Chief ( Charles Vanaman) 42-17, and was advised PD was on scene with heavy fire showing from the roof.  Asst Chief Vanaman then asked for a 2nd alarm, alerting Sta 52 (Houston), and Sta. 75 Ellendale to the scene.  Engine 42-4 went on scene with fire and smoke showing from a 50ft X 100ft structure. The crew from Engine 4 attempted to make an interior attack but was ordered to evacuate the structure due to the roof deteriorating as it started to collapse.  Ladder 42 under the command of Fire Chief ( Bill Carpenter) 42-15, set up for aerial operations for an exterior attack.  A 3rd alarm was then transmitted bringing Sta. 49 ( Frederica) and Sta. 50 ( Harrington) to the scene.
