At least 11 injured, 2 critically, in out-of-control Bronx apartment fire Wednesday, August 5, 2026 8:23PM Authorities hold an update on an apartment fire in the Bronx. NORWOOD, Bronx (WABC) -- FDNY crews are battling a large fire at an apartment building in the Norwood section of the Bronx that has injured at least 11 people.
The fire was reported on the second floor of a building at 374 East 209th St. shortly after noon. It reached 5 alarms just before 2 p.m.
Two civilians are listed in critical condition and three firefighters are among the others injured.
Of those critically injured, a 48-year-old woman was rushed to Jacobi hospital.
Residents nearby say they heard a big boom and that it felt like an earthquake.
The man who lives right next door to the unit says the explosion caused his ceiling to collapse on him.
He helped the woman who lives there get to safety, but when he went inside her apartment, he says her kitchen was up in flames.
There is no word on what sparked the fire, but the initial call came in as an explosion, though authorities have not confirmed that.
This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
