Fire Up In Harlem – 2/1
I was on the way down to downtown for a meeting and as soon as I come out my building I smell smoke. I check around the corner and nothing was there but the sirens of firetrucks were heard roaring in all directions. I walk towards 125th and decide to go check it out. On 127th and Madison there was an apartment fire and it seemed pretty grim. The flames were being controlled but there was talk that there was still someone caught inside the building. I started to shoot and these are the images I was able to capture. I pray for whoever is affected. **One Photo is Explicit**
