Crews set up multiple handlines for a defensive operation and prepared to stop it before it took the entire building.

Heavy smoke was still coming from the building and the C-D corner was still well involved close to 45 minutes after the fire started.

The RIT teams were kept busy with firefighter accountability and safety operations.

The fire was found to be caused by faulty wiring on the first floor. The last of the crews were set free 8 hours after the first dispatch.

It took a total of 32 firefighters to finally put the fire out.

There were no injuries to firefighters and the male fire victim was transported to the hospital as a precaution. 


Engine 5 was pumping this fire and at one point had 3 1.5inch and 2 2inch hand lines.  8-)
