"Wilson and Beacon - this morning at 630am ish a fire broke out in the building that is on the North west corner of the intersection. I dont know what kind of injuries or deaths there may have been. Multiple medics took away a bunch of people that they pulled from the building. I witnessed someone that was in really bad shape. I hope everyone is ok. This was so scary to wake up to."


"
Carried a woman off the ladder from the 3rd floor, carried an unconscious man from the 2nd floor - seems fire started on 2nd floor. Fire just east of the Wilson Skate shop."

We hope that all residents are now safe and in good health.

  2. @UptownPits I agree. The Fire Department on Wilson is my favorite part of Uptown. Evey time I walk my dog I stop and chat with the guys. Not only do they do great work, they are great guys.
