AFD Pierce Engine E9

A fire broke out on the 12th floor of the Mayflower Manor in Downtown Akron Ohio, Rumored to be caused by a faulty a/c unit(Which happened to be turned on for the first time this year) One direct victim was taken to a hospital, condition unknown at the time of this upload, but he is expected to survive. many other victims in the building affected by flooding due to use of fire hoses and sprinklers. Those effected range from all over the building from the 12th floor on the western facade of the building to many apartments below the affected burning apartment(I live on the 12th floor but only got little water damage but was lucky due to the close proximity to the burning apartment) Us 12th floor residents were finally permitted to return to our apartments at around 3:30pm after the fire started just after 10am.
