A man escaped from a fire on Fifth Avenue in Pittsburgh’s Uptown on Thursday night.
A man escaped a burning building Thursday night in Pittsburgh’s Uptown, not far from PPG Paints Arena.
The commercial fire in the 1300 block of Fifth Avenue was reported just after 9 p.m., according to city police.
Paramedics evaluated the man at the scene. Officials had not said as of Friday morning what they think caused the fire.
It was unclear if a business was operating in the building. Photos from the scene showed a ladder truck extending to the building’s roof and multiple ladders to second- and third-story windows.
