Hundreds of Bronx residents were stranded without access to their apartments Saturday after a fire tore through a building in Allerton. More than 260 people who call the building home are now blocked from going inside because of the damage.

“It’s kind of devastating, honestly, even just looking at it right now, it’s scary. This is my home. I’ve been here for 24 years,” Shannon Mignott said.

A five-alarm fire ripped through the six-story residential building — 2910 Wallace Avenue — Friday morning.

Dozens of families were forced out of their homes. By Saturday evening, the American Red Cross had registered 101 households — 221 adults and 64 children — for emergency assistance, including more than 75 households seeking emergency lodging. 

Mignott, 30, lives on the fourth floor, and fled with his mother and grandparents, who live in an apartment next door.

“All my memories [are] really gone, all my memories,” he said. “I went to the public school right around the corner, the middle school right down the block. It’s kinda scary.”

More than 200 first responders worked to put out the blaze, with FDNY officials sayingg the fire was difficult to contain due to strong winds.

All the apartments on the building’s top floor are now destroyed. Before the fire, residents had been calling 311 to complain about a lack of heat in the building. Out of 84 complaints to 311, more than 60 are related to heat and hot water.

“I used to borrow my mom’s space heater, it’s crazy, everybody has a space heater in that building,” Mignott said. “Once you step into the building, you can feel how cold it is. It wasn’t like that 10 years ago.”

The morning after the fire, engineers and inspectors from the Department of Buildings were back on scene. Residents hoped some of their belongings could still be saved.

“Everybody in the apartment got burnt down or their stuff is flooded straight through, so everything is pretty much destroyed, so it’s really devastating,” Mignott said. “Everything is gone, my pictures, everything, just everything. I got expensive equipment in there and stuff, so all that is gone too. It’s kinda crazy.”

In the meantime, Mignott says he’s grateful to be alive as he and his family navigate uncertain times.

“That’s always the big blessing at the end of the day because [there are] stories like this where people don’t even make it out. I could’ve lost my mom, I could’ve lost my grandparents,” he said. “I’m just praying.”

At the scene, DOB inspectors determined the fire initially occurred near the rooftop and spread throughout the building.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
