While initiating an offensive fire attack, the first engine company found two people trapped behind a security gate inside the structure.

During the rescue, the fire continued to grow. The engine company resumed fire attack operations after rescuing the two patients, however the fire had grown rapidly. The crew was inside the structure when a flashover occurred. One member was found to have burns on their ears, but all four members of the crew were transported for observation at the hospital.
