Update Structure Fire; INC#1650; 11:05PM; 1501 E 17th St; https://bit.ly/3JnHLQA; Downtown; With over 70 firefighters assigned to the incident, the bulk of the fire was extinguished in 34 minutes with no injuries reported. The fire was in one section of the building and prevented from extending to an adjacent building. There is an exposed gas line which firefighters are allowing to burn (the safest method as it can not be extinguished until leak is secured) while awaiting the gas company. An official ‘knockdown’ not declared but the incident is transitioning out of an active firefight. Firefighters will remain on scene for an extended duration overhaul due to the gas line. Therefore drivers are advised to avoid the area through the night. No further details and no further updates anticipated.; FS 14; Batt 1; Central Bureau; Council District 14; BC1 BC11 BC13 BC5 CM20 CM22 E10 E14 E203 E209 E21 E210 E215 E221 E27 E9 EM1 HR3 RA14 RA3 RA803 RA810 SQ21 T10 T15 T21 T3 T9 UR3 UR88; CH9; 14 15; Margaret Stewart
