More pics posted from this fire. It definitely did spread to exposures. Again, these are not my pics - just a similar username.

*Posted on the pics site: At around 1950 hours, Engine 122 arrived on the scene at 416 E 75th Street and reported they had heavy fire in a 30x75 1 story commercial building. The incident was upgraded to a Still & Box Alarm shortly thereafter. At the height of the incident, there were 5 2.5" lines working, Tower 34 working a master stream, and Squad 5's snorkel working another master stream. The fire was in 3 occupied storefronts, 412-416. The fire walls held on the B and D exposures, both vacant occupancies. Most of the roof collapsed into the structure and 2-1-5 struck out the Still & Box around 2116 hours.
