The fire affected two apartments on the 25th floor after flames broke out early Monday morning, March 2.<\/p>\n
FDNY told News 12 the cause of the fire is still under investigation. All five people hurt are expected to be OK after suffering minor injuries.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel sad. It\u2019s my neighbor, it\u2019s my friends \u2014 it\u2019s like a family,\u201d said Malik, a ninth\u2011floor resident.<\/p>\n
The Department of Buildings told News 12 that heat from the flames melted the railings on the balconies of the impacted apartments.<\/p>\n
Community members said the destructive aftermath caused elevator problems, with only one elevator working and creating long delays.<\/p>\n
\u201cI waited 20 minutes and nothing,\u201d Malik said.<\/p>\n
DOB also told News 12 it has not received any reports of damaged elevators. Partial vacate orders were issued for the tenants of the two affected apartments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The fire affected two apartments on the 25th floor after flames broke out early Monday morning, March 2.…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":631446,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,10172,21884,44037,5025,4216,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":["post-631445","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-america","tag-apartment-fire","tag-building-fire","tag-co-op-city","tag-fire","tag-fires","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-newyork","tag-newyorkcity","tag-ny","tag-nyc","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116170599092465528","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/631445","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=631445"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/631445\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/631446"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=631445"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=631445"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=631445"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
