So half the combined PD and sherrif's department attend just to gawp, leaving just one deputy to do all the traffic control.

Alot of pd responded due to evacuation orders of the houses in the area

[@Wildbill980]

PD will arrive, get out of their vehicle which will be conveniently parked right where fire vehicles need to be and walk away from their vehicles………typical. I once asked a police officer that did that at a fire scene how much water his vehicle held, he responded “it’s a police car, we don’t have water” to which I told him exactly!!! Get out of the way

[@norcalfireresponsevideos9120]

Sick! Try not to talk in the video because it doesn't help the quality of the video.

[@sb9incidents]

You should simplify the same. Change it to “construction site fire” or something along the lines of that

[@mrsocal09]

Great catch!

[@ScannerJunkie]

Where is the video of the fire?

[@SMCFirePhotography]

Check my instagram there is some photos

[@planestrainsandcrashes1188]

Parking on railroad tracks seems like a really bad idea.

[@thomasbohannan2699]

They call the railroad and have them shut the tracks down, just as an FYI.

[@SMCFirePhotography]

Those tracks on middlefeild have been out of service for a long time

[@JohnGoglia-s6o]

Nobody droppings supply lines

[@SaltyFireBuff]

The guy filming in the median should be wearing a safety vest. As an active fire buff for 25 years, trust me, its better to be safe than sorry and proper gear is always important. Great video. stay safe.

[@awsomealex_kill7940]

Agreed, what my chief tells us is "Where your safety vests and if you get hit its not your fault because you have your vests on"

And the flag on his shirt is backward. Blue field should be upper left.

More cops than fire engine's

[@charleskadletc2431]

I eas a former VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER. On new construction its usually stored lumber and or some one torched the building.

[@SMCFirePhotography]

The cause of the fire was somthing in the wall caught fire on the 5th floor of the building and spreaded due to all the gas from the torches

[@harrisonwilkens5549]

Theres no such thing as an 8th alarm fire

[@SMCFirePhotography]

You have been corrected my man its not every year that you see a 8 alarm fire
