1 dead in gas explosion fire at Bronx NYCHA complex, 150 displaced | News 12

Описание: A gas explosion sparked a four-alarm fire at a NYCHA building on Bivona Street in Eastchester, forcing more than 150 residents out of their homes in near single-digit temperatures, just one day before a winter storm. FDNY says crews were responding to reports of a strong gas odor just after midnight when an explosion occurred. Smoke and flames quickly spread through the building, reaching the 15th, 16th,and 17th floors. Residents were evacuated into the freezing cold as firefighters battled intense flames. Water used to extinguish the fire rapidly froze, leaving sheets of ice on the ground and along the building. The FDNY says 15 people, including a firefighter, were taken to hospitals. One person died, and another remains in critical condition.
