Firefighters battle 3-alarm house fire in Allentown, Pennsylvania
Ойын-сауық
Allentown responded to a reported house fire around 6:45PM Monday at Furnace and Sycamore Streets Box 3148. Engine 6 reported heavy fire showing blocks away. On arrival, they had live wires down and reported a fully-involved 2-story end-of-row. Engines 6, 4, 9, 14 (F.A.S.T.), Truck 2, Battalion 43 (Hess) was on the box.
Engine 6 and Engine 4 stretched lines and darkened down the bulk of the fire within 15 minutes of arriving. Engine 14, originally the F.A.S.T. company, went to work so Engine 13 came in to replace them as the F.A.S.T.
Once the fire extended to the attic along with all the hot spots, Battalion 43 struck out the second alarm bringing in Engine 10 to fill out that box.
As the fire extended horizontally to exposure D and possibly D2, the Battalion Chief had the 3rd alarm sounded, bringing in the last engine company in the city, Engine 11.
Through mutual-aide agreements with the surrounding volunteer companies, they were called-in to back fill and man the empty fire houses in the city.
Preliminary investigation shows the fire probably started on the stove top. No one was home at the time of the fire. A passer-by called 9-1-1.

Good work filming this Bill. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe!
I love how the firefighter on the roof was obviously thinking outside the box on getting to that area of the upper roof/attic that was burning. And looks like the whole thing had a common attic space?
that dog looked so scared at 16:18
wow, what a catch!
