March 8, 2022
Firefighters from Hight Point threw ladders and rescued several residents, and a pet, as fire spread through an apartment building.

A group of High Point firefighters talked about a recent apartment fire that was anything but

“I saw a person hanging off the second floor, another hanging out a third. I didn’t know there were four people upstairs,” High Point firefighter Charles Wilson told MyFox8.com.

Firefighters threw ladders and rescued a number of occupants who were trapped inside. 

“Everyone knows their job, and my part in this was no more than anyone else’s. You have to put water on the fire. You have to be able to throw ladders, find out how many people were in there. It’s one big thing. Not just one person,” firefighter John Gough told the television station.
