Fully involved house fire in Uxbridge, Massachusetts
Ойын-сауық
Shortly after 4p on Memorial Day, multiple calls rang into the dispatch center reporting a house fire on Linwood St.
With heavy smoke showing from a distance, companies knew they would be going to work. The house was well involved upon arrival and a 2nd alarm was immediately struck.
Neighbors helped get an occupant out of one side of the duplex. Nobody was home on the other side. A dog and 2 cats perished.
The fire was brought under control in about an hour.

Wow, That Was A Bad One, Happy Everyone was Safe. Great work Brother. The Dizzy One.
That's to bad that a couple of beloved pets were lost 😢 But a good thing that all occupant were able to get out in time and praise to the nabborors who were able to help get one of the residents out. Thank you to all firefighters everywhere for protecting the citizens of your coverage area.
Definitely too late to do much when you arrive and it's that bad. You know it will take several engines and a good water supply when the flames tornado out of the windows.
Just another reason to NEVER live in a duplex, one side catches fire,your side is also gone!

Always buy renters insurance, if its available, especially for a wooded construction building.

It was the explosion from the propane grill that was on our back deck that blew out the fence.
I am amazed that white car in the driveway didn't catch. Given the amount of collapse evident on the Charlie side, I would have thought a wider collapse zone would have been established. The interior attack on the Alpha side through the front doors seemed an unnecessary risk, given the apparent total loss. Great coverage, Sparky!

Great vid!
I'm guessing the house was also older because of how fast that seemed to burn. Wow, good video as well I hope owner's get through this ok.

Houses made with modern materials burn much faster than ones built with legacy materials. The difference tends to be in construction method. Older homes tend to lack fire stops in the walls, or those stops have been cut through for plumbing, hvac, electrical, etc.

@@whowey100 I would think the wood would be much drier in older homes then newer. Newer homes (in the past few decades) use light construction, where roof trusses, etc. use webbed nail plates which are inferior to using traditional nailing methods. These nail plates will completely fail when exposed to fire, causing roof collapse.

This is our home. It was over 100 years old, it had been in our family for generations.
Sad😭
Don't see Uxbridge's Avenger anywhere on scene. Was it there?
@sparkywfd I'm glad they got the human out yet the 'babbies' didn't make it. I hope the smoke got to them first and not the fire. 😿It's always my first question when watching things like this. "did everyone (incluging pets)make it out?" Thank you for answering before I asked.
When a structure is so far gone why bother to try to extinguish the fire..just let it go.

Because our pets were inside.
Seems to be a lot of fires are happening in that area.
the house was 4 house away from me😮
It must have been an impressive looking house. In the end it was just a cheap 2x6's and plastic matchbox. It is unbelievable why people in the USA accept those third world living conditions.
good save
🌊🔥🌊
That looked like a bad fire
Sad very sad hope someone had took them in Thanks to our heros the firemen You guys need a pay of thousands of dollars like the ones in sports
heat aware
A tarp on the car would have been good. It was perhaps the only thing to be saved at this point.

Why so it can melt all over the car?
Has to be 500 degrees in those suits
So, when you build that dream home, make sure it's WAY out in the middle of nowhere, so far away the FD has to use GPS to find it. Also, make sure there are no hydrants within reach.

Joke fire department. No master streams - only two 2.5" lines for fully involved fire. Looks like they saved the chimney.
That House is a Total Loss and I hope the people are ok .
2deck guns and return the other town this is a joke
