One lady died at the hospital it was just reported by news 12 the Bronx. According to the neighbors in 3211 park the fire started in the 2nd floor at 3 am and they were heard arguing for one hour. It seemed as if they were trying to put it out themselves and arguing about who started it. They were seen taking out luggage out the apartment instead of alarming their neighbors and the fire department. This make me feel sooooo scared because I live in the building right next door. It make me feel like my neighbors don’t have my back. These folks need to go through some training of how to follow a proper protocol during a fire or just how to care for others. I don’t know how else to write this without feeling upset.
@curtbabygitl when I said they were heard arguing about “who started it “ it could have been one of them forgot to turn the stove off. So they were heard screaming “you did it, no you did it “ I am sorry if I typed that without elaborating on it.
Hope all tenants, firefighters and pets are safe.
