Firefighters were met by"very heavy smoke, very heavy fire" in the hallways.FDNY responded to a 5-alarm fire in the Bronx on Sunday.Victims were found in stairways on every floor of the building, many in cardiac arrest, in what Nigro said could be an unprecedented loss of life. The injuries were predominantly from smoke inhalation, he said.The FDNY posted several images of the scene showing ladders extending into apartment windows as well as a number of broken windows.
