On January 9th of 2022 a massive fire turned an apartment building in the Bronx (a borough of New York City) into a fiery tinder box of tragedy. It was an unthinkable event that took the lives of many people and that has displaced many others.

The apartment building, named the “Twin Parks North West” and located at 333 East 181st Street in Fordham was an apartment complex that housed many individuals and families. This tragic apartment building fire cost 17 people, including some who were innocent children, their lives.

The apartment fire that destroyed the Bronx residential building began at about 10:54 a.m. and have left many struggling in the aftermath of the tragedy. If you were injured or you lost a loved one, you may suddenly find yourself struggling to cope with medical bills, missed work, and homelessness.

For the many surviving injured victims and the loved ones of the deceased, this is also the beginning of a frustrating fight to recover from your physical, financial, and emotional losses.
