NEW YORK — Investigators say burning incense caused a New York City fire that killed two toddler sisters.
The Fire Department of New York also said Thursday that there were no working smoke detectors in the third-floor apartment at a public housing project in the Bronx where the girls lived.
The fire Wednesday evening claimed the lives of 18-month-old Amanda Jabie and her 2-year-old sister, Jannubi.
About 10 other people, including several firefighters, were treated for minor injuries.
It wasn’t immediately clear whether any charges would be filed.
