Flames rip through Melrose home leaving 2 hurt, 1 seriously injured

That's right. Well, certainly a terrifying scene for many neighbors here as they watch the top floor of this Melrose home here in the Bronx completely engulfed in flames. Now I want to step to the side to give you a closer look where you could see the top floor of this home now completely charred as the windows have been shattered. And just inside you can even see some of the wood completely damaged now that this is all as police tell us three people were hurt, including a 43 year old woman who remains in critical condition. Now take a look here. This is Exclusive video on your screen of the frightening moments where you can see flames ripping through that second floor window as smoke billowed into the air. Now, shortly after, firefighters are seen rushing inside this East 154th Street home. A total of 79 emergency crews battled the blaze that started just before 1 a.m. Police tell us three people were rushed to local hospitals, including two boys for smoke inhalation. Their age is 12 and 17 years old. Police say they are now stable. The third victim, in the meantime, a 43-year-old woman, remains critical. Now, one neighbor says a family of seven lived inside that home. He spoke with one of those members and detailed their heartbreak. He was very traumatized. He really didn't want to speak much. He started crying. His wife, like I said, she's in the hospital. The grandkids are in the hospital as well. And earlier we did see the department of buildings here on site. We have reached out to learn the extent of the damage here, which we are waiting to hear back. In the meantime, the FDNY tells us they're still investigating what sparked this fire. That's the latest here in Melrose. Jonathan Calixto, News 12.
