Four years after a deadly fire tore through the Twin Parks apartment complex in Fordham, neighbors gathered to honor the 17 lives lost — eight of them children — and to reflect on a tragedy that forever changed their community.
The anniversary was marked with moments of silence and prayer at Borough Hall, as residents remembered the chaos and terror of that day.
FDNY leaders previously described the scene as a “battlefield,” calling it one of the deadliest fires New York City has seen in decades.
Survivors tell News 12 that while the pain never fully fades, their faith — and the strength they draw from one another — continues to carry them forward, four years later.
