Un incendie a ravagé une maison de retraite à Fall River, dans le Massachusetts. En pleine nuit, les résidents, dont certains non ambulatoires, ont dû être évacués en urgence par les pompiers.
00:00About 9.30 tonight, we responded to an alarm at the Gabriel House, which is located directly behind me.
00:06Crews were met with heavy fire coming through the main entrance and multiple people hanging out the windows looking to be rescued.
00:17An incredibly coordinated effort between the fire department and EMS and the police department.
00:23Multiple victims were rescued from the building and transported to local hospitals for treatment.
00:28Unfortunately, at this time, we do have fatalities and multiple injuries, and we're still working to get those numbers to you, and we're going to try to update you when we have them.
00:39Did fire crews run into any issues when responding? Were there any obstacles in the way, or was it pretty scary?
00:45Nope. The fire attack was pretty quick. It was just a very smoky fire.
00:48Do we know a cause at this point?
00:50We do not. That's all under investigation.
00:52What injuries did the firepower do?
00:53There were five firefighters that were transported, mostly minor injuries.
