Close call: More video from Girardville, Pennsylvania fire. Firefighter needs help.

We showed some additional video in this morning’s Quick Takes from last Wednesday’s fire in Girardville, Pennsylvania. This video by John Garber, without sound, is more extensive and at about 4:23 captures a firefighter needing a ladder to make his exit from a third floor room. Here’s part of the description with the video:

A team of firefighters were trapped in a third floor room when a piece of furniture fell over and blocked their exit and they began to run low on air. One firefighter was grabbed from a window while the other two were escorted out by the RIT team.

Firegeezer has previous coverage of the fire.

Here are more pictures of the fire from Frank Andruscavage.
