Its been 11+ years since this fire. I have to wonder if that 1982 Seagrave 85 foot is still in service (as a reserve)

the Werehouse fire is so hot 🥵 and who knows that they put out the fire in a cold day in Chicago

I never saw the refilling trucks play such a vital role.

Doesn't look like very much training going on here. In Texas, the Commission on Environmental Quality would see through this. They even have a Q&A on this: "There must be a specific benefit to the fire department. Simply preventing the spread of fire from an abandoned building to neighboring property is not considered training. Such burns constitute an attempt to circumvent the Outdoor Burning Rule and are prohibited."

I am sure their burning more than grass and weeds . Black smoke comes from tires or rubber .

Money burns....sad

Anybody know what type & manufacture Squad 5 is (was)?

My dads place burned down with him inside luckily a neighbour pulled him out. The place was gutted ! All down to a fan heater. Surely the 6 men stood around could of been hosing it down on this one.

No Snorkel?

I am amazed that the building codes still allow buildings to be built with cardboard and toothpicks. The people living in a building like that have no idea how unsafe the building is.

manse-rt roofs are WELL KNOWN for spreading fast moving fires!! A good example was the fire in Prospect heights where they lost 3 buildings. America has lousy building codes!!. They ought to start going to these HIGH RISK older buildings whenever they have to do a roof make them install fire stops in the the triangle space that fire love so much while the shingles are off.

Mansert roofs

Plenty of water in the swimming pool of the million dollar house surrounded by no hydrants.....😂😂

Never went to a fire that didn't go out......no matter how bad the Fire was fought.....😂😂

Great capture of teamwork. Hope they got the guy out safe and sound.

Funny a hazmat fire and CFD isn't wearing scba

The old Goodmans warehouse they also housed parade floats there from 2008-2014

Special call the snorkel 🍆🍆🍆

They have two. What are u talking about

Did the wall ever come down?

They need a Snorkel.

Fricken Mansard roofs… hate em!

Why are there no hydrants?

Terrible day for sure.. If they had their instruments working they could have saved the plane... I guess by now there are redundant systems... If there is any bright spots, it's the improvement afterwards...

I was in the house when the fire broke out and I noticed the smoke coming from the roof of the garage, im glad everyone made it out safe. It was traumatic to see decades of hard work taken from a family so dear to me.

And no hydrants? They're law in most places. Lots of nicer houses like that have sprinkler systems to boot. Tick another spot of where NOT to live.

This was the worst FF I have seen this chief and the FF are terrible

Its been 7 years since this was filmed. I have to wonder if that old seagrave reserve snorkel is still being used.

Anniversary torch job

Rest In Peace Anthony. I miss you and your smile. I lived in Crown King, AZ and worked with Anthony with the Fire Department. One of the nicest guys I've ever known. God Bless from a former Mill Creek Hotshot (1974, 75, 76) and Prescott Hotshot (1987, 88) current Park Ranger at the Granite Mountain Hotshots Memorial State Park in Arizona.

Nice job Buffalo Grove. Thank you

How scary!

What a shame. This fire begged for a tanker operation that was likely not possible to achieve. Anyone know cause?

What a fine job regarding containment. With a neighborhood not having its own emergency water source, the strategies that were undertaken to guarantee the best possible outcome was well documented.

I lived in the apartment right across the street from the fire. We didnd have to evac but parking for my mom was a bitch cus of this. I remember not believing her when she woke me up before school telling me there was a fire thinking she was just saying it to get me out of bed for school cus she knew i loved fire trucks and firefighters lol

That was a great job on supply water they looked like they we very organized.

My house is really close to this. Our house and cars are covered in debris and ashes still. Whole neighborhood smells like burnt plastic.

The scary thing was this was in my neighborhood

Do you know. How it happen

Please pray for them, they are my cousins. That was their house.

Arson

No hydrants????? Think they would have thought about that before building

A beautiful house, gone. So sorry for the family. My heart goes out to them.

I've never seen this done before.

Whose been smoking in lavatory,???

Great video thanks for sharing

You like the only person to rec this

I was there. I think I saw you recording! It was scary.

I went down there to bring the police and firefighters coffee and doughnuts and it was still smoking

No entiendo esos bomberos se quedan brazos cruzados sin hacer nada pierden casa antes apagar fuego si fuera su casa o familiar seguro si la apagan no lo entiendo
