A fast-moving blaze that broke out at a Memorial Avenue rooming house Saturday displaced at least 30 tenants and sent one Atlantic City firefighter to the hospital with serious injuries.
Fireman Robert D. Gragg suffered smoke inhalation that caused damages to his lungs. The two-year veteran was admitted to the intensive care unit at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center.
Fire officials say the 11:45 p.m. blaze was sparked by an overheated hot plate, according to the Press of Atlantic City. Firefighters and neighbors rescued many of the tenants, including an elderly man trapped in a third-floor apartment.
Many tenants, none of whom were injured, fled with just the clothes on their backs. Witnesses said two children were tossed to safety from a second-floor window by a woman who jumped after them.
