"This morning, at 3 AM, I arrived to find our life's work, everything my family and I have poured our hearts and souls into, reduced to ashes by a devastating fire," Jose, the owner of Birria los Socios, wrote on Instagram. "The sight of our dreams and hard-earned business engulfed in flames was beyond heartbreaking. "
Firefighters arrived at Birria los Socios a little after 3:15 a.m. after a large inferno consumed a row of commercial buildings in the 3500 block of E. Third Street. Because of the fire's dangerous nature, crews could only battle the flames from outside the shop with ladder pipes and other heavy streams of water.
