Reporters: x129k aka 36Truck! LOL....multiple Bravo Members on scene and I don't beleive we had time to take a single picture.

Writer: Yours truly...ALL BUGGED UP!

Heavy fire upon arrival, defensive operations initiated. markmets and x129 did a very brief interior attack on the rear kitchen but were forced out by fire in a room behind us...Dover 36-45 special called and we opened up a gable end and the roof. Multiple handlines placed into operations. Very stubborn fire with difficult access due to complete collapse of the exterior porch.

x129k actually used a handline more than a hook! LOL
