According to fire officials, the blaze started accidentally after a space heater was left running too close to clothing and other combustible materials.
According to an article by the Associated Press, one of the victims was identified as a monk of the temple, who had existing health problems. The fire damaged the small temple, located inside a white, two-story townhouse, and a residence for monks in a home next door.
FDNY officials said that two people died in the fire. The first victim was pronounced dead at the scene, and the second victim was pronounced after being taken to the hospital. The victims were found in a building next to the one that had the temple. Fire marshals are investigating the cause of the fire and whether smoke alarms were installed or functioning. Firefighters were hampered in their efforts by a car that was blocking a fire hydrant. The Red Cross is also on hand to help five people who have been displaced.
Firefighters have brought the third alarm fire in the Bronx under control, reducing the immediate threat.
EMS confirms two patients: one in critical condition and one deceased. Fire operations continue with moderate potential risk.
Firefighters update that the fire spread to the two buildings immediately adjacent to the temple.
