This is just down the street from our station. So jared what are you seeing, clearly we can see it fully engulfed on the roof. Reporter this is the last couple minutes this front part of the roof here has really taken off and they are scrambling to get some water on it. I mean it looks like edge of the roof here is really all flames. There is embers flying around this is air here. So obviously, were lucky, it is not very windy right the now. What are you seeing on the ground as far as any rest dents. Reporter we have people collect here with dogs. I havent been able to get over there to talk to them just yet. I dont know if they live in the building or just out and about. A lot of people taking pictures with phones and things like that. Hard to tell if they live there i havent been able to get over there and talk to anybody. Fire fighters still trying to hammer out flames how to tackle that fire. Have you seen Additional Units responding. I havent seen anybody else pulling up. Im seeing a major effort to run as major hoses as they can there different corners in the the area. So, they are trying to get an attack on this. I think they are also working the back of the building there Second Street as well but i cant see im kind of stuck where i am right now. Can you give us a better understanding of the building itself ape businesses that are connected what you are seeing down block. You are very close to the the area. Right on the corner you have this, the gaslight bar and then there is another small like three Story Building in between and then a six story Apartment Building right next to it, and it looks like three or four buildings inter connected, a lot of these older, and, and between the next group of buildings. Yeah, do you see this alley. Is there an alley in between separating it from this next building over thaw can see with the the fire escape on the front. Jared, on the back side of that building is a arcing lot. I guarantee you natalie Fire Fighters are coming from Second Street right across there nicks roast beef there is that big parking lot there. So this building backs up to the parking lot. That is good news. So they are able to fight from it it this little alley here, leticia alley over to Second Street. Also on the corner we have the franklin, candy store right here, franklin confection, franklin fountain one of the most tame us ice cream and candy stores this is country right there at the corner there, you mentioned gaslight lounge right there.

They have a headlight or thrash light on those flames at the top of that ladder. We are looking up from the other side where at Chestnut Street and it looks like flames are being doused on the top of the building there. So, you can see down these little streets this is all settled city, they call that it because they have the oldest streets in philadelphia that makes the job tougher for Fire Fighters and then you have a heavily populated area here with people moving into apartments and things. That is why we have a tough job for fire fighter, down here in olde city, guys. Can you see any people that may have been evacuated from your Vantage Point. We know you just arrived there what are you seeing at the scene on the ground level. Reporter there is no people. We see white smoke, rather than black smoke. That means Fire Fighters are winning this battle. It looks like flames are completely out from our ankle on the roof, obviously were on the the ground level but no people around here so it looks like, if there is any people around here, earlier, they are long gone or they are keeping warm somewhere, because it the is because low treeing out here. This is real cold, but when you have 31 degrees, you know, you have potential natalie Fire Fighters to have worry about everything freezing on contact but as jared mentioned no wind, so wet ther is this is favor of Fire Fighting for a january day. Can you give us a better understanding of some of the streets that are blocked off. Reporter so early, knowing these streets this is not a big traffic concern at all right thousand but when we were coming down Second Street , approaching arch and race, a police officer, passed us and then blocked off the street. So it will be obvious to anybody to get around this but it is very easy to get around this since there is so many other streets alternative this will not be a big traffic story this time of the day. Steves located on one side of leticia, jared the our photographer is on the other side of the fire truck. What is good it it is that small street the anal i between Market Street and Chestnut Street, and if we can come to my maps here to give you an idea coming into or through olde city is where we will see detours.

What is good it it is that small street the anal i between Market Street<\/a> and Chestnut Street<\/a>, and if we can come to my maps here to give you an idea coming into or through olde city is where we will see detours. Market street is totally shut down, there our Vantage Point<\/a> at the top of our, tv station here. It the is Market Street<\/a>, second, between second and front as all that fire activity and then coming town Market Street<\/a> trying to get to the ramps for i95. Your best bet use seventh street and as we saw Fire Fighters<\/a> tackling it from all four tangles here and it is tough to get in there with the older streets, smaller streets but we will stay on top of it, again up to two alarms here in olde city. Otherwise coming over bennie looking good. We have no problems, on mass transit the both septa and patco kick in, some new schedules, over the weekend. And we are probably going to have bus routes on detour as well here in olde city but sue by good news is the wind, it is gone. If happened tomorrow we have ative rent story. We have a clipper system. This one passing by to the north instead of yesterdays passing by to the the you the. That is why the shore got several inches of snow but for us this will mean light snow showers moving in. We have seen a little bit, now in Cumberland County<\/a> around millville, light snow, maybe white and what happened yesterday and then philadelphia with no snow, just yet. Future cast has some light snowfall moving in the area, accumulations, if any, will happen in the mountains and maybe Lehigh Valley<\/a> with an inch or two for ski resorts, but some rain moving in later on. This will come in two waves. The sort of like yesterday. If you missed snow this morning you may get round of snow or rain in the afternoon but the big, difference, this morning is a temperature. Most of them in the 20s and then factor in some wind and we have wind chills in the teens especially in lancaster and in reading, where it feels like 19 and 18 degrees, 27 is wind chill in wilmington this morning. So 44 today. Fortyeight tomorrow. It is dry but windy, your groundhog day forecast, here is sunny, it looks like there will be some cloud in punxsutawney, and so we will see what happens, we will height get that early spring, temperatures remain in the 30 s, cold one, we are watching a possible storm late in the day on sunday. Guys, back to you. We will continue to stay on this breaking news at second and market where we do have this Apartment Fire<\/a>.

Thanks for joining us at the bottom of the hour as we check back on the scene. We have reporters on the scene , so we will get to you for traffic in a minute but first we have our own steve keeley out there, good morning , steve. Steve is on the the scene and we want to get right to him, steve. Reporter i will ask produce tore stay out of my ear for a second. David, you got kicked out of your building. Tell us what time you learn about this fire because other people said they didnt hear any alarms. Didnt hear an alarm. It was around quarter of five, 5 00 oclock, i heard, i was woken up, people were running around banging in the june ate above me which would have been the fifth floor amy was thinking what the hell are you doing up there at 5 00 in the morning. I heard a young lady out in the hallway yelling fire, bang ing on the doors so i got up, got dressed and when i came out, i smelled smoke. Reporter maybe because fire was on the roof and didnt set off any alarms with the smoke. That could possibly be it. Building has a fully addressable alarm system, so im in the sure what the issue was. How many floors does the building and what floor are you on. It is five floors, unit and sixth floor is a roof deck. I live on the fourth floor. Did you take stairs downey take it. Yes. Reporter elevators all shut of. Supposed to i dont know whether it did. I but i saw firemen using elevator but that is supposed to happen too. Reporter this is a small little street, old street but they did good job keeping this from wenting. I dont know what you saw was on the other end. I saw a lot of flames and then flames went up quick. Yeah, firemen were coming upstairs when i was going down so that is pretty Quick Response<\/a> when im grateful for reporter was there panic or everybody cool and collect. Some people seemed panic but we went through this same thing in the same building ten years ago, same thing fire on the roof. It is a deja vu for some of us reporter if you can remember back then what cause that had fire. I remember talking to the fire marshall he said he wasnt, it was hard to determine but the belief was it was careless smoke, wooden roof deck. Reporter a lot of pet lovers did everybody get their pets out, some people will risk their lives on get their pets out. I believe so, i dont have have a pet. I know my neighbor has a dog and a lot of people seemed to have dogs outside. So i everybody, it was a pretty calm evacuation of the building. I think people had time to get the out what they needed. Reporter maybe next tenant s meeting get an alarm for that roof deck if it keeps getting on fire. Yeah if there is something that can be done for that, one hopes. Reporter we appreciate your time, need a place to keep warm our live truck will do. There you have it, residents very calm, very collected there, and as he told you, second fire in this building within a decade. That is at the same spot on the roof again and i was than the just joking when i say figure out to get an alarm on the roof deck if people go up there and smoke or whatever caused this one, you would think if it is happened twice it can happen a third time. Good job steve at corner of the second and market right there at corner of franklin fountain to give you a locater heres a shot the from our photographer jared who ran out the front door two blocks away and first on the scene here and showed us when flames were coming from the top of that, what that tenant said was a five Story Building<\/a> and then roof deck. Coming down Market Street<\/a> if we can take our camera on the roof here of our building were at fourth and market, you can see fire activity between second and market. You have continental at second and market and then that little street, leticia, and then trent street, so it is along leticia and back of the building that was on fire is a parking lot, anyone who has familiar with cuba lee bra or nicks roast beef that is probably where you park your car. It didnt backup to any of the Old Buildings<\/a> here, in olde city. I did see a lot of folks Walking Around<\/a> snuggling their dogs all wrapped up in blankets. So obviously pets were getting out with all of the tenants. Lets go to the happens, coming into or through center city, olde city right now, Market Street<\/a> blocked from third street over to front street. Obviously that ramp to i95 is blocked. Septa buses that org that it out of that depot at front and Second Street<\/a> are going to have issues this morning and again, Second Street<\/a> blocked as well, between market over to Chestnut Street<\/a>. Karen and thomas back over to you. We want to get back to steve keeley near second and market, steve, what is latest. Reporter we have another person who lives in the building but he lived right under fire on the fifth floor and jamie atlick, what did you see and hear were you sleeping at the time. We just got off work, just gone to bed and we started to hearing noise. Through the sky light the sky light caught on fire and then all of the tire started to drip down on the couches. Reporter how long have you lived in this building. Rately two years. Reporter did anybody tell you there was a previous fire on the deck above your roof. Yes. Reporter that didnt enter your behind you heard crackling thinking we had snow so maybe hail. Possibly hail or i thought it was people out running around on the roof tech at first. Then we saw light and then fire coming town. Reporter smoke rises you never shelled smoke. That is correct. Reporter when did you see orange glow or was that not until you hit the street. No, when i was in there trying to put the couch out and i extinguished two fire extinguisher on the june it to try to keep my girl trend was trying to get the my cat out which we werent able to to. Reporter cat is still in there but hopefully everything is cool. Yes. Reporter it wasnt big enough fire you didnt think, get everybody out alive you thought i could put this out. I wanted to put that out while we were waiting for fire tenth because it wasnt coming down heavy at that junction tour while she whats vac waiting and knocking on doors i wanted to keep water and extinguishers, so the couch didnt catch on fire as easy. Reporter were you making headway. We were able to keep it out , but the roof was in complete flames. Reporter when you got outside did it look worse from the ground or did it look i actually went up on the roof and saw the actual tire. Reporter help you got out. I looked the whole roof was on fire. Reporter think guess . I know you are not a fire investigator. The deck upstairs caught on fire before, maybe somebody did something or maybe one of the heat pumps blew up, upstairs. Reporter having hours, being in the martini bar business sometimes having late hours is advantageous. Yes, we just got off work. Reporter what do you think of the the Fire Department<\/a> getting here so fast. They got there very quickly in under probably four minutes reporter pretty good job because these buildings are all connected and things can went fast. That is correct. Reporter good job, jason. Jason to go what we always here, maybe get out next time but he did what he could to keep it from wenting, and so, Fire Fighters<\/a> did the great job out here, because we have seen fires especially here in olde city went from building to building. We all remember short corner area just a block over and that fire spreading so bad. So great job by everybody to get the neighbors out, that is always great a lot of people never talk to each other when they live in these buildings, might pass each other and never say hello, but these neighbors, did good getting everybody out, and hopefully jasons cats and other pets in the building are okay as well. We do hope that. Great reporting. Great work there steve.

Reporter joan park have been tenant close toss this fire, her apartment right beneath it, she sits on her couch and she can see people on the roof deck. You were awake looking at your email you are another late night worker. So what happened . Youre on email and what happens next. I was looking at email and i heard these loud noises. There is usually people moving the patio, or i dont know some people are playing dodge ball because it was so weird, it was a weird sound, i woke jamie up, my boyfriend and he goes maybe it is the maintenance. He said that is hail. Yeah, this weird crackling. Multiple things happening and he said it is hail. I said, do you think hail is big enough to break car windows. I was curious. I got out of bed, once i got the to my living room, kitchen and seen sky light and there were fireballs and two minutes , just crazy. Reporter did you go in panic or keep your head straight or call 911 and get your fellow will owe tenants out. I panic. Jamie grabbed the fire extinguisher to try to put it out. He went, things were melting that is how his arm got burnt. I ran out but i income on everyones door because all of the apartments are connected, there is a lot of false alarms reporter everybody isnt awake like you are, you are banfing on doors and they think a loon particular is in the building. My friend paul and lona live on the second floor. Im knocking on everybodys floor, the fourth, fifth, third, second just going town screaming. I screamed so much i almost lost my voice. Reporter are there alarms or just smoke alarms and that is it. You know what there is alarms and everything for the first floor i didnt hear any a alarm. Have you ever noticed coming and going alarms you can pull. Yes, there is. Reporter but you were more worried getting instinct to knock on doors and get everybody out. As far as you though everybody got out. Yeah. Reporter now looking back on it, do you see the job Fire Fighters<\/a> did and these big trucks on your little street, you have been up and down this street hundreds of times and dont realize how tiny it is. They have to get a big ladder truck in there. I thought the place was still on fire but my girlfriend said no, it looks like they are putting it out. I dont see any hoses. They had the other ladder up. So they are working from both sides. It looks like they have put it out thousand. That is good. Reporter your thoughts having a great Fire Department<\/a> behind you. Oh, high god. I freaked out so much and they tell me dont worry we will get your cat. Jamie was still up there, i had five Fire Fighters<\/a> going upstairs and i try to follow and say my boyfriend is up there, tell him to get out. Reporter we have a good ending here for everybody and not too much damage tour physical stuff and your little pet will be fine im sure. The guy said i was freak ing out. Reporter one of the many tenants happy with the Fire Department<\/a> and happen think wasnt any worse and good job by her for doing her own little life saving by incoming on doors and that is why her voice is horse and her thick else sore from banging on peoples door but that is kind of neighbor you want like joan park when something happens like this. Thank you. Will that be a loss now given the magnitude of the flames. Shes hoping that her apartment is fine and she got a pet in there and hoping petties fine as well, it didnt look like the fire spread town, it was burning up , so you think your apartment is cool, plus only thing is water damage because your boyfriend was hosing everything down before the Fire Department<\/a> did. He had fire extinguisher, but from when i came town stairs and saw a little bit of smoke and it was just fire on the rooftop and now we are trying to find a place to crash tonight. Reporter they have their business nearby too. They opened it up, they have infusion lounge and they opened it up, how nice to put heat on open it up and have everybody go there as an evacuation. This is kind of neighbor you want when Something Like<\/a> this happens for sure. All right, steve, thanks for that amazing account. Lets get a quick check of traffic.

If we had, jareds camera he is right here in that parking lot that i told you about.
