A year to the day since a fire in the Bronx took the lives of 17 people, including eight children, community members are still coming to terms with the devastating loss of life, according to Bronx Rep. Ritchie Torres.

“Look, the community continues to struggle with post-traumatic stress for what was the deadliest fire in more than 30 years,” Torres told “Morning on 1” anchors Jamie Stelter and Shannan Ferry Monday morning. “Unfortunately, the Bronx is no stranger to deadly fires. In the past 30 years, the four deadliest fires in New York City have all been in the Bronx.”

Torres last year introduced legislation aimed at enhancing investigations into major fires. He says the bill is a step forward, but much more needs to be done.

“I passed the United States Fire Administration Act, which would establish for the first time a federal process for investigating the deadliest fires in the country — just like there's a process for investigating airplane incidents and cyber incidents,” Torres said. “We finally have a process for investigating fire incidents. So it represents progress, but it's far from mission accomplished. The truth is that the conditions that perpetuate these deadly fires in the Bronx remain deeply rooted.”

Torres is expected to attend a street renaming ceremony taking place Monday afternoon in the Bronx outside the Twin Parks North West apartment building. The street, currently known as East 181st Street, will be co-named 17 Abdoulie Touray Way, in honor of the 17 people who lost their lives to the fire, as well as a community leader among West African immigrants, many of whom live in the complex.​
