    At 1330 hours Station 46 was dispatched to this location for a reported structural fire. Captain 46B just cleared an AFA with E49-2 and was 3 blocks away when he requested a working fire assignment. On arrival, a working fire was found on the second floor exterior porch. It was extending into the second floor apartment and was impinging on the house on the “D” side. E49-2 crew deployed a 2” attack line to the exterior fire and advanced into the apartment. Truck 49 crew searched the other second floor apartment which was found to be vacant. E46-1 crew provided a second 2” attack line to cover the truck crew and assisted the outside Truck team with laddering. The cause of the fire was from a discarded cigarette and is accidental.
