Is this thing still going?

Dave, they never went interior, did they? How did the fire finally get out? Was the 7 alarms just to rotate personnel or did they have that many companies there at a time?

That is one enormous building - was it still in use? I saw so many trailers around it, I am wondering if it was an active concern.

@sharppointy1 There was interior operations on the inital alarm. It was very sophisticated to maneuver inside, but the fire kept growing and everyone was pulled out prior. Part 1 starts over 12 hours after the inital call. I want to say at one time it was 5 Alarms on scene. There was a massive amount of rotations from several counties after the 48 hour mark. The warehouse is huge and there were several subleases to various companies operating in different sections.
