    More than 200 firefighters responded to the scene of the five-alarm fire that originated Sunday morning in a duplex apartment on the third floor of a high-rise building, located in the Tremont section of the Bronx, officials said. The residents consisted of a largely Muslim and Gambian population and will be aided by the city with particular consideration to cultural needs, Mayor Adams told ABC News.
    ...
    The 19-story building was built in 1972 and has 120 units, according to city records. The fire began due to a malfunctioning electric space heater in a bedroom, the FDNY said Sunday evening. Smoke alarms were operable, and it remains under investigation how the smoke traveled so far so quickly.
    ...
    The fire has since been put out. Approximately 13 people are in Bronx hospitals with life-threatening injuries. More than 60 people were injured in the fire. A total of 73 people died in New York City fires in all of 2021.

Context: Below expectations December jobs report, in part because employees hesitant to return to work.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

No - There are some things people can do to reduce risk...most importantly, get vaccinated and boosted...but also wear masks, socially distance, wash hands, and not go out when sick. Once taking whatever measures people feel inclined to take, then they just have to accept that there are risks to living, and covid is simply one of them. I work in a hospital and am regularly exposed to increased covid risks. That doesn't entitle me to additional compensation.


Yes - I work in a leadership role on the operations side of a university (think custodial, maintenance, landscaping, utilities, etc). Most of our roles are co...
