Amazing video captures worker's daring rescue from massive Houston fireAll construction workers who had been in the high-rise building were accounted for, and no injuries have been reported. Video posted to YouTube (above) shows one construction worker on a fourth-floor balcony of the structure, with heavy flames showing inside the building. As he was waiting for a ladder truck to come to his aid, the worker dropped down, swinging onto a balcony below. He was eventually rescued by the ladder, just as the top-story wall falls behind him in flames. The video, uploaded by user Karen Jones, claims to have been shot from a building on the AIG campus near the scene of the fire. Houston Fire Department spokesman Capt. Ruy Lozano told the Houston Chronicle that one man was rescued as he prepared to jump to safety. Fire officials said more than 200 emergency personnel had responded to the scene. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Lozano told the newspaper that high winds caused the fire to spread quickly. Greenhouse fire causes blasts, closes road near HammontonPosted: Sunday, March 23, 2014 10:00 am WINSLOW TOWNSHIP — Crews are investigating a fire at a wholesale greenhouse Saturday night on Mays Landing Road that destroyed the building and briefly touched off a forest fire. When firefighters arrived at County Line Greenhouse about 8:15 p.m., they found it fully involved, said fire investigator Michael Scardino. "There were multiple explosions" and a second alarm, he said. It drew at least seven fire companies to the scene. Winslow Township police closed off about a half mile of Mays Landing Road between Piney Hollow Road and the Hammonton border. The building is on a rural road behind a home, which appeared unaffected. The commercial greenhouse appeared to be destroyed, and other buildings may have been damaged. At the height of the fire, burning embers were falling at least a half-mile away. |
