BRONX EXPLOSION: At least 11 people injured as fire consumes apartment building

An explosion and fire at a Bronx apartment building on August 5 injured at least 11 people, including three critically injured civilians and three firefighters. The fire, which began on the second floor, became a five-alarm blaze, and initial reports suggest a lithium-ion battery may have caused it. A woman was arrested after a scuffle with police when denied entry to rescue her pets.
