She says the only person who lived in the house got out safely. Juran says crews kept the flames from spreading to surrounding buildings, but it wasn't easy because of all the construction in Uptown."We've got fire hydrants all the way up and down Lake Street that are shut off, so our crews who are trying to hook up water for our aerial ladder were looking for hydrants, all of them shut off," Juran said.
