Philadelphia now has 21 fire deaths in 2022 after a father and his three sons were killed in a house fire in Kensington. JoeHoldenCBS3 reports.
The mother was the lone survivor and got pushed out a window by her significant other to get to safety.“Philadelphia has a fire problem and we need your help because fire is everyone’s fight,” Thiel said.The home had smoke detectors, but investigators say all but one were disabled.
“We will come to your house,” Guy Triana, the regional CEO of America Red Cross, said. “We will install working smoke alarms. And please have a plan with your family. If you can do anything out there, sit down with your families today. Have a plan.”And because there is such a need, the Red Cross House is at 95% capacity.
“With fires burning hotter and faster than ever before, despite our best efforts, the best efforts of our members, we are tragically and unfortunately as this morning, too often, too late,” Thiel said. The Philadelphia Fire Department says since Jan. 1, they’ve installed 4,271 smoke alarms. But they’re still seeing fires in buildings without them.If you need a smoke alarm installed, just call 311 to get on the city fire department’s list.
