Myself and 3 other members of KTFD #2 responded to the scene around 2200hrs. to assist in overhaul operations. We were on scene for about 2 hrs. Of course I forgot my camera!! One of our guys did bring his camera so I hope to get his pics and post them. It was a 3-story, 33 unit apartment building. The roof was completely gone and the 3rd floor was heavily damaged by fire. All residents made it out safely.

Yea, I did hear talk last night when I was there that a meth lab may have caused this. Not confirmed tho.

That wouldn't surprise me. I have been in these on medicals before. They aren't the greatest places...
Lots of good people out of EVERYTHING now though. Shame...
