JERSEY CITY — A three-alarm blaze that broke out yesterday on the third floor of a Harmon Street apartment building sent 13 Jersey City firefighters to the hospital, most from heat exhaustion, officials said.
One firefighter collapsed inside the four-story building about an hour after the blaze started, possibly from heat stroke, and had to be carried down four flights to the street, while another suffered first- and second-degree burns, Fire Director Armando Roman said.
All the firefighters were released from the hospital last night, Jersey City Medical Center spokesman Mark Radson said. Five ambulances from the hospital responded to the scene. The blaze started in the rear of the apartment, located at 37 Harmon St. near Randolph Avenue, shortly before 3:30 p.m., Roman said.
