THE LONELIEST MAN IN HAMBURG
A lone firefighter perched atop an aerial ladder fights high winds to put water on Monday's fire through the roofs of burning buildings. Standing a half block away, I was chilled to the bone and repeatedly drenched in mist as winds carried the water away from the fire. The borough's hydrants could not supply all the water needed and relays of tank trucks from several fire companies brought water to the scene. I saw responding units from as far away as Fleetwood.
