There are 41 condominiums in the complex. Most of the heavy damage is to the third and fourth floors.One Reading firefighter was taken to the hospital as a precaution for heat-related issues."A lot of my old memories, pictures," Connors said."Oh my God, pictures of my kids." Investigators are still trying to figure out where in the building the fire started, and how it began as well.
