[@jurgenkuhlmann9194]

The lightweight construction of the fire building might have saved lives, as it renders the buildup of high pressure impossible. Just like the wooden barracks used for the production of fireworks. At 17:00 we can see what is left of the building after the blast: windows and walls blown out, just the vertical 2 x 4s left.

@@MusicLoverPearson Hey. Thanks for your well thought out response. I am not sure if you are aware but it IS possible to comment on the quality of this account's work without it suggesting I am happy that someone lost their life. Many of these accounts provide a great service for the media and fire departments. Many of them will review these videos for debrief and training purposes. You will notice that the fire department allows significant access for this videographer because they are well known and they are there to provide value. If you care to, you can go back and reread my comment in order to understand that just because someone says they like apples, it doesn't mean they hate all other fruit. Your comment has been reported and I've taken the liberty of blocking. Enjoy your future time in KZbin purgatory. Not everyone is an "idiot" in this world.

Great job by the FD. I saw a natural gas main fire once. A backhoe or something had hit the main in the street, and it was like a 75-100 foot high blow torch blasting up furiously from the middle of the road. Anyway, these days with appliances and such being made not to last, but to fail so they can be replaced sooner, I wonder if residential explosions will increase.

[@enid0mom]

@@Og-Judy This shows how attached residential structures are built to confine fire to one unit. An explosion is much more than a fire, so other units were damaged. I think I read that four of the units close to the one with the explosion will have to be demolished. Structural damage is obvious in the unit to the left of the destroyed unit. Police rescued a woman trapped under a sofa on the first floor of the that unit.

[@catdooley4616]

I watched a few of these videos and it amazes me the amount of firemen that show up to these emergencies. I live in a rural area where most of the firemen are volunteers and usually just a handful of men show up to a fire.

[@Scoobawoo]

Thats the difference between city and rural especially if they are a paid city dept. Way more money and resources

[@enid0mom]

If I lived in a rural area far from fire hydrants and water had to be brought in by tanker, I would put in a sprinkler system. I know those systems are expensive, especially if you have to retrofit and existing structure, but could easily pay for itself with a damage prevented in a single fire. Give the vollies plenty of time to get there and establish a water source if the sprinkler doesn’t put the fire completely out. In explosion like this though, it probably wouldn’t make any difference.

[@bobishere6527]

WOW! Judging by the Debris Field both front and rear, "MAJOR GAS EXPLOSION" was an understatement. What a mess!!!!

[@nomerc3608]

@@Og-Judy Judy, Natural gas has a very distinct smell! From the looks of the debris ands how far they traveled… both in the front and rear of this one unit. I personally believe it wasn’t a gas fire. Also watch the video very closely again. ATF does not show up for gas fires. They don’t use dogs smelling around in gas either! As you watch it listen to the one leader screaming for everyone to clear the one building and then for the others to get off the rooftops! Yes gas aided in the destruction! Also look for the one middle wall that the entire wall was bent in the same all the way down that wall separating the units! The top of the entire wall was blew out! But what do I know?

Even with their state of the art radio communication system, this highlights the issues with multiple radios on the same frequency. I'm NOT saying they are doing anything wrong, they aren't, it's just confusion in situations like this with all the radio traffic.

The drone screen is the money shot, the SA the thermals provide is game changer for command. More tech needs to be ingested into fire services. Great command sees it, end state should be for crews to see via displays in masks face pieces as well.

Oh my! You really don't appreciate the power of a natural gas explosion until you get a detailed look at the main damage zones. Steel framing buckled, doors buckled and blown off, doors warped in their frames, total collapse, leaning buildings, and the massive damage to the vehicles 70 to 100 feet away.

I worked for a large gas utility and obliteration are rare. Collapse is the big issue. If your close or in the direct area inside a structure. You will get one he'll of a story for your grandkids. In the 90s I was In front of a hell of alot buildings ready. We would pull up, then set up and drill and test every hole till we located broken main. 3 to a crew. Then we had to dig and repair main. I Fn loved the adrenaline rush. We were the only ones In front of house. If it went u no what. We were probably visiting the all mighty because we were outside of boom and would of caught kinetic energy. I am talking from Dec to Mar at least 1 or 2 a day for almost a decade. Our system was one of the oldest cast iron main system. They were close to and over 100yrs old. A city North of that area had that major gas situation. I have only made 1 video a couple of days after and it explained what happened. People couldn't view it for over a year. Most of the system is plastic now. The incident could of been prevented but new top management stopped the reg department from being on site

[@kennethsrensen7706]

Thats really horrible , I fell sad for those living there . I have observed that in the last few years we see more and more gas explotions all over the world . Usually they all started using gas as energy source many many years ago and this lead to many underground pipes being very old and in bad maintenace , also many old houses have bad installations too . But even brand new houses seem to suffer from this too ... So question is - Are the new installations simply being made to cheap ? ( read bad quality , money saving ) New installations set up in areas with old pipelines ect , with bad maintennace and simply being cheap as usual to save cost and thus increase profit ? Well the buyer of those houses they really do not save anything in the end as it is as usual sold as expensive as they can get away with ( thus increase Profit to their greedy pockets ) of course on the cost of safety to those who end buy it . Is this caused by NOT qualified technicians to do maintennace / installations / service ect ? ( to save money ) Or simply a combination of it all ? List could go on and on but I think you get the picture . Sadly what is so real is there is an increase of gas explotions in past few years . ( we have to go back before the 1950ties to get same amount , before safety was being improved ) Personally I can not live in a house with gas , I wont feel safe at all . Yes I now electric malfunction can be a danger too , but at least doesnt explode like this .

Wonder if the super or landlord cut corners and illegally tapped into a gas main. There is another video of a NEST cam across the street that captured the explosion. Blew a huge amount of the building 20 feet into the air. That had to be a lot of gas build up fast because some of it should have escaped through crevices. It seemed the apartment filled up fast until it pressurized before ignition.

Many times when there is a gas explosion? It’s from someone not licensed tinkering with gas lines. Many times it’s from theft of service. Some people think theft of service is no big deal? This is the result sadly.

Exactly what happened here last year straight after the plumber fitted kitchen gas line, it blow the house to bits, the plumber was charged with the explosion, I can't remember if any deaths but definitely many injuries around the neighborhood,

[@skipd9164]

This is no an race comment. In a lot of undeveloped countries theft of energy is common. If someone takes the end plug off the gas service. 60 psi will roar into house. Then there is absolutely nothing they can do. Hopefully utility will arrive and shut gas off on sidewalks. Then a control vent procedure will start. No worries unit gas level goes between 5 percent to 15 percent

[@tjlovesrachel]

@@skipd9164 if they have tools to take a plug or cap off…they can shut the valve

[@skipd9164]

@@tjlovesrachel alot of people don't know about the different pressures that can used . Low pressure you don't need to turn service off to jump in a new piece of pipe. Intermediate, you should shut service value but a good tech can put a plug in and I've done it off the main but never in a building. High pressure, once you loosen a fitting before you get to the last turn it spins off and your screwed. I and street crew members have jumped in a hp shut off in the street at service t. If you watch a fire department putting out a fire hp is just below the presure in hose. Now back to my point. When Brazil wanted to host either WORLD cup or Olympics they need to upgrade their electric distribution network. In some areas there were hundreds of illegal hookups at poles and this was through out the network. Some people see an inside gas service and think nobody will ever know. They might drop the meter and put a bypass. FYI. If you have a meter thats read electronic devices it shows a disconnect next time it's read. If you disconnect any fitting below the regulator. Before you get to turn last thread it will shoot off and before you reach the stairs your house is full of gas and your lucky. It's when the gas is shut off at the service valve outside that you need to worry. When inside reads get to 15% you start worrying until below 5%. I have been in over a 100 situations like this and we never lost one. It wasn't until KZbin I realized what could of happened. In the 80s an 90s we never called the FD and if they came they sat in truck down the street. Protocol has drastically changed for the better. Most people don't know what presure the main in the street has.

Natural gas is a very good fuel and there is a very good supply of it. Natural gas is also a very dangerous fuel! Underground natural gas lines have in some locations been there in excess of fifty ago and a good portion of the piping is iron pipe. With all of the underground movement of the pipe creates many leaks. A lot of gas leaks are caused by companies digging for other types of underground utilities. Making natural gas usage safer for everyone is a huge task and has many areas that need help.
