2 dead, 1 injured in Philadelphia Rowhome Fire near the South Street

South Philadelphia – – A fire in a South Philadelphia Rowhome claims the life of two men and violates a third in a real estate neighbor that neighbors were the source of difficulties.

The cause of the fire is not known at this point.

What we know:

The three -story, hulcing brick building on the corner of South 8th and Salter Street was etched in the ashes on Friday when the crews worked to close the blackened structure.

Officials said when firefighters arrived at 2:30 a.m. on Friday morning, Flames had arrested all three floors with people on the inside of the flames.

Will Jenkins lives a few doors away. He said: “It was pretty bad. The top floor looked as if most of it was on fire. They pulled out the boys. They tried to have revived two of them.”

Firefighters quickly worked to enlarge the flames in a neighborhood with companies and newly built houses nearby, which led to concern with regard to the spread of the fire.

What you say:

Commissioner Jeffrey Thompson, who led the fire department of Philadelphia, said: “During the fire battle we were able to save several people from this apartment, but unfortunately there were two people who died through the fire.”

Officials report that the 25- and 30-year-old male victims in the Jefferson Hospital were declared dead, while a 40-year-old man stays in a critical condition.

It is believed that the victims were house -occupiers, officers said in a building that the neighbors complained. Will Jenkins described the problems as “rats that emptied outside in a dandruff, noise, breaking windows, drunk people and fights”.

What we don’t know:

The identity of the victims was not released.

An examination of the records in the city shows violations of violations of the code and unpaid city fees. A call to the owner was not answered.

The cause of the fire is examined in a property in which there were no smoke detectors. Fire brigade commissioner Thompson said: “There was a lot to do that rescues had to be made while he was fighting the fire at the same time. It was a challenge.”
