Buffalo, NY 2nd Alarm 10/5/14 - sparky - 10-05-2014

Buffalo firefighters rescued several occupants of a apartment building after a fire broke out shortly after 1 PM at 459 Fillmore Avenue. First arriving Engine 3 reported a two story apartment complex with fire showing and people hanging out the windows. While still enroute, the responding Division Chief requested a second alarm be transmitted. Crews quickly advanced hose lines and threw ground ladders to the second floor balcony and removed the occupants to safety. The fire destroyed an apartment on the second floor and caused smoke and water damage to several others. At least one civilian was transported to the hospital with unknown injuries. Firefighters were able to contain the fire to the apartment of origin. Electrical service was disrupted to the area after power lines in the rear were burned by the fire venting from the windows of the apartment. Crews used four 1 3/4 inch and one 2 1/2 inch hand lines to fight the blaze. Damage was listed at $200,000 to the building and $75,000 to the contents.

Love your 2nd shot, but in the 3rd one, watch out or you might get trampled to death. Quite a mob scene. Smile

Used the zoom to stay out of the way!

Didn't notice at the fire, but the guy in the Yankees jacket just walks right through all the commotion!
