NEW YORK — A 73-year-old woman was killed and eight residents were injured when a massive fire tore through their Bronx home Tuesday, New York Fire Department officials said.
The blaze broke out just after 9 a.m. inside the two-story home on Valentine Avenue near E. 182nd Street in Fordham Heights — just around the corner from Twin Parks North West, where 17 people died, including eight children, in a January blaze.
Tuesday’s blaze quickly spread to two adjoining buildings, said neighbor Mariel Diaz, who raced out of her home with her 65-year-old mother when they saw the smoke.
