Engine and Ladder 4 responded to a reported brush fire near a building at W. 5th
St. and N. Cedar St. While en-route, alarm changed the address to W. 5th
and W. 6th St. intersection with pallets on fire. As Engine 4 was
approaching the intersection, we found a fire at the rear loading dock area
of a building. The loading dock area appeared to be fully involved with fire. Engine 4’s crew advanced a line on the fire, while Ladder 4’s crew attempted to
gain access inside the structure to search for extension. Most of the damage
was outside the structure, started by vagrants who were living behind the
building. Companies that responded were: Batt. 1, Engine 4, 5, 1, Ladder 4.
