Two in Critical Condition After Jump From Manchester Apartment Fire

Partial collapses made interior firefighting unsafe, prompting an exterior attack until the blaze was declared under control.

  • Two residents jumped from the third floor and were taken to the hospital in critical condition, according to the fire chief.
  • Responders struck a second alarm as dozens of firefighters, engines, and police units converged on the West Side neighborhood.
