I was walking up Ninth Avenue on Thursday (04/03), at approximately 7.30 a.m. when I saw smoke coming from a residential building at the corner of 47th Street and Ninth Avenue. Fire engines arrived at the scene within seconds. The smoke quickly turned to flames as they leapt from a third story apartment window. Firefighters climbed up the outside fire escape and started rescuing residents from the apartment next to the fire.
One firefighter-battled flames coming from the third floor apartment window – thick grey smoke hindered his entrance. One resident was taken from the building on a stretcher as emergency crews performed CPR on him. His condition was not known at the time of the incident. The fire is under investigation.
