Update Structure Fire 03/22/2023 INC#0080 - Update Structure Fire; INC#0080; 01:58AM; 3011 S Main St; ; Historic South-Central; Due to the amount of fire in the structure and the difficulty reaching the seat of the fire (possible mezzanine which poses great risk with fire above the firefighters on interior attack), the incident commander directed a transition to a Defensive operation. All firefighters are exiting the building and coming off the roof to deploy large diameter, master streams (ladder pipes and 2 1/2" handlines). There are no additional structures exposed at this time and no injuries reported.; FS 15; Batt 13; South Bureau; Council District 9; BC1 BC11 BC13 BC18 BC5 CM20 CM22 E10 E14 E15 E203 E21 E210 E215 E226 E26 E3 E46 EM1 EM11 HR3 RA14 RA15 SQ21 T10 T15 T26 T3 T9 UR3 UR88; CH9; 13 14; Margaret Stewart 03-22-23 02:03 AM
