Candles Blamed For Bronx Fire That Injured Dozens

NY 1

Fire officials say candles are to blame for an early-morning fire at a Bronx apartment building that sent two dozen people to the hospital Wednesday.

Flames broke out around 6 a.m. inside a building on Woodycrest Avenue, injuring at least 23 residents and five firefighters.

Two of the victims remain in serious condition.

The building is just up the block from the scene of the deadly fire last year that left ten people dead, including nine children.
