A tragic fire in a Queens home resulted in three deaths and multiple injuries, exacerbated by dangerous conditions such as blocked exits and a lack of working smoke detectors. Fire officials reported overcrowding, makeshift walls, and the use of extension cords, which could have contributed to the blaze. Despite firefighters arriving quickly, the fire spread rapidly, leading to desperate attempts to escape. Officials urged New Yorkers to install smoke detectors and emphasized the landlord's negligence as a critical factor in the tragedy.
We are not encouraging, we're begging all New Yorkers to have a working smoke alarm in their home, and, you know, if possible a CO2 detector as well.
Part of this, it's because of the negligence of the landlord.
