BCFD Engine 21 arrived at a large warehouse/industrial type building in the 1700 block of Union Avenue, approximately 100 x 300 and multiple floors, with heavy fire and smoke showing. Command ordered exterior/defensive operations, and struck 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th alarms. Crews were hampered by limited water availability and difficult access.
