Two firefighters were hurt during a massive fire at a Center City apartment building, reports NBC Philadelphia.
The four-alarm fire started at a 3-story apartment building on 2122 Locust Street Tuesday around 5:40 p.m. At least 20 residents inside the building were evacuated.
Two firefighters suffered minor injuries during the blaze. No other injuries have been reported.
Firefighters battled flames on the roof of the building. SkyForce10 also showed flames spreading to a connected building.
“We thought it was going to get under control but then it got worse and worse and they started to bring out more fire trucks,” Bhatti said. “They told us to actually get back further because it seems like it’s going to be a hard one to control.”
Firefighters dealt with temperatures in the mid-20s and 20 mph wind gusts as they fought the flames. They were finally able to bring the blaze under control shortly before 7:45 p.m.
