Three Alarm Fire In CH

There was a three alarm fire in CH today at the corner of Hamilton and the Blvd. The call came in around noon and when units arrived they had heavy fire and smoke showing. The fire was Yongs Hair Salon and the apartments above this business. Fire units from CH, Chesterfield, Petersburg, and FT Lee battles the blaze for hours. The blaze took about two hours to bring under control, and they did a very good job in keeping the fire to spreading to the building next door which was very close two the structure that was on fire. Les was on seen for several with the police deprtment helping with traffic control. No one was seriously injured in the fire, one firfighter suffered a broken finger though. The temp was very warm today here and they were probably lucky that no firefighters suffered heat exhastion with magnitude of the fire. MICKEY
