A fire in a Bronx apartment building, apparently caused by faulty Christmas lights, left a man fighting for his life last night, authorities said.

Eleven firefighters and 13 civilians suffered minor injuries in the blaze at 2334 Boston Post Road.

The critically injured victim, a 58-year-old man, was found in cardiac arrest in the eighth-floor hallway. Neighbors said firefighters told them that lights on a tree were to blame for the 6:20 p.m. blaze
