Beechwood Ave. October 2001
Two firefighters were injured while conducting a search on the 3rd floor, conditions deteriorated and the 3rd floor flashed from back to front. One firefighter was treated for 1st and 2nd degree burns, the other was treated and released. They were about 12 feet into the apartment when they recognized the signs. The fire started on the outside of the structure and spread upward.
