This report comes from Josh Boyajian:

On November 16, 2017, Engine 7 responded to an attic fire at the address of Barry and Long. Upon arrival, the fire was already intense, and initial efforts to enter the attic were quickly thwarted due to the rapid spread of flames. As a result, the crews had to switch to a defensive strategy for several minutes. In total, four fire lines were deployed. The responding units included Engine 7, Engine 68, Tower Ladder 58, Truck 23, Squad 2, Battalion Chief 7, Battalion Chief 8, and the RIT unit T38, along with the 2-7-2 command team.
