the crown prosecution service has authorised hertfordshire police to charge a metropolitan police officerurs looked on with horror as heavy clouds of smoke engulfed the entire bronx apartment building. he is taking his time. he's got the baby. firefighters were on the scene within minutes. as they battled the initial blaze from a lower level apartment, the rising smoke proved to be deadly. it was just pitch black in my house, in the daytime. they were putting out the fire and all you could see was black smoke in front of the windows, black smoke. later, officials said it was a portable space heater that caused one of the worst fire disasters in new york's history. it started in a malfunctioning electric space heater. that was the cause of the fire. the fire consumed that apartment that was on two floors, and part of the hallway. the door to that apartment, unfortunately, when the residents left, was left open. it did not close by itself. the smoke spread throughout the building, thus the tremendous loss of life and other people fighting for their lives. tragically, a number of children ha
