NYC's Bronx fire tragedy: Archbishop visits scene of horror, officials share ways public can help victims

The Archbishop of New York visited the site of Sunday’s devastating fire in the Bronx, where 17 people – including eight children – died and dozens more were injured, as officials offer ways for the public to help impacted families. 

"It doesn't get worse than what we witnessed in New York yesterday at that tragic fire in the Bronx," Dolan wrote, alongside a photograph of the archbishop at the site. "Thank God for the @FDNY."

Seventeen people died – nine adults and eight children – when the fire broke out at a 19-story building at 333 East 181st St. in the Fordham Heights neighborhood of the Bronx, officials said Monday. About 200 firefighters responded and more than 60 people were hurt, authorities said.
