NINE people were injured during a two-alarm fire in a Bronx apartment Saturday morning.
The fire broke out in a third-floor apartment of the six-story building on Grand Avenue, near Fordham Road in University Heights just after 6am, according to the FDNY.
None of the injuries were considered life-threatening, fire officials said.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation, the FDNY said.
More than 100 firefighters responded to the blaze.
Just last month a devastating apartment fire in the Bronx left nine adults and eight children, between the ages of two and 12, dead from smoke inhalation.
In addition to the victims that succumbed to smoke inhalation, 35 of the 72 people hurt in the fire suffered life-threatening injuries.
Around 200 firefighters responded to an incident in the Bronx on January 9, 2022.
Residents were seen “jumping from windows” and according to reports, around 19 were treated on the scene, while 33 were transported to the hospital for life-threatening injuries.
