Chief William Oehm of Battalion 18, who stated, "I think we were here in three minutes," discounting reports from residents that fire trucks passed the street, and once at the fire they were delayed as much as 20-minutes.
Chief Oehm admitted that one dead fire hydrant on the block, "might have delayed us slightly," but added, "It was just such a high volume of fire."
Witness Haley Terrell fumed, "You had the entire block out here
screaming at them to help... they could have save those people."
The Red Cross was providing shelter for the two-dozen or so residents who were displaced by the fire.

BRONX, NEW YORK, January 16- Residents living in and around the Bronx can be screened to reduce their risk of having a stroke or bone fracture. Knights of Columbus will host Life Line Screening on January 28. The site is located at 3243 Ampere Avenue in Bronx.

Stroke is the third leading cause of death and a leading cause of permanent disability.
Eighty percent of stroke victims had no apparent warning signs prior to their stroke.
Preventive ultrasound screenings can help you avoid a stroke
Screenings are fast, noninvasive, painless, affordable and convenient.
Screenings identify potential cardiovascular conditions such as blocked arteries and irregular heart rhythm, abdominal aortic aneurysms, and hardening of the arteries in the legs, which is a strong predictor of heart disease.
