Authorities went door-to-door in a North Philadelphia neighborhood early Friday morning as more than 100 firefighters battled a fire that broke out in a warehouse overnight before spreading to adjacent properties, reports NBC Philadelphia.
One person was on fire when they ran from the vacant commercial building on the 2400 block of American Street in the city’s West Kensington section, where the fire broke out around 2:30 a.m., according to officials.
The victim, who had burns over 80 percent of his body, was rushed to a Temple University Hospital, according to authorities. He remains in critical condition after suffering both second- and third-degree burns, authorities said.
Two firefighters also suffered minor injuries in the fire, which crews got under control at 4:11 a.m., according to Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small. But smoke was still billowing from the building more than 45 minutes later.
