PHOTOS: Video shows Wyoming firefighters carrying a small child to safety and helping two adults escape a third-floor apartment during a fire Monday night.
The Wyoming Fire Department is still investigating what caused the fire, which broke out around 8:45 p.m. at Crossroads Apartments on Clyde Park Avenue SW near 44th Street SW. When crews arrived, they found smoke and heavy flames that were moving toward the roof. Then, they learned there were people trapped on the third floor.
Helmet video released by the fire department Tuesday shows crews hurrying to put a 35-foot ladder up to the window of the apartment where the people were. “Do not jump,” firefighters can be heard telling a woman in the apartment. “There’s a ladder coming up.”
“Help me,” the woman said as she handed a child out of the window to a firefighter. “Thank you. Thank you guys. My baby, please, my baby.”
