"At this time, a 2nd Alarm was called, and is[sic] was determined that this incident would go from a offensive operation to a defensive operation (fighting the fire from the exterior)."

Firefighters used ladders for heavy-water operations while crews on the ground continued to fight the fire from the outside.
