Because the structure was just feet away from an adjacent home, the flames spread.

A busy night in the city, & outstanding work by our Fire Alarm Operators. They still had companies at the earlier 2 alarm Fire when the 3 alarm Fire came in. They quickly dispatched the resources needed to control the fire , while maintaining coverage for the City. Great Job !!! pic.twitter.com/I7JgBJUO5d
