Tragic fire in Bronx, New York

An apartment fire in Bronx, New York, was the deadliest in twenty five years. This was a four alarm fire. The fire started on the first floor of a five floor apartment building. There was over 160 fire fighters at the scene fighting the blaze. It caused 12 deaths. Four of these deaths were children. This count may go up because four injured are in the hospital and not every room in building has been searched.

Please pray for the victims, their families, and their friends. If you do not pray, please keep them in your positive thoughts.
