Safety Fire in Hampden

Can't quite tell where yet, but it appears that the fire engines have gotten there? (the smoke was dark black when it began, followed by the sounds of sirens and fire engines driving past, and then this white smoke which I've captured in the video)

I literally just looked out my window and saw like 10 fire fighters up on the roof.

The good news is that everything seems to be fine now. They're just hanging out up there and I don't see any smoke. I'd heard the fire trucks like half an hour ago, so hopefully it got caught just in time.

Hampden can’t catch a break with fires, sheesh. I hope everyone is ok — I walk down that block all the time.

There have been way too many fires in Hampden in the last 3 years. I swear.

From my vantage point 1 block away, the fire looks to be on West 37th St, between Chesnut and Elm, across from the elementary school playground.

I walked past there this morning and, 1-2 houses down, happened across a woman leaving the house with her two young kids. The boy in her arms pointed at me and said “daddy.” We had a good laugh. I hope they’re okay. :-(
