I spoke to Alan at Monarch Hardware this a.m. L&I and fire dept. officials were there to look at the buildling. According to him, the apartments upstairs are pretty much a loss. Saad sustained at least water damage, and the hardware store smells badly of smoke but nothing worse than that. He wasn't sure of the extent of damage yet, but said that as far as he knew, everyone got out safely (though we did see one person being wheeled on a gurney toward an ambulance at 45th & Locust). I was told last night that firemen did remove some animals from the building, so hopefully this time all the people and all the animals made it out okay.
