YONKERS: Flames and smoke engulfed the building on Parkview Avenue Tuesday evening
A massive blaze chewed through an apartment building in Yonkers, New York, on Tuesday, destroying the building as it burned for hours, leaving dozens of families homeless and choking the neighborhood in a plume of black smoke as firefighters worked into the next day to get it under control.
No injuries were reported in the blaze on Parkview Avenue that started around 6 p.m., but witnesses described the fire as an “inferno,” “thick” and eye-burning as tenants recount the uncertainty in their futures.
“The sky was all lit up, it was like an inferno,” witness Nancy Herran said as she wore a face-protecting mask. “I can’t believe how bad it got so fast. You can’t take a full breath and your eyes are burning.”
Other neighbors could only watch and pray as the fire ripped apart the building.
“God bless the firemen,” Christine Magrin said. “You really realize how talented and brave they are.”
Another witness who lives across the courtyard from the burning building said she can’t get the sight of the raging flames out of her mind.
“I looked out the kitchen window and I could see the smoke coming out from the top of the building,” Barbara Handley said. “Then I looked and flames like you never saw. Flames just coming up out of the windows of people’s apartments.”.
The Red Cross is helping 150 families who were left homeless in the building and neighboring buildings overcome by smoke. A temporary shelter was setup at nearby Roosevelt High School.
“I saw smoke coming out of the roof and the firemen were coming,”
Irene Lewis, who lives on the second floor in the burned-out building, said.
“I ran into my apartment and I came to help my friend get her cats. I’ve been out on the streets ever since.”…..

WPIX TV: Nearly 150 families displaced after Yonkers apartment building fire
YONKERS, NY — Nearly 150 families were displaced by a huge blaze at a Yonkers apartment building Tuesday night.
The fire, which started at about 6:15 p.m., raged for hours at 15 Parkview Ave. as firefighters tried to get it under control.
Scores of residents were quickly and safely evacuated. The view captured by AIR11 flames engulfing the upper floors and shooting toward the sky. Thick, acrid smoke permeated the air for blocks near the building.
The fire started in the west side of the building, but since firefighters didn’t have access to the cockloft area, the fire quickly spread to the east side.
Officials say there were no access points for water, making it hard to contain.
Firefighters from several nearby towns sped to the scene to help battle the blaze. At one point the fire was so intense that firefighters were pulled out of the building to battle the flames from the outside.
Firefighters still continued to hit hot spots that flared up overnight. As to what started the fire, investigators are still trying to figure out.
“There are some unconfirmed reports that some handiwork going on in one of the apartments… maybe some plumbers torching,” Yonkers Fire Commissioner Robert Sweeney said…..
