Our shift ran an alarm call at 1861 Exchange today. This is the long building just to the west of John Warren Field. The alarm turned out to be a dead battery on a home smoke detector. What we discovered in this building is 3 vehicles and an approximately 22 foot full size motor boat on the main floor with a lot of wood and misc. items with heavy fire load. The main floor also has a heavy timber floor in which the gaps get wider as you walk towards the back of the building. On the second floor is an apartment on the north end facing Exchange that is occasionally occupied. This is an FYI so just be aware of this. Thanks
