"The FDNY took on a five-alarm fire that tore through a Bronx building on Thursday night. At around 10:30 p.m. on Dec. 18, FDNY units responded to a call regarding a five-alarm fire at 855 Prospect Ave., which is located in a row of commercial buildings. The fire had started to extend to the nearby buildings. Units arrived in less than four minutes."
"As many as four tower ladders were set up and three exterior house lines were used by fire personnel. As of 1:30 a.m., heavy smoke was still pushing from one of the buildings. The smoke was drifting into my building as I was leaving. I came outside, and the sky was orange. This is not normal, Bronx resident Grace Rivera told amNewYork."
On Dec. 18 at about 10:30 p.m., a five-alarm fire broke out at 855 Prospect Ave., a row of commercial buildings in the Bronx. FDNY units arrived in under four minutes and found fire at a commercial establishment extending to adjacent stores, with fire on the roof of a six-story multiple dwelling and extension to the second floor. The multiple dwelling was entirely evacuated and those fire extensions were quickly contained. Firefighters deployed up to four tower ladders and three exterior house lines and operated defensively as heavy fire consumed multiple buildings. Heavy smoke persisted past 1:30 a.m., one resident received minor treatment, and the cause is under investigation.
