The garage was about 500’ off the road with limited access due to vegetation overgrowth and several scrap vehicles and construction equipment. 2 hydrants were tapped and deck guns used until hand lines could be established. Morton supplied additional manpower as well as lighting for the scene. FHM was called to fill our hall. The fire was called under control after about 45 minutes, but the building was a complete loss. The fire has been deemed suspicious and is under ongoing investigation. |

Upon Arrival we had heavy 2nd floor involvement in a two story wood framed unoccupied structure that was a vacant bar and apartment house. We started with and aggressive interior attack but were soon forced to consider Fire Fighter Safety due to the weakening of the second floor roof and floors.

After gaining access the fire was extinguished rapidly and extensive overhaul and search for extension was performed. Power and gas were turned off from the house and Red Cross called to the scene for two adults and three children.
