Though smoke and carbon-monoxide alarms had been recently tested, but family members said the mother who perished often disconnected the alarm while she was cooking.
A New York City family that moved from one borough to another because of a fire, perished in an apartment fire overnight Tuesday. Six people, including two adults and four children ages 3 to 11, died during a fire in their fifth-floor apartment in Queens.
Fire Commissioner Daniel A. Nigro said firefighters found the six people unconscious at the back of the apartment in bedrooms. Neighbors identified the family as 45-year-old Andrea Pollidore and her four children: Nakyra, 11; Andre, 8, Brook-Lynn, 6 and Elijah, 3. The sixth victim was identified as Pollidore’s brother, 32-year-old Matt Abdularaph.
“They were unable to get to either the door of that apartment or the windows that were on the fire escape,” he said.
