Another supper time apartment fire, 2 days in a row. Yesterday's
damaged a kitchen wall and cabinets but it was controlled by the
sprinkler. Today's un-sprinklered apartment didn't do so well. When
first due Engine 28 arrived, they had heavy fire in the rear on the B,
C and D sides. Since the fire was extending to apartment buildings on 3
sides, the Battalion Chief called for a 2nd alarm. An aggresive attack
by the first alarm companies resulted in a quick knowkdown.

The D side. As I recall, we had the A side of this building last year.
