Devastation.
By Carol Tannenhauser
A cat died in a fire at the Ruxton Towers, a 17-story, prewar apartment building at 50 West 72nd Street, at around 1:40 a.m., on Tuesday. There were no other injuries. The cat’s owner had been admitted to the hospital on Monday for an unrelated illness. The FDNY gave no reason for the fire, which occurred on the eighth floor and was “very smoky,” a tenant said. Seventy-eight FDNY and EMS personnel responded, and the fire was under control by 2:47 a.m., according to an FDNY spokesperson. Another tenant provided an eyewitness account.
The alarm and the smell of smoke woke most people up. As I was walking down the stairs I passed the firemen headed upstairs with hoses. People seemed nervous but for the most part remained calm. Once outside people were mostly checking to see that their friends and neighbors were safe and accounted for. Maybe 100 or so people and pets were outside. Everyone seemed to be in good spirits considering.”
