A two-alarm fire broke out around 7:45 AM on Wednesday in a six-story apartment building at the intersection of Montgomery Avenue and West 175th Street in Morris Heights, Bronx. The blaze quickly spread across multiple apartments and up into the cockloft space above the top floor. One person died at the scene, while another 31-year-old man sustained injuries after jumping from a fourth-floor window to escape the flames. In total, 10 people were injured in this incident. Firefighters faced challenging conditions as heavy smoke filled the hallways and flames engulfed apartment doors. The critically injured jumper was taken to Jacobi Medical Center, where he is listed in critical but stable condition.
