This from Josh Boyajian:

The city had a still and box on the west side yesterday @ 1223 s Kildare. Engine 38 had heavy fire from the attic U/A. Truck 26 beat in Truck 48 and took sector 1 where they deployed the main to the expousure to the north. Around 10 minutes into the fire, Batt 13 ordered all companies out of the building and went defensive. Here are my pictures.
