Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.
A huge fire at a New York assisted-living facility Tuesday left one resident dead and several others injured, according to fire officials. One firefighter was unaccounted for as of Tuesday morning.
The blaze at Evergreen Court Home for Adults in Spring Valley, about 30 miles north of New York City, started around 1 a.m., police said. When firefighters arrived, large flames were already tearing through the building, and responders started to evacuate residents.
About 20 residents and two firefighters were taken to area hospitals, Christopher Kear, a Rockland County fire official, said. One resident was pronounced dead at the hospital and several others had injuries described as serious, he said. One of the firefighters was released.
The missing firefighter went to the third floor to rescue someone and "got lost in the conditions", Kear said.
About 120 people live at the home, but officials were still trying to figure out how many were in the facility at the time of the fire.
