Syracuse Firefighter Ray Duncanson is out of the hospital after a bit of a close call during an early morning fire. Duncanson was working in the attic of a home at South Salina Street and East Newell Street when he ran out of air. He made his way to an attic window and got the attention of firefighters working on the porch roof below.
Duncanson was able to walk to the ambulance after being helped to safety. WSYR-TV captured the incident on video.
The house is believed to be vacant and investigators are looking at an electrical problem as the cause.
