Firemen Rip Down Ceiling To Expose Blazing Inferno In Shared Attic In California Property
This is the moment that firefighters rip down a ceiling exposing a raging inferno above their heads as they tackle a blaze in an apartment complex that damaged 16 apartments in Fresno in California.
The fire started at the Oakbrook Apartments complex in the 300 block of South Argyle Avenue in the Sunnyside area in Fresno, California in the United States on Sunday.
Fresno Fire Department crew arrived and saw the fire on the patio of a second-story unit.
The firefighters were able to put out the fire outside the unit quickly.
