"When first responders arrived at 207 Dyckman St. at around 12:30 a.m., residents were already trying to flee the six-story building via the fire escape. This fire was a very serious fire. It unfortunately resulted in many patients."
"We ended up having a total of 14 patients, one of them being a firefighter, who is stable. We had three deceased. We had five critical patients transported to area hospitals, and we had four other non-life-threatening injuries."
"The blaze emanated from the hallway on the first floor and swiftly traveled up the stairway where the flames and smoke reached some eight apartments. The apartments that had the doors closed had very little impact to no fire."
"Close the door is an important message we need everybody to understand. I know it's a scary situation in a fire."
A fast-moving fire in Inwood, Manhattan, resulted in three fatalities and 11 injuries, including a firefighter. The fire started in the hallway and spread rapidly due to open doors. Fire Commissioner Lillian Bonsignore emphasized the importance of closing doors during a fire, as those that remained closed experienced minimal damage. A total of 14 patients were treated, with five in critical condition. Approximately 100 residents were displaced due to the incident, which occurred early on May 4.
