BREAKING: Massive Fire Engulfs Nursing Home In New York, Building Collapses

A massive fire engulfed a nursing home facility in New York during the early morning hours on Tuesday and video posted online showed that the building had at least partially collapsed.

“One firefighter is missing and residents are unaccounted for in a fire at a residential senior center in New York City’s northern suburbs,” CNN reported. “It wasn’t immediately clear how many residents couldn’t be located amid the blaze in Spring Valley, Trooper Steven Nevel of New York State Police’s Troop F said around 4 a.m. ET.”

“Numerous injuries from both firefighters and residents were reported,” a Spring Valley police department spokesperson said. “Victims were taken to surrounding hospitals.”

Spring Valley resident Hershey Green told WCBS that people “literally ran in and helped out with the seniors.”

“There was plenty of just good Samaritans out here, about eight of them that literally ran into the building and bring them out in the wheelchairs, walkers, and literally picking them up and physically removing them out of the danger,” Green continued. “They were speechless. It was really traumatic to see that. Watching their facility, their home going down in flames was something really traumatic.”
