The five-alarm blaze erupted shortly before 11am on the third floor of a 19-story building at 333 East 181st St in Fordham Heights. Nineteen people are confirmed dead, of whom nine are children, in the worst fire in New York City in 30 years. The fire at the Twin Parks North West complex broke out in a duplex on the second floor and quickly progressed, with an open doorway allowing the smoke to rapidly spread throughout the building.
