Summary

  • One person is dead and at least 14 others were injured after an explosion tore through a Bronx apartment building Wednesday, blowing doors off their hinges and sparking a five-alarm fire and partial collapse, FDNY said.
  • The blast struck the building at 374 East 209th Street, where crews arrived within about three minutes of the reported explosion around 12:26 p.m. and found heavy fire pouring from many windows, according to the FDNY. The response grew to more than 300 fire and EMS personnel battling difficult conditions on a hot, humid day.
  • Fire officials said the explosion on the second floor blew out windows and knocked apartment doors off their hinges, allowing the fire to spread quickly up the stairs and into open units. As the fire extended across three floors, a collapse from the third floor into the second forced crews to withdraw from the building.
  • FDNY said the patient count rose to 15, including one person found dead. Among the injured, two civilians are in critical condition and two others were seriously hurt, while four suffered minor injuries. Three firefighters were seriously hurt, and three others sustained minor injuries. FDNY credited firefighters and EMS with rescuing trapped residents and providing life-saving treatment on scene, saying the response saved multiple lives.
  • Eighteen residents have been displaced, and the American Red Cross is assisting. The fire was not under control as of the afternoon briefing, and crews are expected to remain overnight. The cause of the explosion has not been determined.
  • A Wednesday afternoon news conference from the FDNY's YouTube channel has been posted by Citizen.

FDNY reported 11 patientsβ€”seven civilians and four firefighters. Three are in serious condition: two adults described as critical and one child who was up-triaged.

The fire spread across three floors, and a collapse from the third floor into the second prompted fire officials to pull crews out of the building, according to FDNY.

Fire officials said the explosion on the second floor blew out windows and knocked apartment doors off their hinges, letting the fire spread rapidly from the origin apartment up the stairs and into units left openβ€”making it difficult to contain.

Per officials, FDNY crews responded within about three minutes of a reported explosion at the Bronx building around 12:26 p.m. and found heavy fire blowing out of many windows, according to FDNY. The blaze grew to five alarms, drawing more than 300 fire and EMS personnel on a hot, humid day.

Eighteen people have been displaced, and the American Red Cross is on scene assisting, FDNY said. The fire was not yet under control as of the briefing, and crews expect to remain overnight.

FDNY reported 11 patientsβ€”seven civilians and four firefighters. Three are in serious condition: two adults described as critical and one child who was up-triaged.

The fire spread across three floors, and a collapse from the third floor into the second prompted fire officials to pull crews out of the building, according to FDNY.

FDNY said firefighters rescued multiple people trapped in the building and EMS crews administered life-saving treatment on scene, crediting the response with saving several lives.

Fire officials said the explosion on the second floor blew out windows and knocked apartment doors off their hinges, letting the fire spread rapidly from the origin apartment up the stairs and into units left openβ€”making it difficult to contain.

Per officials, FDNY crews responded within about three minutes of a reported explosion at the Bronx building around 12:26 p.m. and found heavy fire blowing out of many windows, according to FDNY. The blaze grew to five alarms, drawing more than 300 fire and EMS personnel on a hot, humid day.
