I was on my way to the PATH station when I noticed a fire that had just started down the street so I took a number of images. This was a fire at a Jersey City apartment complex. The first floor unit is fully engulfed in smoke and flames…

Building in smoke!

…at first i thought it was a garage for a car given the gaping holes in the first floor apartment and for some reason was focused on the shots to really process what was happening. At one point the daughter of the woman who died came running by screaming that her mother was trapped inside and would someone please do something. That was when I knew it was a tragic event and turned my attention to the fire engines instead…

Read the rest to learn what Steve has to stay about JC Emergency Services… (also more high quality pictures)

Steve was impressed by JC Emergency Services:

…The response by the Jersey City emergency services was great – they were onsite almost immediately and very organized & efficient in their life / property saving….

Thanks for sharing Steve! Too bad that the incident is tragic.
