Lack of smoke on the 1st floor tells me it might not be
as bad as it might seem on the interior. Volume of
fire ripping (without a lot of smoke) on the 2d floor
may indicate that an acccelerant has been used. Lack
of smoke issuing from the 3d floor may indicate limited
extension of the fire. Trees on the sidewalk may
hamper putting a tower ladder or aerial into service.
Trucks need to concentrate on ventilation and searching
for occupants of the fire building and the exposures.
Without seeing the roof or the rear exposures though,
it's hard to assume much more.
