A house fire in the Bronx killed a 50-year-old man and injured eight others, including six firefighters early Monday morning, officials said.
The blaze at 2819 Decatur, started at about 1:37 a.m. and 60 firefighters responded to it. The victim was found dead in a bedroom of the house. He remained unidentified, said Firefighter Paul Iannizzotto, a fire department spokesman.
Two civilians at the home were being treated for smoke inhalation. The firefighters suffered minor injuries. All of the injured were taken to Jacobi Medical Center.
The home is a three-story residence in the East Tremont section near Fordham University and Bronx Park.
The cause of the fire was unclear and is under investigation. Iannizzotto said officials do not believe it was a suspicious fire.
