Buffalo bars helping out former Old Pink employees

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - It has been nearly two weeks since the fire at the Old Pink in Allentown. Now, other bars in Buffalo are doing what they can to help former employees get back on their feet.

Paul Baggs, the bar manager at Mulligan's Brick Bar, got word of the fire just hours after it happened. He had just returned home from closing his establishment when he started to see pictures surface online.

Baggs knew he wanted to help in any way possible. He described the businesses on Allen Street as a tight-knit community.
