Flames and thick smoke shot from a large warehouse in Northeast Philadelphia Friday morning as firefighters battled the large blaze that could be seen and smelled for miles around and forced local residents to stay indoors. The fire along Adams Avenue, near East Wingohocking Street in the Frankford neighborhood, broke out around 5:30 a.m. on Sept. 13, 2024, and quickly spread to two alarms, Philadelphia Fire Department Assistant Deputy Commissioner Derek Bowmer said. The building is a commercial building with an auto shop in the rear that is near the Frankford Creek, Bowmer said. There is another commercial building in back. Both buildings were unoccupied at the time of the fire. “It quickly escalated to three alarms,” Bowmer said as firefighters attacked the flames from outside. By 6:30 a.m. a fourth alarm was struck.
