Companies entered the bldg for an interior attack, but were unable to reach the "C" "D" corner of the bldg from interior due to that end of the bldg already in danger of collapse. Numerous handlines were in svc with truck companies opening the roof on the "B" "C" side of the bldg. Eventually all crews had to back out of the bldg for an exterior attack due to heavy fire conditions. 1 F/F fell thru the 1st floor to the basement, was transported to the hospital and returned to the f/g.
