NEW YORK -- At least 10 people, including six firefighters, were hurt Monday in a fast-moving fire that investigators said was suspicious in New York City's Marble Hill. Residents had a hard time escaping the flames, but they are expected to be OK. The fire started just before 2 p.m. at a building on Marble Hill Avenue and West 225th Street.Video shows black smoke was billowing into the air. The conditions forced subways to temporarily bypass a station nearby, but service had resumed.
In the three minutes it took for firefighters to arrive, neighbors took it upon themselves to rescue some trapped families, including a woman who said she ran through flames to help a man and his baby climb down the fire escape. 'I saw the fire in the middle and I kept running in the back, and I helped a man bring his kid and his family down the stairs. It was maybe four or five people in the back, a lady in the front.
