Units dispatched for a building fire reported to be smoke in the building. Police went on location with heavy fire and smoke showing and numerous subjects trapped. Crews arrived to find fire showing from the first floor front and rear and went in service. Chief09-9 arrived and requested a 2nd Ladder Truck due to the possibility of occupants trapped inside the structure and also requested a redispatch for a working fire. Shortly after the first handline was put in service on the first floor fire was showing from the 2nd & 3rd floor rear. Due to heavy fire conditions and questionable structural stability a 2nd alarm was struck and crews were pulled out of the building. Several master streams were in service. It is believed all civilians were accounted for.
