West Philly 5-alarm fire
University City District Seeks Community Support for Residents
Displaced by the five-alarm fire Monday night.
A five-alarm fire ripped through West Philadelphia Monday afternoon
displacing approximately 98 residents, including families with
children, students and seniors. More than 160 firefighters battled
the five-alarm blaze that raged through the Windermere Court
Apartments at 48th and Walnut streets. Clouds of black smoke could
be seen as far as Center City. The fire was declared under control
at 7:25pm.
Many residents left the apartment with just the clothing on their
backs and University City District is seeking clothing, coats,
shoes, personal hygiene items and any other related items for
distribution to these residents through the Salvation Army.
Interested donors can bring items or financial donations directly
to the Salvation Army at 5501 Market Street (215-474-1010) or drop
them off at UCD during the hours of Monday thru Friday, 8:30am to
5pm. Any financial donations should be given directly to the
Salvation Army or the Red Cross. Thank you.
Cheers,
