Narrative:
Firefighters were called to a multi-family dwelling on Trailsway for a possible fire on a porch. When Engine Company 10 arrived, they met with an occupant using a charcoal grill on their first-floor balcony. Firefighters advised the grill would need to be moved away from the building as it's not to be used within 10 feet of combustible materials.
