The fire actually happened at the Masaryk Towers, not the Baruch Houses, as we reported earlier. A woman was being treated inside a Beth Israel ambulance, most likely from smoke inhalation.
Residents sitting on a bench outside the apartment complex said they smelled smoke at about 7am. The fire apparently started in a 7th floor unit.
Maintenance workers are now trying to pump out a whole lot of water that collected in the building’s entryway.
