A second alarm was transmitted on the box bringing an additional two engines and truck. Companies set up for a long duration defensive fight.
The fire burned for more than six hours with conditions worsening due to a steady wind blowing. The fire would spread to the number four side wing before an excavator breached a wall and allowed firefighters to gain access to the deep seated fire.
