Opinion | The Bronx cannot keep burning

This may not be the Bronx of the 1970s, but the factors that once made fire so prevalent here have not disappeared. The Bronx is burning again.

In just the past year, our borough has had hundreds of serious fires, including several multi-alarm blazes and fatal incidents that have displaced families, injured firefighters, and taken lives. And while Brooklyn and Queens may see more fires overall, the Bronx is where those fires are most dangerous.
