This fire reminds me of the Beverly Hills Supper Club fire back in the 70s, both buildings had no sprinkles or alarms.

I lived in the neighborhood behind and on the corner and we saw black smoke out our back window. I grabbed my camera and took quite a few shots as we walked around the front and side of the building. Employees were standing in front of the building at this time, seemingly unconcerned. There was a fence along the side of the building and I held my camera up and over to get some pics. All my photos went to a local news channel right away. We also contributed the photos to the investigation. I will never forget it as long as I live.

Can it be used as a fall arrest backup like the Duck backup device?

Rusty Thomas should be in jail

Why were 9 men sent in to protect furniture?

And where are they now *Google it, I'll wait Exactly Men & women need to pay close attention to this video, it perfectly highlights the difference in the genders. She was in her prime here & missed her window to find her guy. To this day Chris Rock has everything and can have any woman he wants. You gotta know your value

2004, I was asked to help remove debris from our wahmala fire @ fams house to the dump site. WHAT HAPPENED?

It was a different time. We needed a wake up. God bless these men.

I have 1/2" inch stable braid polyester safety rope and I want a rope grab device to use on steep roofs to do roof work I want it to " lock" while I am doing work with both hands in a specific roof location. If I slip and otherwise would slide off the roof. would this device catch my fall and work for me ? I need to walk up and down the roof frequently to get to new places to work. Will the rescuender work if I get a proper harness ?

In an about 8:28 it streaks across the sky in a comm check moment of silence. ❤

I'm 40 years into my career in the fire service and served from probationary firefighter up to Chief of the Department. We are a mainly rural department and one of the busiest in our area and we've been using 5" supply hose since like 1988, our attack lines are all 1 3/4" with high flow nozzles and we sure as hell don't let people drive over our hoses! We have the cops shut them down! Every interior crew has at least one thermal imaging camera and 45 or 60 minute air bottles and a 3-4 person RIT crew ready to go at all times and we're 100% volunteer. It amazes me how it took the lives of 9 firefighters to bring the needed changes to a city department the size of Charleston.

I've never been a FF but I was a LEO and i'll never forget the "shots fired officer down" traffic that came down. Different services but that emotion is still the same and I felt that in my soul hearing the final radio transmissions.

The haunting sound of the pass device’s going off in the background is enough to make you want to cry

The two things that stand out are the lack of concern about a group of missing firefighters and the complete absence of any type of coordinated rescue effort. Was incident command even aware that firefighters had gone missing?

Should’ve just been a defensive strategy and protect exposures or was it during business hours? Terrible loss of our men. I was 8 years old and my dad took us to Charleston a day after and we pulled up to the dilapidated building covered in ash.

Radio traffic quality sounds like it was from the 1950s to 1960s but it was 2007!

The main guy on the radio directing things needs to be a clear talking calm headed person. There is one guy yelling with unclear language and terrible radio discipline that didn't know when to quit

This what happens when they do inspection or the mayor is ur friend and a chief who fed the fire

All people should have been gotten out and then FVCK it let it go!! Just make sure it didn't spread elsewhere. There should have never been firefighters sent in there!! They had just done a walkthrough in 2006 and knew it was, well the first man on scene that was in charge.knew it was a widow maker. There was a million and one places for fire to be hiding in the ceiling. Was it ever confirmed how this fire even started?? Was it from a freaking cigarette??!! Of ALL things!! A God d@mned cigarette?!! Smokers should be allowed to take a few extra 5 minute smoke breaks here And there and non smokers should be allowed to take a few extra 5 minute non smoke breaks here and there. Because they WILL sneak out and smoke. I get it!! I just recently quit a few months ago but I still crave cigarettes. When you're trying to work but you're wanting a cigarette and you still have an hour left before break, you're going to sneak out 🤷🤷 When sneaking they're in a hurry. Cigarettes are usually not put out and just thrown down. Which I can't stand!! I never would throw a cigarette in my own yard let alone someone else

Ok 1 of the 1st things they should have done is vent the front windows when they 1st got there 2nd yes it was a truss roof but if you get there fast enough you can vent it as well . 3rd they should have just concerned themselves with the rear of the building from the outside only

First rule of being an NCO on a combat mission. Head count. Always know where your men are. 15 minutes after the first MAYDAY, they STILL have no idea where an entire engine crew is or isnt. Ding! Dong! Dummies! THEYRE THE ONES WHO CALLED THE MAYDAY

It took 37 minutes to figure out that the supply lines were being continuously being run over by traffic impeding flow?

Her story did not age well.

23:20 and 23:28 Mike French Mayday call I don’t know which firefighter it was at 23:45

Was this all happening on the same tac channel? As soon as the first mayday was heard all traffic should have moved to a secondary radio channel but instead it was a cluster of traffic while there’s a FF down.

Not to burst anyones bubble, but... That number is totally fake. Like, complete bullshit. Its been parroted around so much everyone assumes its legit, but any source that gets even close to saying this is completely unreputable, and any actual scientifc paper completely contradicts this number. Just went down a rabbit hole during an argument and wanted to make sure everyone knew, k bye!

Film Threat brought me!

I really enjoy it, good job.

"Why can't I say please" had me laughing out fucking loud for minutes. Also Film Threat sent me here....sure this has some flaws here n there sound and light wise. But the concept, premise and execution is better then most filler movies now a days. Good work, looking forward to see how your feature movie turns out.

I came here from Film Threat! What did I just watch?! XD Could use some audio and visual improvements.

Film Threat brought me here too. My opinion of Pothole? This is atrocious.

Film Threat brought me here.

Rest in peace 9 firefighters Jesus Loves You

Sad that it took the lives of nine brave firefighters to get Charleston fire departments and Charleston businesses up to code.

R.I.P.

The store somehow did not have a automatic sprinkler system or even Fire Alarms.

They died about 25min in, what they needed to hear wasn't forthcoming "brothers were coming for you, hang in there, were on our way" words no fire-fighter wants to really hear but if its the last transmission it gives peace .... radio communications was appalling, so unprofessional...so many errors of judgement made in moments of panic & desperation when calm thinking was needed...tragic it took 9 lives to make changes that should be routine..RIP Brothers

When she said lockdown I thought she meant Covid then she said jail. LOL

The FF praying…..that was just awful to hear. The fact he sounded to calm. I hope he and his 8 brothers didn’t have to suffer in pain or terror and they had some sense of just falling asleep. I can’t begin to imagine what they and the others had to go through.

I will never forget this day god bless all of the family members of those whom lost their lives espically Billy's family

Man she has an annoying ass voice and demeanor

She needs a talking to by Black Phillip

Good virtual tour! This nice video makes me feel as if I were there! Appreciate your work! Like 1!

the good and old Fanclub

I can't imagine being dispatch or IC on a call like this. I couldn't understand a word that was said. What a helpless feeling and a horrible thing to experience from 2 points of view

I was a volunteer fife fighter back in mid to late 80’s and we had 2 gas engines a rescue squad and an ent ambulance. The only one with a radio was the officer in front right seat. By my time on we had full turnout gear but no pass devices to tell others u were inconpacitated. I was in a few large house fires and a very large new two story vfw hall that was showing flames well through roof by time it was noticed it went to a 5-11 fast. Back then when it snowed it piled up quick. I remember coming off rig and being amazed firefighters were still being sent into a huge open area venue. When it was our time to go in there was no time to be worried. We trained and relied on it. I remember walking straight in for about 5-0 ft and could hear explosions going off and a small orange glow to rear . It was blazing but that’s all we could see. Found out after they pulled the plug and we got takin out that it was the store room and it was so hot that kegs of beer were exploding. Seconds after we were takin out the entire roof collapsed. I will never forget that night and I close my eyes and can picture exactly how this fire took my brothers away. Today it’s all math and way different training.
