3-27-06 Still & Box 1001 Van Buren

This fire occurred 3 /27/06..I was lucky to arrive early in the fire....these photos show heavy smoke and moderate fire conditions in a mill type constructed building..the building was under renovation and was very dangerous with holes in the floor and open shafts. Judging by the amount of fire I saw on arrival I thought we'd be talking major alarms...a cautious but aggressive attack coupled with big lines and plenty of manpower allowed a very positive outcome...
