A 98-year-old woman,
incapacitated and confined to bed, died in a fire that broke out
in a Milan apartment block Thursday. Chiara C. turned 98 on
January 9. Condo members told firefighters she was in the flat
but flames prevented then from reaching her in time. Many people
have gathered outside the building in Via Monteverdi, where
smoke is continuing to billow out of the woman's window.
Stability checks are ongoing to see if the occupants of other
flats can return home.
