Command 74 arrived on scene with fire showing from all visible sides. 74-18 (Johnson) assumed the Grove Street command. Station 71(Blades) had a staffed unit and requested to run the box and were granted. Engine 74-3 layed a 5 inch supply line and stretched 2 inch and 3/4 lines, one protecting the Delta side exposure and the other fire attack.
