This from Eric Haak from the 3-11 alarm fire:
I got there just after the box. I am sending you 9 shots. Below is a timeline of the fire. Photo credits to Eric Haak.
At 1424hrs Saturday, Engine 120 reported smoke from the 5th floor of a 5-story condominium. At 14:34, the 21st Battalion requested a Still and Box alarm followed by a 2-11 alarm at 1442hrs. At 1444hrs, a Mayday Alert and an EMS Plan I were called for by the 21st Battalion. At 1449hrs, the Mayday alert was secured. At 1459hrs the fire was elevated to a 3-11 alarm and around this time, companies were evacuated from the structure and the attack was made defensively from this point on.
