NEW YORK (1010 WINS) \u2014 An apartment fire in the Bronx on Monday left a 1-year-old boy dead, two other young children in critical condition and at least four others injured, according to the FDNY.<\/p>\n
The blaze broke out just before 3:40 p.m. at 2609 Bainbridge Ave., a six-story dwelling between East 193rd and 194th streets in the Fordham section.<\/p>\n
The 1-year-old boy who died was found inside the second-floor apartment where officials said the fire broke out, alongside two 6-year-old children who are in critical condition. Authorities said that the boy was pronounced dead at St. Barnabas Hospital.<\/p>\n
Two other civilians were injured, including one who was in serious condition and taken to a local hospital, and another who suffered minor injuries and refused medical attention, the FDNY said. Three firefighters sustained minor injuries and were transported to an area hospital.<\/p>\n
According to Assistant Fire Chief Malcolm Moore, like in other recent deadly fires, the door to the fire apartment was left open, exasperating the effects of the flames.<\/p>\n
“The minute you close that door, you give everyone else in that building the opportunity to flee,” Moore said.<\/p>\n
The blaze was under control about an hour after it broke out, and the cause is under investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW YORK (1010 WINS) \u2014 An apartment fire in the Bronx on Monday left a 1-year-old boy dead,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":227915,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[128,98,100,99,15341,194,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-227914","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-bronx","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-child-death","tag-fdny","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227914","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=227914"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227914\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/227915"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=227914"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=227914"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=227914"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
