00:00This is amazing. This is the back side of that apartment complex, a little field and
00:07school craft on the city's west side. Firefighters are, it looks like they're trying to go into
00:12the building right now, but that building is just about ready to collapse. 12 people
00:19were taken to the hospital already, some of them dangling from the second floor. You see
00:24a very active scene. They've got EMS on the scene. Three in serious condition with serious
00:31burns. Give some credit to the Detroit Fire Department. They made some amazing rescues,
00:36but now it looks like they're trying to get into this building. The decision is going
00:39to be made whether to just tear it down, but obviously a very serious situation here on
00:45the west side.
