Still firefighters on duty at 10 PM, including one ladder truck with the ladder extended over the roof area about the center of the building.

In the midst of this tragedy, some real heros. Alton FD and other departments from as far away as Rochester and Barrington. Ernie Gillan got a small boat into the water, but the power of the water hoses made it impossible to hold in one position. I heard they finally were able to get a line on a piling on shore, and do a fair job with I think one hose. (Alton fire boat came out of the water this past week!). Thanks to the firefighters local and mutual aid, the volunteers who helped any way they could, and thank goodness there doesn't seem to be any serious injuries relating to the fire.
