One person was killed and 15 other people were hurt after a high-rise fire in the Bronx. Citizen App video from a wider angle showed the top floors of the building as they turned into an inferno. The fire broke out early Saturday at 12:19 a.m. on Bivonia Street between Reeds Mill Lane and Boston Road in Eastchester.

It started on the 15th floor of the Boston Secor Houses. The FDNY was on the scene at the time to investigate a possible gas leak in the building. Officials say work was being done in the building, but only on the facade. The explosion occurred in the building about 15 minutes after emergency officials arrived on the scene.

Several apartments became fully engulfed in flames. Residents were seen in the windows of the building and one man was even spotted dangling with his legs out of the building as he tried to escape the intense heat from the fire. One person was killed, another suffered critical injuries.
