1-Alarm fire in Portage, IN 5-28-17

This from Eric Haak:

This was a 1st alarm fire in Portage, Indiana on Saturday afternoon (5/28). I was a little late arriving and, although it doesn’t look like much, one elderly victim was transported from the scene. Conditions for rig shots were unfortunately not optimal but thought I would submit some images regardless.
