At least one person died and nine others were injured, including firefighters, in a Bronx fire Tuesday morning that spread to various multi-family homes, fire officials said.
The FDNY responded to the fire on Valentine Avenue in the Fordham section of the Bronx shortly after 9 a.m.
Firefighters said that when units arrived at the scene four minutes later, they found heavy smoke in the rear of the building. High winds contributed to the spread of the fire to the adjoining buildings. Citizen App video showed the flames shooting up from the row of homes. At one point, the fire reached four alarms, according to officials.
