    I live in a small town in southern Germany. One morning I drive through town on my way to work. I thought the chimney in a house smokes heavily though. When I looked more closely, I noticed that the roof truss was on fire. I stopped immediately and called the fire department. I immediately rang the bell at the house and was able to wake up and rescue 15 people. I was a fireman myself and knew immediately what to do. Some people don't dare to intervene or they just don't care. Even worse they film everything. In Germany, the filming of accident victims now costs a fine of €300.

    A 66 year old woman and the home's two pet cats were tragically lost in this fire. From what I read in a shorter video, the woman who rolled out of the home at the beginning of this was screaming mom, it was her mother. My mom is the same age and she is everything to me, truly my entire world. I wouldn't be able to go on another day if this happened to her.

    So many negative comments about how horrible that fire department is... too long to respond, firemen just walking around slowly, etc. FYI - that is a small, rural town, and the nearby fire departments are all volunteer or paid/on call, and they probably all responded from their homes or jobs. They don't have the manpower, equipment or training that full-time fire departments have. Give them a break. There are many, many rural communities all over the U.S. who are in the same situation, because the make-up of the rural areas don't have the tax infrastructure to support what larger towns and cities are able to provide.

    She may have been out feom the smoke before the fire moved anywhere near her. As fast as that went up... the houses need to be rebuit in that area. Too dangerous. At least get sprinkler systems and detectors hardwired in, to give them a chance to escape. But old houses... not sure if all owners can be convinced to pay the cash, or if they even have it. Amazed any of the building is still standing and didn't fall on anyone.

    10 minutes from the first possible 911 call (a car slowed down, they possibly noticed and called) to the first water on the fire. That's an amazing response time. Our local FD volunteers are likely up to 7 miles from the station and cover about the same distance. So that's 911 call, dispatcher relays info to FD, FD seems out the alarm to all volunteers, they stop what they're doing, maybe even have to get dressed, get in their car, haul ass up to 7 miles to the fire department, get in gear, get on the truck, haul ass up to 7 miles to get to the fire, drop the hose... as I said, 10 minutes is amazing. When you're sitting here watching it from first flame, yeah, it seems painfully slow, but it's the best anyone could possibly do.

    5 minutes from ignition to fully engulfed is the average time according to one of my lessons awhile ago at my fire department. This video really supports that concept, it used to be 30 minutes in the 80s or so for refference.

    All the construction contractors are interested in lighter weight materials. Those particle board I-beams for example. Less material, more surface area, less burn time required to destroy it. Hopefully one day contractors will start thinking less about the cost of material, and more about survivability in the event of a fire.

Now imagine a house filled with stuff like that. I can't remember if insulation is to blame as well, makes it hotter in the house due to keeping the heat inside and things reach their ignition points faster. That one isn't anyone's fault that's just thermodynamics. If you want I can ask at my meeting next Tuesday.

    @@kgbiggie9871 This absolutely. I've seen a number of different structure fires in my time, and as an electrician I've also done a number of retrofits on a variety of different structures. Some of the scariest structures are the unmodified century-old homes, as they have hollow spaces between the walls with no insulation whatsoever, no fireproofing whatsoever, and the wood is extremely dry from simply existing for over 100 years. These houses also sometimes have outdated wiring which at this point is so dangerous that many insurance companies won't insure a house with it. But in short, with the empty spaces inside the walls, a fire that gets inside the walls can basically consume the entire house within a few minutes, and just like how dry firewood burns a lot better than wet firewood, the house will burned super hot super quickly. What's also scary these days is, surprisingly, _modern_ homes. Although they have a ton of fireproofing, and even though it's hard to accidentally set a fire in one, what people don't realize is that the fireproofing chemical makeup includes - if I'm not mistaken - hydrocarbons. So even though it takes a really intense heat to start a fire in a modern home, once it starts, it becomes extremely stubborn and very difficult to fight. I have seen such homes get so hot that they actually caused neighboring homes to catch fire just from the residual heat alone. That being said, I would still prefer being in a modern home because it would still take time for that fire to reach that point, and I would have a lot more time to escape. Homes like this scare the crap out of me.

    You may be correct but in saying it took 10 minutes to arrive but that’s 10 minutes after the fire was first visible in the lower corner window The fire wasn’t visible to the exterior until 2:30 assuming no one called it in from the inside of the house this would be the first time it would be noticeable Assuming someone called it in at that point subtract a minute to 2 minutes to take and dispatch the call Then you’re down to 6 minutes Subtract a minute to minute and a half for dressing and turning out your down to 4-5 minutes and 5 minutes travel time from the station to the scene Theres 10 minutes I’d say they did an excellent job responding The fire department can’t control how long it takes to get notified nor can they control the distance that they have to go to get to the scene

    It's also a small fire department, with a mix of career and volunteer, covering 3 villages. I'd say their response time was pretty damn good, assuming it took several minutes before anybody called (it looks like the UPS driver was one of the first to stop). Obviously career showing up first, with the on-call vollys getting there as soon as they could. And a balloon frame house. You may as well have gasoline in your walls, they go up FAST. You pretty much go into a defensive attack immediately unless you catch it in the first minute.

    This video reminds me of an experience I had driving my school bus down a residential street back in 1976 in Kalamazoo, Michigan. It was just after I had dropped my high school kids off and I spotted smoke coming out under the eaves of a one story home. I stopped but everyone else was just driving by. I ran up and opened the side door to the neighbors house where a car was in the driveway and I see a guy sitting there nonchalantly drinking his morning coffee. I told him to call the fire department as the house next to him was on fire. I asked him if he knew if anyone was home as I ran back outside. He didn't know so I quick looked in the attached garage to see if there were any vehicles but there weren't any. I then kicked a locked entry door to the house open but as soon as I did thick smoke poured out and I could hear the fire picking up with the influx of air. I yelled got no response and closed the door but noticed clear air under the smoke. I guess I could have crawled under if I heard someone. I then ran back next door and got the neighbors garden hose and sprayed some water where the smoke was coming out under the eaves, of course that was worthless. The fire department got there probably about 5 minutes after the call. I handed the neighbor his garden hose said he might want to soak his house down. As I left I saw one fireman charge out of the fire truck with an axe to break out the windows, while others uncoiled hoses and a couple others geared up to go in. I was now a few minutes late for my elementary school pickup so I took off. Later returned after my run to tell the police that I was the one that kicked in the side door. Guess no one was home thankfully.

    If anyone is complaining about the response time of the fire department a quick Google search gives the answer. People are saying it took the fire department way too long. I am putting the first 911 call at 4:43pm on the time showing in the video. From the time the phone rang until the dispatcher answered and got all the information was probably 45 seconds, then when the dispatcher dispatched the call to the closest fire house and the bell went off at the station probably took another 45 seconds. So we are at a minute and a half. The firefighters had to stop what they were doing then run to the truck, maybe another 30 seconds, then they had to get into their turnouts, which the goal is to get into them in under 30 seconds. So we are at 2 minutes and 30 seconds. You can see the first fire truck to pull up says Turner Falls on it. From the exact address of the house to the fire station in Turner Falls is 3.3 miles away, Google is saying the drive time is 6 minutes. The fire truck pulled up at 4:50, which is 7 minutes after the first 911 call. That's a damn good response time.

You have to wait on instructions. Back then we knew what to do without being told. When had officers I was a Lieutenant. We saved houses that State Investigators said by all rights the house should have been ashes. In no way am I saying we were the best we just didn't have to be told every move to make.

    So if people are mad watching this because the FD took so long to get there. By CAR the drive is 6 minutes long, firetrucks go over the speed limit so that's about 5 minutes from the Turners Falls Fire Department (first firetruck on scene). The firefighters in the area are volunteers meaning they need to get dressed, haul ass to the fire station, get in their gear, get in the truck then drive to the scene. Millers Falls area is a rural area. That whole part of Massachusetts is. In reality they responded and got there VERY quickly. I checked the news for this fire and found that the Turners Falls Fire Department MIGHT'VE not been the only department to respond. I'm from the area and believe if more than 1 department responded then the next closest one is Greenfield (A town over from Turners Falls), which from there the drive to the fire is about 14 minutes. "Brunelle told Western Mass News the home appears to be a complete loss and crews from his department, along with several other communities, were on-scene for upwards of ten hours attempting to put out the flames" I suggest if you want more information about it just search the title of the video the town, type of fire and the date.

It was fully engulfed by the time we arrived with fire dept in tow, who had been given the wrong address. Wasn't there fault but was still hard to see so many firefighters just standing in our yard doing nothing. But again not their fault. They all felt horrible and took up money for us and the next week brought us $5,000 that was much needed and so appreciated we both broke down and cried.

You get on your knees like they say to do and there is more air and less smoke but theres also absolutely no light. Pitch black from the floor to where the smoke is hovering. So you still can’t find the door. Once i finally got out and got my dogs out i had lost all my possessions and i was homeless.

Dropped cigarette from falling asleep while smoking), or on the upper floors. The sheer amount of heat to create that amount of fire so early on would have literally cooked that poor lady alive. 🥺 Unless the fire department was literally only a block away, I don't think the outcome would have been any different, unfortunately. 🥲

    Apparently there were misspellings, but it was indeed a woman and not a man who was killed in the fire. There was a six year old boy in the house at the time of the fire and a neighbor rescued him and possibly one other person, but when they attempted to get to the room where the grandmother was, the room was engulfed in flames and he had to get himself out before he was trapped by the fire. Janelle Verchot was interviewed by the press because her mother was not emotionally able to speak to them.

The gear makes us top heavy and we’d be tripping all over the place if we run, plus we can’t see the ground with a mask on. We move quickly and carefully. So learn something before you rip on the FD.

    Exactly. Unfortunately. Can't believe that someone was saying that they should sue because it took them 10 minutes. I can't drive to my own local fire department in my personal vehicle in 10 minutes doing the speed limit even in the middle of the night - and I live in the geographic center of my city!

    This video is a great example to show in real time how fast fire can spread throughout a frame house. There’s no doubt that the house had modern day furniture in it as well. There was a demonstration showing how quickly a living room flashover can occur with modern day furniture as opposed to old vintage furniture (1950s or earlier). It took the living room nearly 30 minutes to flash over with old furniture and 3-4 minutes in the modern furniture living room. 30 minutes after the start of this video (from when the flames were not even noticeable) the entire house was already charred both inside and out and the fire fighters were spraying at the hot spots that were still on fire. I could not believe how fast the fire spread. The materials in that house were like fuel in a solid form.

The house was already fully enveloped in flames when Fire/Rescue arrived, so given that, I think the fire department did an outstanding job, from the fast arrival time, to getting the fire under control, to preventing further damage to the surrounding properties. RIP to the person who lost their life.😢

    If you live in a house, make sure each floor has a smoke detector, which actually talks to the others too. So if there is a fire in the basement, and you are sleeping on the second floor, you will still be woken up by loud noise. Most house are hardwired, if not get a battery operated ones which still talk to others, even have wifi. Skip a few restaurant meals, invest in smoke detectors.

  • @anthonyrobison4423

    This is how fast a fire spreads very rapidly this is why you need smoke Detectors in each room and have a monitored fire alarm that notifies the fire department as soon as the smoke starts because seconds makes a big difference please make sure your smoke Detectors have batteries and consider getting a fire alarm that is monitored by alarm company.

Really shouldn't have gone back inside at that point, but I understand fully why she did. Hard to watch everything that you know in your life going up in flames. Your home, your memories, and your family... I hope she has awesome friends who can help you through the hard times ahead. Wasn't her fault that her 66 year old mother didn't make it. If she had gone into the house further, it's unlikely that she would've made it out herself. Any word on the cause of the fire?

I wonder if they saw the fire before people started yelling and knocking to warn them? Also, electrical smell? I wonder if it was a space heater. I had a friend once who had their cord melt so badly that one of the prongs ended up separating from the wire, leaving itself embedded in the socket. They are so dangerous, and people should only be using the radiator-type.
