Tower 1 went on location and went in service on side A. A line was stretched through the front door and advanced to the second floor where the bulk of the fire was knocked down. Captain 1 (Eiceman) requested the first alarm as a good smoke condition issued from the row of two-story, brick, row dwellings. Firefighters were able to keep the fire from spreading and containing fire damage to the building of origin. All occupants were able to make it out safely. Companies were out for about 2 hours.
