Aftermath
Uploaded: April 17, 2012
----
Last week, in the Kensington neighborhood in Philadelphia, there was a warehouse conflagration in which two firefighters lost their lives. They had been searching in an adjoining building for possible victims, when a stone wall collapssed on them.
-----
Flames were leaping 800 feet above the warehouse and glowing "firebombs" were shooting out of the flames volcanically, some landing on nearby homes. The fire was SO HOT that fire trucks had to park more than a block away to avoid MELTING!
----
During this five-alarm fire, the brave firefighters were able to stop house fires rapidly, avoiding a catastrophic spreading from row house to row house. Miraculously, apart from the firefighters who were tragically lost, there were no injuries.

This photo was shot Sunday evening during a vigil that had been organized by the Neighborhood Community Group to honor and show their appreciation of the "Unsung Heroes" and their families.
