周一晚间,奇科皮一栋公寓楼内发现一名成年人死亡,另有五名住户暂时无家可归。消防员将火势控制在爱德华·J·伯里公寓的一套公寓内,但搜寻、疏散和调查使紧急处置范围超出了该单元。1 12

这一发现并不能证明火灾导致了此人死亡。官员表示,死因和死亡方式将由尸检确定。火灾如何发生也仍在调查中——这两个悬而未决的问题是应对10月19日火灾的核心。1

关键事实

  1. 1搜寻过程中发现一名成年人死亡 112
  2. 5其他住户流离失所 12
  3. 1套公寓火势局限于起火单元 112

救援人员于东部夏令时晚上约7:35赶到本诺瓦圆环的公共住房社区。《西马萨诸塞新闻》报道称,烟雾和火焰从大楼后部冒出。NBC波士顿援引州和地方消防官员的话报道称,消防员进入大楼搜寻人员,并在搜寻过程中发现一名成年人死亡。12 1

到场时间为约数:《西马萨诸塞新闻》称时间为晚上约7:35,而NBC波士顿称消防员在该时间之后抵达。两篇报道都无法确定火灾何时开始,也无法确定救援人员抵达前火势已燃烧了多久。12 1

现有报道中,官员尚未公布此人的身份。报道仅将其描述为一名成年人;没有进一步确定其年龄,也没有说明导致其死亡的具体情况。在尸检尚未完成时,这些限制尤为重要。1 12

火势受控,但住房受到影响

两家媒体均报道称,火灾局限于起火的那套公寓。这描述的是火焰蔓延范围,并非对整栋大楼状况的全面评估。报道没有详述相邻公寓是否有烟熏或其他损坏,没有提供损失估算,也没有确认伤者人数。1 12

对于另外五名流离失所的住户而言,火势受控并不意味着他们能立即回家。《西马萨诸塞新闻》给出了五人的人数,并报道称红十字会正在为他们提供援助。NBC波士顿也报道称红十字会提供了帮助,并将这次流离失所描述为暂时性的,但没有说明人数。12 1

两篇报道都没有公布返家时间,也都没有说明向各户提供了哪些援助。报道所称的“暂时”是对住户流离失所状况的描述,并非他们何时可以安全返回的时间表。因此,尽管火势已被控制,住户眼下面临的住房问题仍未解决。1 12

这起紧急事件还影响了周边社区。警方封闭了东缅因街玫瑰街至阳光街之间的路段,并要求驾驶员绕行,同时工作人员在公寓楼内作业。12

周一晚上10点,《西马萨诸塞新闻》报道称,现场仍在处置,包括一辆法医验尸官的厢式车。这表明该公寓楼的紧急处置持续到了晚间较晚时候;但这并不能确定道路封闭之后持续了多久,也不能确定大楼何时解除封锁。12

两项调查,结论均未确定

据NBC波士顿报道,马萨诸塞州警调查人员以及奇科皮消防和警方官员正在调查。现有报道除指出起火公寓外,没有公布火灾起因方面的调查结果,也没有解释是什么引燃了火势。1

事故详情来自两篇转述官员调查结果的当地新闻报道。目前无法独立取得消防或警方直接发布的、针对这起事故的声明。因此,证据最充分的说法仍然有限:搜寻过程中发现一名成年人死亡,火势得到控制,其他住户需要紧急援助。1 12

接下来需要得到的实质性答案包括尸检结果、火灾起因的解释,以及流离失所的住户何时能够返回。在这些问题确定之前,不应把火势受控误认为紧急事件已经解决,也不应把发现遗体当作死因已定。

播出原貌 10 行
  1. Firefighters found an adult dead while searching a burning apartment building.
  2. The flames stayed within one apartment, but five other residents were displaced and needed Red Cross help. Investigators still have to determine how the fire began and what caused the person's death.
  3. The fire struck the Edward J. Bury Apartments, a public housing complex on Benoit Circle in Chicopee, Massachusetts, Monday night. Firefighters arrived to find smoke and flames coming from the back of the building.
  4. One adult was found dead inside during the search. Officials haven't released the person's identity. An autopsy will determine the cause and manner of death, including whether the fire caused it.
  5. Firefighters went inside to look for people. They contained the fire to the apartment where it began, limiting the spread of the flames. Other households in the building still had to leave their homes.
  6. Firefighters responded at about seven thirty-five Monday evening. By ten that night, an active emergency scene remained at the building, including a medical examiner's van. The response continued well into the evening.
  7. Containing the flames to one unit still left residents facing disruption. Officials haven't detailed the extent of smoke or other damage elsewhere in the building.
  8. Five other residents were displaced and were receiving assistance from the Red Cross. Their displacement was described as temporary. For those residents, the immediate question is when their homes will be safe to enter again.
  9. Police closed East Main Street between Rose Street and Sunnyside Street during the response and asked drivers to use alternate routes. That closure affected the surrounding neighborhood while emergency crews worked at the apartment building.
  10. Massachusetts State Police investigators and Chicopee fire and police officials are investigating. They haven't announced what started the fire. No time has been announced for the five displaced residents to return home.
