Working building fire at DJ's Variety Store.

Where is BJ's variety store?

Between 4 and Southern Middle is what they said.

I wonder if it's "CJ's" not "BJ's" ... CJ's is on HG Truman near Rousby Hall.

Called for 2nd alarm. Call for additional tankers. Chief called for defensive attack only -- no interior attack. Calling for ladder type defensive attack.

This is not in the training channel, either.

I was thinking CJ's too. But the dispatcher kept saying BJ's. It's probably CJ's. They were evacuating the building.

Oh....That's the old DJ's market.

the old ethnic owned general store or is that even still there ?

It's been vacant for a couple years (maybe 5)

It said the store was closed down, they did not know if anyone lived in the apartment upstairs or not.

Is this the place that is just up the street from the Frying Pan on the opposite side of the road from the Frying Pan?

Fire marshall in route. 20 minute eta.

Sounds like fully involved... side "D" showing fire. Report earlier of heavy fire showing.

Yes...Its right before you get to BGE field. It was called DJ's

Hubby just called. He is on the way to pick up our son. He just drove by the fire...he said it's bad.

Little fire left in the loft

kinda' sad - a historic landmark sorta'

Apparently there was a dance at Southern Middle and all those people are trying to get their kids, so there is a traffic nightmare too.

Realtor for the building said that the apartment was vacant. Fire Dept calling for refreshments.

Yep....Hubby said the traffic is backed up.

I forgot about the buses. The people that own the building have tour buses that they park right next to the store.

My hubby is one of the firefighters that is fighting the fire, it sounds bad. Hoping no one gets hurt, one good thing, they are fighting the fire from outside only.

Yes, thank goodness they did fight it from outside. Much safer.

Running out the door he grabbed his camera, so I may have so pics.

Fire is under control

Whew! Glad to hear that.

Whew! Glad to hear that.

Sounds like their biggest problem right now is the traffic, can't get the trucks in and out. Some may have to leave to go get more water.

Hubby just called, they are cleaning up now, should be about another hour and they should be out of there.

Glad to hear no injuries.

He didn't mention any and I'm sure he would have told me, most of the firefighters there are friends of ours.
