- just one week after another huge blaze in the NYC borough killed 17

 

One person is dead and at least seven people were injured - including three police officers - when a three-story home collapsed in a gas explosion fire in the Bronx on Tuesday morning - just one week after another massive blaze killed 17 people in Bronx apartment building three miles away.

More than 100 firefighters and EMS personnel responded to reports of a gas explosion and two-alarm fire on Intervale Avenue in the Longwood section of the Bronx in New York City, at around 11am.

Crews were seen desperately trying to get the blaze under control before the three-story home collapsed.

One person has died in the fire, according to New York 1 News, with the New York Police Department saying an 82-year-old woman was pronounced dead at Lincoln Hospital.

Additionally, New York 1 reports, a 77-year-old is in critical condition and a 68 year old female was transported to Lincoln Hospital with smoke inhalation. 

At least nine people have been injured in the fire, including five police officers, and eight were taken to the hospital. CBS 2 News reports that at least one of the injuries is serious.

The NYPD also reports that five officers are being treated for smoke inhalation. 

One person remained unaccounted for Tuesday afternoon, but officials believe that individual may have been on vacation and are now trying to track them down. 

Newly-installed Mayor Eric Adams is expected to hold a press briefing about the fire at 2.45pm.
