A lithium-ion battery caused a deadly fire at a Harlem apartment building Friday, according to the FDNY.
One person was killed, 17 were injured and dozens of people were displaced.
The raging fire forced dramatic and rare rope rescues.
"People was coming out of the building. The fire at the top. Side, you see the police coming down with the people, people jumping out the window," neighbor Angie Ratchford said.
"Just what I have on me. My phone, my keys and this guy," said Akil Jones, a resident who escaped the fire with his father.
