‘Numerous Fatalities' Expected From NYC's Worst Fire Disaster in 30+ Years
Nigro and Adams called Sunday's disaster one of the worst fires in the city in at least three decades. In 1990, the Happy Land fire claimed 87 lives in the Bronx.
Angelo Patri Middle School on Webster Avenue has been opened for any of the residents displaced by the blaze, police announced Sunday afternoon. Video circulating social media show thick smoke billowing out from the lower levels of the building where firefighters appeared to focus their attention. Asked about social media rumors of a resident jumping from the building to reach safety, the commissioner said someone may have slipped when attempting to get onto a fire ladder, but he had not received any reports of a jumper.
Fire marshals are on hand investigating the cause of the fire, but the commissioner said he doesn't believe investigators will deem the source suspicious.
