FDNY Investigates Deadly Fires in The Bronx and Brooklyn, Resulting in Multiple Fatalities
Two separate fires in New York City are under investigation after resulting in multiple fatalities. The first incident occurred in a three-story mixed-use building on Nostrand Avenue in Flatbush, Brooklyn, where an 86-year-old woman and a 65-year-old man were found unconscious and later pronounced dead. Neighbors reported being awakened by the sound of yelling and saw flames just feet away from their homes. The second fire took place in a six-story apartment building in Morris Heights, The Bronx, where a 51-year-old man was killed, and two women in their 60s were hospitalized. This fire was discovered after police responded to a domestic assault report at the location. Fire marshals are investigating both incidents, and a partial vacate order has been issued for the affected buildings, with the Red Cross providing temporary housing for displaced families.
