Engine 7 High Rise Ride

Take a ride with one of the busiest Engine houses in Memphis. Engine 7 makes multiple calls to many multi-story buildings. Just a few months before this segment was captured on video, two members from Engine 7 died in an arson fire at high rise building. Their heroic sacrifice was always on the minds of the members of Engine 7.
Emergency FD videos documents the work of fire and ems first responders. Producer Tom Mann spent 10 years documenting the work of fire departments in and around the Memphis area.

Was this recorded at the former University Towers (now known as the Venue on Central Ave)? I live nearby and it seems like every few weeks the MFD is called there for something. I don't know if it's automatic alarms, elevator alarms, or phone calls bringing them there. I've been inside before and it looks very similar to the video except for paint color. It's a very eerie place.

I think it was University Towers. This was in 1994 and not to long after two firefighters died in a fire at 750 Adams....responding to an automatic alarm. It was on the mind of every firefighter on Engine 7..... Always automatic alarms for the 7's. It was a workout to climb those stairs.

Sounds like simplex 4050 horns. Very cool sound!
