CAMEROTA: We are following breaking news. At least 12 people were killed in the worst fire tragedy in New York City in 25 years. Four children are among the dead. CNN's Scott McLean is live in the Bronx with the latest. Scott, what do we know?</s>SCOTT MCLEAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hey, Alisyn. Well, we are just learning this morning that three of those children that you mentioned who died in this fire were under the age of 10. This is an absolute tragedy. You can see that firefighters, they are still on scene. They have been here since just minutes after this fire broke out, shortly before 7 p.m. yesterday, on the first floor. They got here quickly. Three minutes or less, according to city officials. But those flames seemed to spread even quicker. One hundred fifty-plus firefighters ended up here on scene battling those flames. But obviously, not everybody managed to make it out. Those who did had to climb down those fire escapes on the side of the building into absolutely bone-chilling temperatures. One of our local affiliates actually spoke to one woman who was waiting outside anxiously, as you can imagine, because she had gotten a text, the last text that she got from her mom, saying that she was trapped inside of a three -- inside of a third-floor apartment. All told, 12 people have been killed. There are others who have been injured. The ages of these victims range from just 1 to 63 years old. And the mayor says there could still be more victims because there are still several people who are in the hospital. Now, we've checked public records. This building, we know, has 29 suites inside. But according to the records that we found, it's only had four complaints since 2004, and none of them appear to be fire- related. As for the cause, we've just spoken to a fire official on scene here. They said that they haven't gotten any new information for us. But they should have an update for us just after 8 a.m. this morning -- Bill.</s>WEIR: All right, Scott. When it gets this cold, people get desperate to stay warm.
