BUFFALO, N.Y. - One of Buffalo’s bravest is recovering from an especially dangerous night on the job. And a family left homeless by that fire has a lot of questions.
Where was the water and why weren’t firefighters using it? That’s what a young Buffalo family wants to know after a fire destroyed their home. Fire officials claim crews were forced to retreat as soon as they faced an electrical hazard.
Three children, no older than six, slept in the back seat of the family van. Their parents, Prince Taylor and his wife, were right outside, collecting what little they could salvage from their apartment after a fire ripped through the home Wednesday night.
The mom said, “My husband, me, the children. We’re still in the same clothes from yesterday.” The family is now homeless, and find themselves questioning the actions of firefighters.
