City Worker Catches Man as He Jumps Out of His Burning Apartment with His Pets

  • A fire broke out on Tuesday evening around 6 p.m. in an apartment building on East Bow Street in Franklin, New Hampshire.
  • Smoke filled Blake McInerney's apartment, prompting him and two others to escape by jumping from a second-story window, with a city worker helping to catch one of them.
  • McInerney smashed a window and jumped after smoke became too thick to breathe, while a man climbed onto the roof to rescue the family's cats.
  • Fire Chief Michael Foss reported that a city employee helped secure one of the people jumping from the building, while Gallagher shouted, "My house is on fire."
  • Officials are still working to determine what started the fire, and after recently rebuilding, the family—potentially facing a complete loss—has created a GoFundMe to seek support.
