At 12:50 August 24th, Truck 1, Squad A, Engine 3, Engine 2 and the Battalion were dispatched to the Salvation Army building downtown for a reported structure fire.  Heavy smoke was encountered upon entry and SqA pulled their crosslay.  The fire was discovered towards the back of the first floor and was quickly knocked down.  A 2 1/2" line was pulled as a backup, due to the size of the building.  T1 opened the alley door and opened the ventilation points on the roof.
