Buffalo (NY) firefighters were kept busy October 28, 2014, battling a fast-moving four-alarm fire at 463 Howard.

First-arriving companies reported a 30 x 120 two-story brick warehouse with fire showing from the windows on the #4 side.

The fire was fought defensively using five tower ladders, numerous 2 1/2-inch handlines, and Blitz fire nozzles. Command ordered companies located in the front of the building to reposition and were clear when the #1/#4 corner collapsed into the street.

Strong winds and water supply problems hampered firefighting efforts.
