BENSALEM TWP., Pa. (WPVI) — One man died, and two people were injured after a fire broke out at an apartment complex in Bensalem on Saturday night, police said.<\/p>\n
A resident shared video showing smoke pouring from windows and doors at the Primavera Square Apartments. Police said the fire started in a second-floor apartment.<\/p>\n
Anthony Ferrante, who lives at the complex, described the man who died as a friend.<\/p>\n
“He was just a really good person. It hurts. He was my neighbor. A friend. It’s sad,” Ferrante said.<\/p>\n
Ferrante said he was walking his dog when he heard alarms going off around 6:15 p.m. at the building on Station Avenue.<\/p>\n
“I didn’t think nothing of it. I went to Wawa down the street and came back and just seen fires. Everybody going crazy,” he said.<\/p>\n
Firefighters quickly arrived and extinguished the flames. Six apartments were affected by the fire.<\/p>\n
“I have a lot of respect for them. They jumped right up into that unit and did their thing,” Ferrante said of the firefighters.<\/p>\n
Police said the two injured people were rushed to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n
Ferrante said it was a devastating day for his tight-knit community.<\/p>\n
“I’ll be praying for them and praying for him and his family. God bless them, you know,” he said.<\/p>\n
Police said residents did not need assistance from the American Red Cross because they were able to return to their apartments or had other accommodations.<\/p>\n
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.<\/p>\n
