This morning around 0600, there was a 2-11 alarm at 5614 Grand Ave. It was a one-story commercial building attached to a truss roof auto repair garage. I arrived a few minutes after the alarm was called, and some of the box companies were still en route. Squad 2 had no snorkel, and both tower ladders (14 and 23) were out of service. The fire had already gone through the roof before my first photos were taken, and two separate collapses occurred while I was there. I didn’t get them on video or stills, but only the roof came down — no other parapet or wall collapses were visible. I wonder if there were fire cuts on the truss ends. Also, I captured some shots of Engine 43 stretching a ground ladder to the roof of an exposure building for a vantage point. Overall, it was an interesting fire. The shift change was happening at the same time, so you can see firefighters in various stages of dress. I’ve included a link to a short video with radio traffic that I recorded as well.

This was a one-story truss roof auto body shop, approximately 75x100 feet. The fire was fully involved throughout. Exposure 2 was a one-story structure, about 25x100 feet, also fully involved. These are of Engine 117 and Tower 35. Engine 117 had two lines operating off the roof of the building directly west of the exposure building, using a point of vantage. Tower 35 also had their main line on that roof.
