Six-Alarm Fire at 57 Lincoln Road

It wasn't exactly Armageddon but there was a 6-alarm fire at 57 Lincoln Road on Friday night, destroying much of the top floor of the 84-unit building and causing 25 injuries, none of which at this point appear to be serious.

Over 200 firefighters were on the scene attempting to subdue the fire, and 23 of the injuries came from their ranks. It is currently believed that the fire was the result of faulty wiring.

Kate Daisley posted photos of the fire (including the one seen here) and a short video filled with the sound of windows being broken and onlookers cursing in wonder, here. Tara Fire Ball posted photos here.

Hawthorne Street wishes a speedy recovery to those injured and a rapid resettling of the families displaced by the fire.
