Initial arriving fire units reported a “working” fire in a three-story vacant industrial building with fire showing from the roof area. Due to the condition of the structure and access issues a defensive fire attack was initiated for safety reasons. A second, then third alarm was transmitted due to the size of the building, access problems and the potential for fire spread to adjacent structures.
