A Harlem roof fire caused a school evacuation and prompted community members to run into the burning building to assist residents on Thursday afternoon, eyewitnesses told amNewYork Metro.
Flames and black smoke burst from a five-story rooftop on 360 West 119 St., at Morningside Avenue, that overlooked two schools at around 2:58 p.m. on May 25, sending about 60 firefighters flocking to the scene, FDNY sources said.
Residents from the apartment building fled, some even leaving without shoes. Guy Smith and Nelson Barr said they grabbed their dogs and ran. However, Smith also said he tried to put out the flames.“It sounded like fireworks, it sounded like something exploded. People were yelling from the get-go,” Barr said, explaining that he woke up to the chaos.
