UPDATE
Reporter Jessica Mazzola has an interesting update at NJ Advance Media on Monday night’s fire in Newark. Mazzola reports that a spokesman for the Newark Fire Department is downplaying any danger to the firefighter who was seen on video straddling the window:
A video of the Fire Department’s response to the fire posted on YouTube by user Jeff Stang shows a firefighter exiting one of the homes during the fire from a top floor window and going down a fire truck ladder.
Though Brown said he could not comment on the circumstances surrounding the firefighter’s exit, he said he was in “no imminent danger.”
