Early video: Six rowhomes burn during 3-alarm fire in Whitehall, Pennsylvania

Early video, above, from Bill Rohrer at newsworking (website with pictures of fire here) taken during a three-alarm fire Thursday that damaged six rowhomes in Whitehall, Pennsylvania (Lehigh County). Here’s some of what Bill wrote about the fire:

At 18:54 Lehigh County transmitted the box for 3323 South Second Street for a house fire sending Whitehall Engines 3, 13, 2 and Medic 62. The fire dispatcher informed Acting Chief 35 (Shambo) that they were receiving multiple calls that multiple homes were involved. He transmitted the 2nd alarm while enroute to the fire.

Engine 13 arrives 2 minutes later and reports 5 to 6 homes involved.

At 18:56 the second alarm is transmitted by Lehigh County sending Engines 2, 1, 11, Catasauqua Ladder 231 and Air 32 (Woodlawn).
