    This young man is very smart and obviously driving trains will be his destiny. Easy to see you were so excited and had bonded very quickly with the driver. Cheerish the moment, work hard to make it happen. I hope I live long enough to see you in the seat of your dream job. Cheers from a yoti in Australia 👍😁

    Just for context I try to reply to y’all’s comments cause I was the kid in the video! But I did love this moment and I will never forget it. The crew were super friendly to me and treated me like I was a very important part to the operation of the whole thing! The conductor was my favorite guy he gave me a tour of the locomotive shop and let me on the front of the locomotive while it was moving and he told me “ I usually don’t let people do it. But you are special your a vip” his exact words very awesome people and I give respect for there volunteering when they don’t have to!

    Doubt anyone commenting here was at this fire or knew what the IC’s plan was. If there were FFs doing an internal attack then using an elevated stream could subject those members to being steam scalded - no thanks. We only got to see two sides of the bldg so without knowing the variables it’s conjecture at best. I know three things for certain, the roof needs replacing, Lexington Fire has nice equipment & last, the ladder involved with the power line isn’t going to pass inspection. Hope those residents had renters insurance, it’s cheap comparatively speaking and will protect you from someone else’s bad day.

They had 2 ladder trucks on my side a 3rd ladder on the opposite side with engines feeding them. They were fighting it internal until I got there then they pulled crews out. Shortly thereafter the ff dropped the ladder on powerlines can't really say anything else I'm not a firefighter. Can't hear what they are discussing via scanner so I your alls guesses are as good as mine. I just filmed it so for those that want to criticize the vid just move along lol
