A firefighter rescued a person from a burning apartment building in Lynn, Massachusetts, on Friday.
The Lynn Fire Union said the fire department received multiple calls for a fire on Hanover Street and arrived to find heavy fire coming from a window on the first floor.
According to the union, a firefighter saw someone who had been overtaken by smoke and flames hanging out a window and was able to get them out, saving their life. The Lynn Fire Department said a firefighter had extricated one person from the first floor, who was taken to a local hospital. Fire crews were able to contain the blaze to one apartment, preventing it from spreading into the rest of the building by quickly establishing a water supply and stretching a line.Sign up for NECN newsletters.
