**MAJOR Fire Destorys HISTORIC Boston Building** 4th Alarm Box 148 -- Fire in the Jacob Wirth Bld

[@Marrio49]

Boston Fire the best FD. A 4 bagger knocked down in just over 2 hours. Water-on fire within 5 minutes from when the box was first struck. Not when first engine company arrived. I was monitoring on Broadcastify and heard the box come in. I love this lady dispatcher’s voice for several years now. Operator 24 She remains so calm all the time. Wish I knew her name. Anyone know? I used to live in Boston next door to Engine 40 years ago. Was friends with many district chiefs, officers and Jakes. Miss all those guys.

As a veteran dispatcher of 16 years I could listen to this dispatcher all day long!

[@jimward7881]

She should say Washington st. Not wash

[@alatherley]

Iris is very professional.

[@Marrio49]

I called BFD headquarters the other day wanting to know dispatcher 24’s name and guess who answered? Her 😊 I’ve been listening to her for years now and love her sweet voice. I told her just that. She couldn’t give me her name. I wanted to send her flowers. I didn’t want to address the card to operator 24. Anyone know her?

Now THAT'S a "surround and drown"

[@Marrio49]

You got the right driver. Ever take a look at the many other videos of fires on KZbin? Many departments in USA really suck.

[@charleskirby6143]

Great video! Was it also windy and raining while this was going on?

[@857firephoto]

Thank you -- Yes it was pouring for the first hour or so of the fire.

[@DaleDix]

But they can still say they were at the 2024 4th alarm fire that destroyed the Jacob Worth building.

Old school, in the smoke without SCBA.

Little late to the party 857.

[@richardmeo2503]

looks like overkill with the water.

[@DonH-lk8hd]

Do you expect them to use buckets to put it out.

[@matttwomey8554]

One of the most uneducated comments I've ever seen on KZbin. "Overkill with the water"!!!??? Obviously your only experience firefighting you have is what you have seen from your couch🤦‍♂️ Much rather surround and drown than have a rekindle with those exposures on top of one another. Or send crews into a building under construction with many unknown hazards. That's how Firefighters get injured or worse, LODD's. Chief made the right call going defensive after conditions deteriorated. Looking at the head start it had and how deep seated the fire was it was definitely NOT "overkill" with the water.

lol you still have time to remove this comment 🤦🏻‍♂️

10:33 guy doesn’t knot how to wear bunker gear properly. Straps go over shoulders and not around his ass
