Streets with bike lanes have it almost impossible to allow drivers to pull over to let emergency vehicles pass. Whose crazy decision was this in city planning?
Right!?!?
Fire's out but you can see how charred it is inside there...feel bad for the people above and below too having to deal with smoke/water damage
I spoke to a resident who told me one man jumped from the 5th floor onto the lobby roof. That’s about a 4 story fall. No update on his condition. I’m not sure if there were any other injuries.
Ceilings & floors are coded for fires. You have 1-2 hours before the fire can break through the barrier.
