At about 3:15 this morning, a full assignment was dispatched for an
apartment fire at NE 21st Ave. & Weidler St. Engine 13 and Truck 13,
stationed at 9th and Weidler arrived quickly with heavy fire showing
from a 1st floor room in the rear and extending up the exterior wall
into a room on the 2nd floor. One occupant was removed to a hospital.
A 2nd alarm was sounded because access to the fire area was very
difficult. Ladders had to be thrown from an adjacent property that
was like a jungle.

Narrow property on the fire side made access difficult.

Ladders had to be carried through trees and over a fence.
