That was one hell of a fire... Those buildings went up like dry kindling. A noble effort by the roof team and aerial crew. That last part looked like a mess with all those hanging wires. They put a good knock on that quickly. Well done men.

Great coverage. Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic footage! Nice work! 👍🏻

amazing video on here tonight great job to all the brother who work on the house

I must say I’ve never seen a structure fire burn so hot, there’s BLUE/WHITE flames leaping above it! Whoa!

Great Footage as always Nick!

I used to live in that neighborhood. My Elementary school is just around the corner from the fire. I later became an Auxiliary Firefighter with Engine Company 229 and often rode with the 35 Battalion and the 11 Division which used to be quartered with Engine 229 and Ladder Company 146.

@@almostsk8terjamie Yes, you are right, this is indeed a tough job! But in the US as well as in Germany, it's one of the jobs society appreciates the most, because people do know that firemen constantly put their own health at risk to save others. As to you, I believe modern medical care & surgery will put you back on your feet again, what may have not been the case some 30 years ago. Seemingly, there are many jobs out there which in the long run have negative effects on one's body. Did you know that even professional musicians who had spent 25 years in the pit suffer from degradations of the spine, hearing loss, and other ailments? Professional football players have to quit at 30 because of multiple injuries. What I want to say here is that you are not alone; there are countless jobs - I would say almost all - that have some kind of long - term effect on us, no matter what we have done! But when you are young, you want that job by pushing aside any aspects that could count against it. All the best, kind regards! Please stay safe & healthy!

That is the reason you often see crews ready with hoses on the street but waiting. They are mostly not waiting on water but on the order.

I know you asked this question about 2 years ago but here is your answer. Box loaded up due to calls means that because the 911 dispatchers are receiving numerous/many calls from citizens reporting a fire, that here is a high likelihood of there not only being an actual fire but that the fire is probably a big one since so many people are calling. So the dispatchers take it upon themselves to send out extra units to the fire right away as opposed to waiting for a chief to get on scene and request the extra units. Hope it makes sense.

Not all water use on fire is meant to extinguish it. I found out sprays / mists / light streams are usually there to cool ambient air. This really helps to keep shooting flames from rising up. That allows fighters to stand in that heat without sweating balls and feeling like they should pass out. (Keeps their gear from melting too.) On a roof like that, it was described to me it's like wearing a fur coat outside when the weather is 110 degrees F, or 33 C. Cooling yourself off 20 degrees F is a godsend of relief.
