Philadelphia 4 alarm apartment building

This fire was in Northern Philadelphia, it is Somewhat west of the Philadelphia Fire Academy. Take note of the cinder block walls of this building that were covered with a Mansard style Wood Covering. Any fire venting or auto exposing out any widow near the wood siding had to result in a serious fire in the wood siding and the void spaces behind the siding. Construction like this always has severe consequences in the event of any self-vented fire. Look around your response area what do you have in your neighborhoods.
