Prayer vigil held for victims of Bronx fire

A prayer service brought together all faiths in the Bronx to pay tribute to the victims of the fatal apartment building fire. Neighbors, local officials, and members of the FDNY and NYPD surrounded family members of the deceased.

With a comforting glow of candlelight illuminating the church, a bell rang each time a name was read for each of the 12 people killed in last week's fire.

Neighbors reached out to one another, to comfort one another. And parents held onto their children a little tighter.

Some surviving family members said a few words and shared a song of comfort with everyone.
