Engine 73 and Chief 7B arrived on location, laying a supply line in to the scene, with a 20 X 20 Pole Barn ,full of rough cut lumber, fully involved with extension to two vehicles and a pile of debris. Chief 7B established the "Hollywood Command" and requested the assignment be upgraded to a full Box.

The assignment was upgraded adding Engine 1, Engine 3, Squad 3, Tower 9, EMS Station 79 and 19.
