Just after 21:00hrs on 07/26/2013, Box 7-13 was transmitted for the 1970 Block of veterans Hwy.  This is a large 200x200 2 story apartment building.  Water supply is an issue, requiring lengthy supply hose lays.  Chief arrived and found heavy fire through the roof.  He transmitted the 2nd alarm with in the first 7 minutes of the initial dispatch.  Minor injuries were reported.   Here are some of my shots.  This was I walked up, just prior to the 2nd alarm being transmitted.

5.  A little late on the trench.  The truck guys did a hell of a job though when they got up there.

6.  Trench helped speed the process up.

7. This is why the trench was to late.  It was well past them by the time the cuts were made.

Great shots!

You made good time getting there, it is rare for me to get to a fire that fast.

I live less then 2 miles from the job. As soon as the box was finished being transmitted, the working fire was transmitted, and I was out the door.
