Veridian Apt Fire 7/1/24

07/01/2024  Lexington Fire Dept responded to the Veridian Apartments on Armstrong mill road for a structure fire. during the battle the order to evacuate  was given which is where this video starts.

Somehow an aluminum ladder against the bravo side balcony fell away from the structure and fell into powerlines running along man o war Blvd causing the base of the ladder to start arcing violently the ladder was hung up in the powerlines for some time before power was cut... master streams went into play and eventually knocked down the bulk of the fire.. 3rd floor of the complex was fairly well destroyed. lower units taking smoke and water damage. no one was injured thankfully.
