Earlier today 2 N/E ofcrs were transported for smoke inhalation after responding to structure fire in Glassell Park. Engulfed in flames as officers attempted to get inside but forced out by heat & smoke. I’m grateful our people will be ok & proud of their bravely & dedication. pic.twitter.com/vizws2TegF
