PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Seven children are among at least 13 people found dead after a fire at Philadelphia Housing Authority apartments in Philadelphia’s Fairmount neighborhood on Wednesday morning. The Philadelphia Fire Department arrived to heavy flames at the building on the 800 block of North 23rd Street just after 6:30 a.m.
“It was terrible, most of, I’ve been around for 35 years now and this is probably one of the worst firsts I’ve ever been to,” Philadelphia Deputy Fire Commissioner Craig Murphy said during a press conference.
