KNOCKDOWN Structure Fire 07/17/2024 INC#0917

KNOCKDOWN Structure Fire; INC#0917; 01:01PM; 800 E Florence Av; https://bit.ly/3y4tSW1; Florence; Firefighters responded to heavy fire at the corner of East Florence Avenue and McKinley Avenue, where a large storage yard was on fire (concrete walls surrounding the yard, with overhead roofing/protection built over part of the yard). Firefighters began in defensive mode, applying heavy water streams from the perimeter of the property. The intense heat caused flames to penetrate the adjacent (vacant) commercial building, where firefighters made interior access and fought back the encroaching flames from inside. Overall, it took 49 firefighters 23 minutes to extinguish the flames. ; FS 33; Batt 13; South Bureau; Council District 9; BC1 BC11 BC13 CM20 CM22 E10 E21 E215 E233 E264 E266 E33 E57 E66 EA1 EM13 RA33 RA65 RA833 SQ21 T15 T33 T64 T66; CH7; 12; Nicholas Prange
