It’s 11:00 AM and the fire department has been doing a valiant job fighting the blaze since 5:00 AM. The problem is that it’s an older wood framed building with no built in sprinkler system and the fire is entrenched in the roof.
As we speak the blaze is still bursting out in two places on the southeast side of the building. The real concern the fire shooting out of the third story apartment that is right beside a line of large trees. If those trees catch fire it’s going to spread uncontrollably.

Consequently the fire department are focusing on that spot and have re deployed the aerial hose on the ladder to deal with that possibility. It is amazing how strong this fire is despite the valiant efforts of the fire department to contain it.
If they did not have this many people on the fire it would have spread throughout the complex. There is not doubt of that. Well done. Here's a video clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYoxsQqqSFI
