From Steve Redick:

This fire occurred about 2300 or so on Monday night…the building was a combination of several commercial occupancies. An unusual construction feature as you can see in the attached aerial daytime view was some kind of added on truss roof structure. I’m not sure just how this altered the space and use of the building but this added a great deal of concern on the fireground. Initial reports, based on radio traffic indicated a haze of smoke in the restaurant. Also I heard on fireground later in the incident there was a large quantity of tires stored in one of the buildings as well. When I arrived, fire had gone through the roof and they had a snorkel and 2 towers working. Moderate smoke conditions prevailed for at least an hour with little apparent progress. Note the shot of the tower boom resting on the streetlight wire……More to follow
