5 Philly firefighters suffer electrical shocks
Five firefighters have been hospitalized after suffering electrical shocks while fighting a blaze in South Philadelphia.
The rowhouse fire occurred around 5 p.m. Thursday.
And it was the second fire of the day–at the same house.
The Daily News reports that the first fire was quickly put out with little damage.
The second, however, destroyed a rowhouse and displaced several residents.
A resident of the house claims the fire was never fully extinguished the first time–an argument the fire commissioner disputes.
