Battalion 19 reported fire in a 1-story ordinary, 100 x 50 commercial strip mall that appeared to have started in the liquor store.

Engine 34 was positioned at the entrance to the alley of 54th place in sector 3. Tower Ladder 54 was positioned in sector 4 on 54th Place. 2-11 time was 0614 hrs and companies went defensive at this time. Battalion 4 was Safety Chief and watched progress from the roof of the adjoining building to the north. Engine 65 also worked a line from this vantage point. When I arrived, sector 3 was heavily charged with smoke and a discarded hand line was visible through the rear of one of the businesses. The 2-11 was struck around 0720 hrs.
