Companies Arrived at Amherst and Pope Sts to find a 2 story vacant apartments over commercial with heavy fire showing. A second alarm was ordered on arrival and companies went immediately to defensive operations. After knocking the heavy fire down with exterior streams, companies went interior to finish extinguisment.
@sharppointy1 SOP's vary from department to department, Providence is known region wide as a very aggressive FD and are very good at what they do

@firemike: I thought SOP was "Risk nothing to save nothing". Why would FF's go inside a vacant boarded up structure after fighting it defensively? (Just trying to learn....) Thanks.
