They say she was living in the basement and alleyway between 1237 and 1241 67th streets. Neighbors say they were saddened by this news, but not surprised. The FDNY says this was the sixth fire at the same address within the past two years. Firefighters say the cold weather made the fire more difficult to put out, although wind was not an issue.
