DCFD Engine 10 for the structure fire...

Units were dispatched with Battalion 2 at 20:37 hours for a reported building on fire at 7th & H St's N.E
Engine 10 went on the scene with heavy fire showing from side "c" of a two-story commercial building. The initial attack was slowed as firefighters from Trucks 13, 7, 4 and Squad 1 had to cut bars off doors and windows to gain entry.
The fire which consumed much of the second floor was quickly handled once firefighters gained entry. There were no injures reported and the fire is under investigation.

Take a look at the hazards involved and the obstacles that need to be overcome in order to extinguish the fire...
