NYC apartment fire injures 36, two critically

On Saturday, a fire broke out inside a 37-story skyscraper in Manhattan, resulting in 38 casualties, including two with life-threatening conditions.

The FDNY said that a three-alarm fire broke out on the 20th floor of an apartment building at 429 East 52nd Street at approximately 10:30 a.m.

At least two dozen occupants, according to officials, ran to the roof while others hung out their windows to escape the flames.

A harrowing social media video depicts the moment firemen performed a fast rope rescue on a woman dangling from the structure.

The FDNY’s Deputy Assistant Chief Frank Leeb described the rescue as a last choice.

At least two persons were reported to have had life-threatening injuries, and two more were identified as having suffered severe injuries.

This is an evolving narrative.
