Additional crews were called to the scene as the third floor was found to be heavily involved, upgrading the fire to a second and later a third alarm, the initial report says.

Ambulances were later called to take two additional firefighters to the hospital, the report says.

The fire was placed under control as the overhaul began around 1:35 p.m.
