***MASSIVE*** Multiple Alarm Fire Destroys Multiple Businesses, West Easton, Pennsylvania - 4.4.23

[@user-peach408]

I am not a fire expert. It doesn’t seem like there are enough ladder trucks for the size of fire. Is it water pressure? Or shortage of equipment.

[@JS-zb1vv]

Nobody would have had enough!

[@Rich-dw9ii]

Need a lot of water. If you need that many ladder trucks it’s too late to save anything.

[@frednone]

They only had two hydrants, but the Lehigh River was on the other side of the trucks.

[@BonzoGal1980]

Doesn't matter how many trucks you have if you don't have the water to supply them.

[@aday1637]

Proof that sprinklers are necessary in buildings.

[@josephgrenier5603]

I'm not sure based on the volume of fire, that sprinklers would've helped

[@davesservices]

sprinklers would not have changed this

[@davesservices]

sprinklers will work in a residential. hospitol care facility but what you have all forms of fire load accelerants explosive mataerials na .

[@DaleDix]

But not practical or effective for some applications

[@Bigcountryfrank]

Good job with the drone video and wow just wow.

[@novdt]

what`s your point, its a drone, that`s what drones are 100% good at

[@michaelv.1107]

I wonder why they're dousing the burning rubble of the already lost buildings with lots of master streams while other buildings in danger but still standing. What about building a line of defence here and save what can be saved?

[@zeldarepsher3164]

Does anyone know where abouts this factory is located at in West Easton Pa Because we used to live in Easton Pa also is this factory still burning right now as we speak because I haven't heard of any updates

[@mannybooker8468]

1550 Lehigh drive

[@NVPMedia]

It’s along lehigh drive along the river and they still have hot spots or small pockets of fire they are dealing with

[@josephgrenier5603]

Half of the problem is Tower Ladder placement is too far from the seat of the fire. As the fire is dying down apparatus should be shut down and relocated to make extinguishment more affective

[@trvman1]

it was gone, water was having no real effect. Just let it burn and contain it. You could see the walls were containing it after it collapsed.

[@kayakingphotos]

Have you seen the video of the Ennis Texas tower ladder surrounded by and consumed by fire? You don't want to get too close especially if it has been determined that it will be defensive firefighting activity

[@OnTheAir]

They could have really used a couple more tower ladders.

[@lotharhamburg5343]

Let me guess TOXIC cloud

[@craigallenbaugh786]

Poor fire fighting tactics, multiple trucks and trailers burned unnecessarily while they just poured water into the middle of the fire that has zero chance of saving it. Protect the perimeter , buildings and equipment, the middle is gone.

[@novdt]

this is the great reset, wakeup people.

[@TalbotBrooks]

Keep that heavy wrecker service phone number in you contacts list - never know when you're going to need it...

[@donnaduda450]

How does a warehouse of that size go up in flames so evenly spread out. Not in the middle and spread or at one end or the other and spread. it's an even burm throughout from the picyure.Something smells fishy here !

[@joebigguybiden]

A pipeline is desired in this area for exports overseas, not to lower out energy costs! Time will tell if imminent domain is used to take control of the area and waterways they have insisted are safe…

[@kevinkwiatkowski7197]

What did they make there?

[@jhonsiders6077]

Sad no one could move those two trucks that had no hose line on them .

[@HugsBach]

Too many disasters lately 😪

[@Maddieson]

As someone who lives in Easton,it was very confusing when I first saw it. I heard the loud bang. Some say it was propane tanks,but the truth is that it was just burning rubber from access tires. My school had their power shut off for almost the entire day,smoke filling the air,and lost electricity. Nobody was hurt from this fire. They're still determining what or who caused the fire.

[@joebigguybiden]

If it was just “burning rubber” why did multiple people interviewed immediately after it started say they heard “multiple explosions” and how are you so sure of this “truth”? Also, how did rubber ignite and go on to burn multiple warehouses down to pieces of frame 🤔🤔 Something tells me you’re intentionally misleading people, if you’re not then I apologize sincerely… I live in Easton as well, not far from the Turkey Hill off of 78, kept my son home from school that day.

[@novdt]

this the great reset. so they are only giving the impression that they are putting the fire out.

[@teresaallen3045]

What factory is it

[@johnvitarelli1553]

I'm not knowledgeable about how to fight fires,but how does a fire this big in that large of a building get to be completely destroyed.I would think the fire equipment arrived well before the fire consumed the building.

[@bennyedmondson8919]

You have to look at the situation was the building occupied how long before it was noticed it's a large structure with hardly anything above it so it has the opportunity to spread rapidly due to it's got plenty of oxygen to help

[@newguy2794]

I was a firefighter for about 30 years. If you look at a house trailer which is totally different situation, it will be completely destroying about 3 minutes

[@BonzoGal1980]

A lot of factors. Location, accessibility, amount of fuel, the time passed before the fire was noticed, and water supply issues on arrival- forcing them to draft water from the river and set up tenders. Just a bad scene all around, all you can do is douse it and keep it from spreading.

[@rosewetzel8284]

Speaking of which was this a 5th alarm fire?

[@rosewetzel8284]

@@newguy2794 do you think this was a 5th alarm blaze due to the size of this fire?

[@Binx345me]

they needed helicopter/airplane water dumps!

[@crooked-halo]

Sorry for the loss of such a huge amount, but it looked like a very good firefight. At first I was like "those 3 or 4 ladders aren't going to even touch this giant blaze, it'll have to just burn itself out." But it appears that they did indeed knock it down! Experts...were they pumping from the river? Is that even possible? To re-plenish tankers or go through the truck from the river directly? They'd need a filter, right? Or was this all from hydrants? I hate to see firefighters up on those ladders without any PPE at 9:27. I know a couple firemen & they've told me lots of guys ignore apparatus unless absolutely necessary just to show how cool, tough & capable they are. Great drone video & edit!

[@NVPMedia]

With your question to water supply They were drafting from the river directly with two engines they also had a tanker shuttle going and hooked into a hydrant.

[@danielheartsill4269]

I grew up in a small town in Oklahoma. We had a scanner and many times the fire department would ask the dispatcher to call the pump station at city lake to add water pressure because the water towers were getting very low and pressure was falling. Small towns just do not have equipment metro areas have.

[@crooked-halo]

@@NVPMedia Cool! Thanks! I was very curious. I'm assuming the trucks/tankers have an onboard filter when drafting from a body of water?

[@jameswitkowski6736]

Need more than sprinklers on this one , who started this ?

[@bennyedmondson8919]

Waste of time trying to put it out protect the exposure and let it burn

Where in place ?

[@user-peach408]

Why don’t they do water drops by helicopter like forest fires on things like this? Anyone know?

[@JS-zb1vv]

Pointless !

[@TalbotBrooks]

Beyond minimal effect (most of what you see with forest fires are actually retardent drops which help slow the spread of fire, water drops are used, but primarily on spot fires or trouble spots that threaten a fire line), this fire is in Pennsylvania where aerial firefighting resources are likely pretty limited to things like a "Bambi Bucket" - a helocopter-based drop of 500-1000 gallons. The monitors on those ladder trucks flow up to 1,500 gallons per minute.
