    The Cape Coral Fire Department confirmed that a fire at A Plus Roofing on Monday, April 29, was a two-alarm fire that required extensive resources to fight. The fire was particularly dangerous due to the combustible material inside the building, including tar, and required aggressive fire-fighting tactics and a lot of water, officials tell FOX 4.
