Buffalo, NY 10/16/13 House fire Police lead 5 out before FD arrival - sparky - 10-16-2013 Buffalo Police officers Mark Slawek and Franklyn King from the "A" District rescued 5 people from a burning house at 166 Amber Street on the city's Southside October 16, 2013. The officers arrived before the fire department and found heavy smoke and fire in the enclosed front porch of the house, blocking the front door. They immediately entered the home through the side and back doors and led the occupants to safety. Two occupants of the home were transported to area hospitals for injuries. Firefighters also had a close call at the fire. As fire crews were knocking down the fire, a five gallon container of gasoline stored in the porch tipped over and ignited, briefly engulfing two firefighters. Because of their protective gear, the firefighters were not seriously hurt. The cause is under investigation but appears to have been caused by improper use of flammable liquids. Damage was pegged at $20,000 to the building and $10,000 to the contents.       The two officers who got the people out.     Buffalo, NY 10/16/13 House fire Police lead 5 out before FD arrival - signal29 - 10-16-2013 Nice Job Kevin.
