Rescue from apartment building fire in Milford, Massachusetts

Some pretty good shots, fire went from offensive to defensive with evacuation signal given. Always love it when a pet is also saved as well as the occupants! Not sure but looks as it this may have been a balloon frame construction type,  fire on first floor quickly spreads to the upper areas?

From You Tube site  metrowestvideos A fire destroyed a three-story home at 31 Pine St. in Milford the afternoon of 3/25/10. A tenant, Gary Howe, had to be rescued from the third floor by a ladder truck. Two cats were also safely rescued

And another one here, remember there are more and more video capture devices out there. You are always on camera.

From sparkywfd  Around 1pm, March 25, 2010 firefighters were called to this Pine St. apartment complex for a fire. Upon arrival, heavy smoke was showing and an occupant was hanging out the window on the 3rd floor.
Heavy fire was on the 1st floor rapidly extending to the upper floors. Firefighters made the rescue and attempted an aggressive interior attack but the fire was way ahead of them. Firefighters eventually had to be pulled out and fight the blaze from the exterior.
It took almost 2 hours to bring this 3 alarm fire under control.
