Fire crews praised for quick center-room save at city store
For a fourth time in a week UK firemen fought a city center blaze. A black man on the levee spied the fire in a store, raised the alarm, and interior flames were contained to the center of the room. Firemen crawled along the floor to tackle the fire and moved a table full of goods to the street where it was extinguished. Insurance will cover the loss. Occupants above the store fled in nightdress but returned once danger passed.
