A spectacular top-floor blaze in The Bronx yesterday morning force dozens of people to flee their homes.
Flames ripped through two apartments on the sixth floor and one on the fifth floor of the building on Cedar Avenue near Landing Road.
Metropolitan Opera soloist Andrey Namzer, 30, evacuated the building after he said he looked out his window and saw shadows of smoke. “I heard glass being smashed and falling to the ground,” he said.
None of the building’s residents were injured, but six firefighters were treated for minor burns.
