Several firefighters hurt battling rowhome fire in Wynnefield overnight

Two firefighters were seen being placed into ambulances as crews worked overnight to extinguish flames that tore through a row of, at least, three homes in the Wynnefield section of West Philadelphia overnight.

Security camera footage obtained by NBC10 shows flames erupted at a rowhome along the 5300 block of Hazelhurst Street in West Philly’s Wynnefield community at about 10 p.m. on Monday night.

That fire spread to neighboring homes and kept crews working to extinguish the fire busy overnight.

As crews worked to extinguish the flames, NBC10’s cameras captured two firefighters being removed from the scene and taken to the hospital after suffering injuries during the evening.

Officials did not immediately detail the extend to these firefighters injuries, nor did they immediately say if anyone else was injured during this incident.

As of about 4:30 a.m. on Tuesday, crews remained at the site of the fire that damaged at least three rowhomes and left nine people — in two families — displaced.

Fire officials did not immediately say what may have caused the fire, but an investigation into the cause of the incident is ongoing.

NBC10 is working to learn more.
