Here are a few cell phone pics from a 3rd alarm I fought yesterday in the city. Glenn Duda

12/31/15 3rd alarm 215 Charles St. Bridgeport, CT – Companies were dispatched to a reported car fire in an underground garage of this large four story condominium complex . Upon their arrival they found multiple vehicles within the garage involved. Companies tried to make a push but were driven back by intense heat and heavy black smoke generated from the vehicles. Multiple attempts were made to flank the fire from different directions but were no avail. Companies had to be pulled from the structure. A second and third alarm was ordered as the fire spread throughout the complex. The fire took about six hours to bring under control. One hundred and twenty residents lost everything in the blaze. One third floor resident had to be rescued from his apartment via ladder. One firefighter sustained burns to his ears and was treated at the scene.
