A massive fire leveled a furniture store that has been a mainstay on Tacoma’s southside for decades.
Everyone in the 75-year-old building managed to get out safely but now begins the search for a cause.
Even with the fire out, it has been smoldering much of this day and firefighters say that is not unusual with a fire that burned as hot as this one. That, says a spokesman for Tacoma fire, is when they decided it was too risky to keep firefighters inside.“So, we had over 50 firefighters here scene,” Tacoma Fire’s Joe Meinecke. “We had to take a defensive strategy. So, we set up our aerial ladders with our master streams and some ground monitors and we were able to kind of contain the fire to the building of origin.”“It was a challenge because most of the fire was up in a space between kind of the ceiling and the roof,” Meinecke said.
