Protest shows anger, frustration after fatal SW Phila. fire

200 residents confront 50 cops; 2 arrested in tense confrontation after community meeting.

The protest escalated after 7 p.m. when a ladder truck tried to leave a fire station house. Earlier, residents had challenged Fire Commissioner Derrick Sawyer over how long it took firefighters to report to the blaze. (Steven M. Falk/Staff)
