A four-alarm fire in the Bronx late Thursday killed at least 12 people and injured several more, authorities said.
The dead included a child of around a year old, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said at a briefing outside the building. Four more residents were seriously injured and fighting for their lives, he said.
Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro called the fire, “historic in its magnitude.”
More than 170 New York City firefighters responded to the scene of the fire.
