This report comes from Eric Haak:
Early Sunday morning, a fire broke out in an occupied apartment building located at 2715 E. 75th Place. Just before 0500 hours, Engine 126 and Truck 49 arrived on the scene and reported flames coming from the second floor of the 25X75, a two-story ordinary building. The structure consisted of two attached, side-by-side two-flats, with the fire initially confined to the eastern unit. At 0511, the 23rd Battalion upgraded the alarm to a Still & Box as the fire spread through a void in the drop ceiling and began threatening both units.
Initially, companies were pulled out of the building, but they made a second attempt to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading throughout the entire structure. By 0530, however, the situation had worsened, and the interior attack was not making much progress. As a result, crews went defensive. Engine 126 and Truck 49 were then pulled from the front of the building, and Squad 5’s snorkel was brought in as flames eventually engulfed the cockloft of both units. The fire was fully under control by approximately 0640.
