Dozens of people were displaced as fire tore through
#NortheastPhiladelphia apartment building late Thursday night.
The fire -- which would spread to four alarms -- broke out around 9:25 p.m. on July 11, 2024, at a Rhawnhurst apartment building along Roosevelt Boulevard, near Cottman Avenue, Philadelphia Fire Commissioner Jeffrey Thompson said at the scene early Friday morning.
"Upon arrival companies found heavy smoke conditions emanating from the fourth floor," Thompson said.
Firefighters rushed into the building -- known as 7400 Roosevelt Apartments -- to battle the flames and make sure everyone was out of the building, Thompson said.
