we have kids phoning the fire service as a false alarm , then when they arrive these kids then throw stones at them , can you believe there are humans that would do something like that when they face danger everynight just like the guys in this tragedy , they dont earn enough money imo, I bet the numbers would have been higher if we didn't have them
Wow God bless them and you 🙏
Firefighters are some of our truest heroes 🙏🏾❤️
My condolences to the victims and all people injured. People please be safe out here.
Sending prayers and condolences to the victims, families, and friends who were lost and grieving their lost loved ones.
Great tragedy so sad 💔 for the families RIP 19 souls lost.
A FAULTY SPACE HEATER!! Never should have happened obviously that person was very cold.
We are all human beings no matter what our income is...
LANDLORDS you need to make sure all your tenants have HEAT...
it is freezing out...
I pray for all the souls that died what a tragic and horrible way to die may they be in the arms of Jesus and the Blessed Mother Mary in heaven💖.
Praying for those that are injured emotionally psychologically and physically for healing .
I pray for all FIREMEN AND WOMAN and all First Responders💖 who had to find the dead bodies who needed to fight this evil fire I pray for your families and for your souls as you grieve this you are our HEROES💖💖💖💖....
Praying for everybody who lives in that building that they find safe comfortable housing💖
the world has gone bonkers.....
every 3 days we have a catastrophe or tragedy in the world that takes people's lives....
Jesus Jesus Jesus we need you now...
I Surrender my life to Jesus💖💖💖
Damn. Sending love to everyone affected ❤️
Horrible I couldn't even imagine especially one of the news articles talking about a mother who lost her whole family.
So sorry for people who lost their lives. They must have gone through terrible pain. RIP and hope you be blessed with another beautiful life.
Rest in peace all the victim.🙏.
Where are the fire escapes...hold these politicians and rich landlords for not making it mandatory
Praying for my city through all struggles and pain 🙏😪
OMG!! How sad! I feel so sorry for those people and their babies caught on 🔥 fire , help those people dear Lord , that on fire , and hospitals , Lord have mercy!!
