Charred clothing, broken windows and damaged walls are the aftermath neighbors were dealing with on Friday after the fire.<\/p>\n
The flames started on the first floor and spread to the second floor. <\/p>\n
“This is like the second fire within a two-month span. Very traumatizing. Very stressful,” said a tenant on the second floor, Unique Holmes. <\/p>\n
A previous fire at the same location on Dec. 17 left a15-month-old baby injured and several apartments damaged. <\/p>\n
The Department of Buildings issued a vacate order for six apartments on the “K” line section of the building as a result of fire damage. <\/p>\n
Tenants still living in the building were left concerned and afraid for their safety. <\/p>\n
“I think it’s not safe for us to live here. They have to do something to help us to get a place to relocate,” said a tenant on the fifth floor.<\/p>\n
“It’s so scary. Who wants to be here now? People are talking about relocating because they’re afraid of what’s going to happen next,” said another tenant.<\/p>\n
The fire department confirmed to News 12 that there were no injuries reported.<\/p>\n
The American Red Cross provided emergency relocation assistance to 13 people. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Charred clothing, broken windows and damaged walls are the aftermath neighbors were dealing with on Friday after the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":125983,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[9377,128,543,545,17939,544,542,9,24,63,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-125982","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-apartment-fire","tag-bronx","tag-building-fire","tag-fire","tag-fire-alarm","tag-fires","tag-highbridge","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125982","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=125982"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125982\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/125983"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
