Bronx
Fire Ravages Row of Buildings
A
row of houses in the Bronx were ravaged by fire on Friday, forcing
around 20 people from their homes. "I saw the fire it was scary

video taken by a neighbor shows how strong winds fanned the flames and

p.m. Friday, Williams ran outside and was on the street yelling for
help. "I said come quickly come quickly it's blazing." Click
