Yesterday a part of our Philadelphia musical history went up in flames.
The fire started Sunday morning on the third floor of Philadelphia International Records on Broad Street near Spruce.
First responders say they saw several young people running from inside the building. One ended up getting stuck inside. He was then rescued by firefighters and treated for minor injuries. He was then taken in for questioning and released.
The fire is believed to have begun on the third floor which was the heart of the company's rich musical history.
"That's where our main studios are; that's where we recorded so many of the artists through the years.
We're just so concerned about all the potential damage that could have happened," Gamble said.
The effects of the fire are being felt by many.
"It's going to be very sad because Gamble and Huff is the Philadelphia sound," Kimmel Center volunteer Joan Goldberg said.
Both Gamble and Huff were out of town when the fire erupted.
