![[Hot Shot Photo 2]](dwdw20b.gif) One resident's
apartment was also destroyed by the fire on the second floor of the Town and
Campus Barber Shop. Upon arrival of E1-2, the resident was vacating the
building as smoke had filled her apartment. Fire had quickly spread
throughout this building as well. Although the fire was extinguished in
this building, the building had to be demolished later. The couch from the
second floor apartment can be seen in this photo.
