11:01 am
seen for miles. good morning. this fire broke out around 9:00 a.m. this morning and it quickly burned through the roof of the building. nbc 10's monique braxton is live there. i know you spoke with the minister of the church. what are you learning? >> reporter: that's right. in just a few moments, the deputy fire commissioner jesse williams is going to update us on their status of battling the blaze. let me get out of the way while i show you what's going on. as many as 150 firefighters are here on the scene at the good shepherd presbyterian church at lands down and 65th. we just learned that 47 pieces of apparatus are fighting the blaze from above, including the fire trucks, the ladder trucks that you see here in the distance. i see 41 and i also see 24. we did speak to minister reverend adams. he told us that two people were inside the church at the time. one on the third floor, one on
11:02 am
the second floor. when the lights went out. and they ran out. the minister also tells us this church is more than 100 years old. he says they just celebrated that commemoration. he told us that they rent the church to as many as five different congregations. when i asked him where they believe the fire began, he told me that it appears it started in the basement, but of course, the cause is unknown. i also just checked with the fire marshal. they have told us the cause is unknown as well. but we can tell you that the winds are shifting into our direction, which means that only can -- the fire fighting status at this point. so we're going to be joined in just a few seconds by deputy commissioner jesse williams. deputy commissioner, are you ready? okay. we're live, so please share with us what you can. >> hi, my name is jesse wilson, deputy fire commissioner. we just placed the fire under control at 11:02.
11:03 am
when they responded this morning, they started with a fairly aggressive interior attack that in short order transitioned to a defensive attack once we were unable to control it on the interior. the companies did make one rescue and did a tremendous job of doing that. the individual that we rescued is in good shape now and did not need medical attention. for more of the details on the actual firefight and the transition from the offensive attack to the defensive attack, i want to turn it over to the commander, robert cardin, who assumed command at about the second or third alarm. bob? >> good morning, everybody. companies did a great job. church fires are notoriously difficult to fight the fire. they have a lot of void bases and fire can travel. initially, fire companies were in service with two engines and two ladders with medium smoke. they were told that the fire was in the basement. they proceeded down to the basement and engaged the fire with water lines. while that was happening, they were able to go to the second
11:04 am
floor and find somebody who was not aware that the church was on fire and they were able to bring him out unharmed. as the firefight progressed to the basement, there wasn't really enough water power to be able to put the fire out. it was so the commander ordered them to evacuate. there was an orderly evacuation and we transitioned to what we call from offensive to defensive. at that point, we knew that everybody was out of the building, and our primary focus was to protect the houses behind the church. we were able to successfully do that. there are no injuries at this point. >> talk about the equipment that you all used. >> the equipment? >> yes. >> water lines. 33 apparatus and 120 personnel responded. i want to thank all of our partner agencies, too. typically, we can depend on the red cross. we can depend on red cross, lni, the water department, gas works to come out and help us. reach of them did that today.
11:05 am
i can't say enough about our partner agencies today. >> commissioner, can you tell us more about what you saw in the basement as far as the origins go? >> there was a heavy volume of fire. they went down there with hose lines and they were attacking it, but they weren't making any headway, which is an indication that we need to evacuate. once the rescue was made, they were able to withdraw. >> the specific area in the basement? >> yeah, the specifics of that are under investigation. >> is there a boiler in the basement, air-conditioning unit? >> that will all be under investigation. >> was anything going on activity-wise? i'm sorry, i'm joining this late. as far as any activity inside before the fire? >> it's under investigation. we're not aware of that yet. >> and we also understand that some cats were missing. how many cats have been located? how many cats are you still looking for? >> we don't have information. >> so there's a homeless shelter and a daycare that operates out of this church. were any of them there at this time? >> our information is that there was one person present at the time and we were able to get them out. >> thank you, both of you, we appreciate it. >> okay, thank you.

11:40 am
would often choose this filter. it's called inkwell. it turns photos black and white. so darker. whereas people who are healthier with no real history of depression would often choose this filter, it's called valencia. that one makes photos lighter and brighter. so you're probably wondering, what's the point? it's that one day, technology could offer new avenues for early detection of mental illness. >> it may be the case that people in the medical field will use these types of instruments to try and complement the more traditional techniques they use to diagnose patients. >> reporter: he says there's good reason for more study of social media as a health screening tool. >> that was jack thurston reporting. if you're thinking of switching credit cards, listen up. now may be a good time to make a move. we'll tell you about a trend that could save you some cash, coming up. and that hot forecast continues, but the big question is how does it look for your neighborhood weekend? we're going to check in on that, and especially labor day at the shore, coming up.
