This is an interesting video from January 27, 2009 in San Antonio, Texas. It’s raw video from  Francisco Barragan,  a photojournalist with WOAI-TV, showing the San Antonio Fire Department being met with heavy fire conditions at the San Pedro Apartments in what became a three-alarm fire. Before someone else mentions it, yes I noticed the charged hose bed.

Firefighters rescued two people and a third person jumped from a second-floor balcony to escape a three-alarm fire that destroyed an apartment building.

Fire Chief Charles Hood said that while the San Pedro Apartments’ building was a loss, he was relieved there were no fatalities or serious injuries from the fire that began just after 6:30 p.m. Tuesday. The person who jumped had minor injuries.

A statement from the Red Cross said it was assisting residents in 12 apartments that were affected by the fire. The statement said 13 families, including children and individuals with special needs, were displaced.
