The Sunday morning fire at the Harmon Shepard Hill apartments in Plainview prompted a massive response from firefighters around 5 a.m.

A fire that ripped through a senior housing complex on Long Island is now responsible for two deaths after a second woman succumbed to her injuries hours after the Sunday inferno.

The fire, roaring amid freezing condition with several inches of snow still on the ground, forced vulnerable seniors to hop out of bed and rush from their rooms. Nibia Cipriano knew the two women who died. She says neither walked very well, but as neighbors across the hall, they looked out for one another.Two others seniors breathed in too much smoke and had to be treated at the hospital. Neither was seriously hurt.

But right as residents like Intindoli were preparing to go to bed, Plainview firefighters returned to the charred building to put out hotspots.
