VIDEO: Students urgently escaped from a blaze which burned through multiple apartments in the Campus Row student housing complex on Carolina Street around 2 a.m. on Monday. A crowd of dozens watched the raging flames as residents fled with their pets, roommates, friends and significant others. The Tallahassee Fire Department arrived on the scene to evacuate residents and prevent the flames from spreading about 5 minutes after the blaze began. At least three fire trucks and two ambulances were on the scene to snuff the blaze. Officers from the Tallahassee Police Department were also there to help out. "TFD firefighters launched an aggressive attack on the fire while conducting searches for potential occupants and evacuating the building," a TFD spokesperson wrote in a news release.
