Shortly after, Command reported live electric wires burning and dropping to the street. Engine 4 tied into a hydrant in front of the structure, while Ladder 2 used their aerial to access the roof. The fire appeared to have started on the first floor porch in a metal bucket and raced to the eaves of the three-story house. There was heavy water damage on all three floors, but the only interior fire damage was in the attic.
