At least 19 people are dead and many injured at a New York public housing high-rise. Apparently the fire itself was confined to one unit, but smoke and fumes filled the building.

This raises again the question of whether in a situation like this you should try to seal yourself in your apartment or make a run for it. At Grenfell people died after they were told to shelter in place, but in this building the danger was apparently smoke, not fire.

At least 19 people are dead, including nine children, after the city’s deadliest fire in more than 30 years tore through a Bronx apartment building Sunday morning, according to a police official. The five-alarm blaze broke out just before 11 a.m. at 333 E 181st St, a 19-story building in the Tremont section of the Bronx, the FDNY said, and was knocked down about an hour later. “There were bodies being carried off every floor,” a firefighter told the Post. “It was the worst fire I saw in 30 years.” |
