Upon arrivial Ladder Company 2, Squad 7 and Battalion 1 Glassman reported heavy fire in a three story vacant structure with exposure issues. Ladder 2 and Squad 7 immediately went into service to protect the exposures on the "D" side of the building.
Battalion 1 and Car 1 Harper eventually called a total 12 alarms plus 2 more for a seperate exposure. Companies from Camden, Gloucester and Burlington Counties were called in to help battle the blaze that consumed two city blocks. There were a few minor firefighter injuries. The cause of this blaze is under investigation.
What camera did you shoot this on?

@patcism Yeah, the easiest way to remember is that (typically) the A side is the Address side, and then its just clock wise to get the rest of the sides.

@patcism In general firefighting terms Alpha is the front of the building with Bravo being the left side, Charlie being the back, and Delta being the right side. A for the front and sides B C & D go clockwise around the building.
