2nd Alarm - Bethlehem PA

before 09:00, Bethlehem transmitted the box for a house fire at 450 Carlton St. sending 3 engines and a ladder company. Engine 1 arrived to find a 2 1/2 story duplex well involved on the first floor and front porches of both units. Initial reports of people trapped. Command sent an engine to the rear and a primary search that came up negative.

After the initial knockdown, firefighers were taking a water break on the street of side 'A'. Our cameraman noticed a smoke condition developing on the second floor of the initial fire building. Within minutes, the second floor flashed over and flames poured out of the windows. 3 firefighters quickly went back into service stretching a handline to the second floor and darkened down the fire.

One firefighter was injured and the box was held to the second alarm companies.
