Earlier this morning around 5:45 a.m., a fire broke out in an apartment above a laundromat in Lawrence. WABC 7 reports that two people are dead and that "at least four children were rescued from the apartment." There may be other occupants still missing: "One Nassau County fire official told Newsday that, due to what was termed 'a language barrier' on scene, it is unclear nearly two hours after the blaze started if those occupants had been trapped in the building or if they had escaped." The location of the fire, which is being battled by fire departments from Lawrence-Cedarhurst, Inwood, Meadowmere Park, Woodmere, Lynbrook, Long Beach and Elmont, is near the Lawrence LIRR station. Update: Newsday now says four people were killed in the fire: A 46-year-old woman, 19-year-old man, a 10-year-old girl and a 9-year-old girl.
