By the time the two on the roof were almost done with cutting a hole in the roof, smoke was pouring out of the eaves and dormers caught fire, causing several exit points around the roof to catch fire. The group had to crawl down from the roof despite being able to provide ventilation. "Stockton firefighters are committed to an aggressive interior attack, and our truck companies believe that if the engine is going in for fire attack- then the truck should go up for vertical ventilation," Stockton Firefighters said in a Facebook post. No injuries were reported.
