Update KNOCKDOWN Structure Fire; INC#0377; 08:53AM; 123 W 31st St; http://bit.ly/2I90Ma6; Historic South-Central; 105 firefighters battled a commercial blaze near USC (several blocks east of campus) in one unit of a row of commercials, extinguishing the fire in 1 hour and 55 minutes. Within the first 10 minutes, firefighters withdrew from the structure and engaged with defensive tactics, deploying hose lines from adjacent rooftops and ladder pipes. The fire was fueled by textiles inside the business. The roof collapsed on top of the burning textiles with no one inside - no compromise to surrounding structural integrity. After an hour and a half, ladder pipes were shut down and companies continued chasing the fire inside with hand lines to achieve final knockdown. No reported injuries. Unk cause/loss. Investigation ongoing; FS 15; Batt 13; South Bureau; Council District 9; AR1 BC11 BC13 BC2 BC4 BC5 BC9 CM2 CM21 CM22 CM32 E14 E15 E203 E210 E215 E221 E226 E233 E26 E261 E3 E46 E60 EA1 EM1 EM11 EM25 HR3 PH1 PI2 RA10 RA15 RA814 RM1 RM2 SQ21 T10 T15 T21 T26 T3 T33 T35 T61 T9 TO34 UR3; CH9; 12 13; -Nicholas Prange
