PHILADELPHIA — Five firefighters battling a row house fire suffered electric shocks from downed wires early Monday.
All five were in stable condition at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Fire Chief Daniel Williams said. It wasn’t immediately clear how the five came in contact with the wires.
About 100 firefighters were battling the blaze, reported around 6 a.m. The flames spread from a vacant home to several other vacant buildings before crews could get the fire under control. The cause of the fire was under investigation.
