Breaking overnight: 1 dead, at least 1 critically injured in fire at an apartment complex in Yonkers. ZinniaDee_TV reports.
At 5 a.m., flames were still shooting out of the roof of the seven story apartment complex. The fire had grown to four alarms. Video taken from a nearby balcony shows the fire when it first broke out.
Yonkers Police confirm one person has died and another was taken to the hospital in extremely critical condition. Other people have been injured as well, and were taken to nearby hospitals. "We have every company in the city fighting this fire. We also have additional companies that are here from places like Eastchester, New Rochelle, I believe Mount Vernon are all here assisting us in this fight. This is a very difficult building to fight, it's kind of an odd shape. It's 95 families. As you can see, almost impossible to fight from this street, and we're fighting it from this street, and the other side," said Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano.
