A massive fire broke out in an apartment above the Korner Cafe in downtown Latham Saturday morning.
Latham Fire Chief Kenny Crosier says at least 10 fire departments were on scene. The fire started at around 8 in the morning. He says there was so much smoke the firefighters had to evacuate the building, and they actually ran out of water on several occasions.
“We’ve had approximately 38 fire departments here at the first today because we kept running out of water, and we started sending them to Niantic and Mt. Pulaski and Warrensburg, and we ran them out of water,” Crosier says.
