Car 9 arrived and directed a line to cool a "bobtail" fuel oil truck which was directly involved, Engine 9 and Ladder 3 were requested 9 minutes into the incident. Engine 9 "caught the plug" at 5th and Richmond sreets and supplied engine 11. Upon the extra personnels arrival, a second and third line were stretched to attack the main body of fire.
