Four people are dead after a fire tore through the top floor of a Bronx apartment building Tuesday night, according to the NYPD.
The fire on the sixth floor broke out around 7:40 p.m. at a building on Grand Concourse near Sheridan Avenue in the Claremont section of the Bronx.
The women were pronounced dead at a local hospital. Their identities were not confirmed Tuesday night.
They lived in the two apartments next to the one where the fire started, authorities say.
One other person suffered minor injuries, according to the city fire department.
The Red Cross is providing housing and financial assistance to 33 families in the building.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
