A 2nd Alarm structure Fire broke out early this morning, 12:12am, rendering the homes living area a total loss. Firefighters were on scene in less that 3 minutes to find a condo in a fire blaze. Occupants stated they saw the Christmas tree start on fire and quickly went into their fathers room to get him out of the house. The son carried his paraplegic father to the backyard where Fire crews discovered his location after being told someone was trapped inside the house. The father was taken to the hospital for minor injuries. Fire Crews worked extremely hard to extinguish the blaze and prevent the fire from spreading to near by homes. The roof collapsed a short time after the fire had started and fire operations changed from offensive to a defensive mode where no one was allowed inside because of the probability of further collapse. The fire was under control an hour into the incident.
