PRE-ARRIVAL VIDEO: Quick knock on this house fire in Whitehall, PA.

Early Tuesday morning, Lehigh County dispatched companies to 347 6th Street for a house fire at 2:21AM. Deputy 35 arrived on scene and reported a working fire with fire showing in the rear.
Whitehall Engine 4 arrived with a driver and two firefighters and stretched one 1.75" hand line to the rear. As the firefighters were stretching, the driver connected a water supply to a hydrant at the corner of 6th and Pennsylvania.
The firefighters darkened down the fire in the back of the house and moved their hand line to the front of the house to make an interior attack.
Whitehall Engine 2 arrived on the Delta side (South) and positioned on Pennsylvania Street and stretched a hand line to the rear to extinguish the rest of the fire.
Chief 35 (Nelson) held the box to the first alarm assignment and had the fire under control in roughly 30 minutes.
The fire was contained to the rear portion of the "addition" that consisted of the garage. The house sustained some smoke damage.

[@JohnM1774]

Very professional, quick knockdown. A professional Fire Department. Stay Safe Brothers and Sisters

[@aportman58]

5:12 that is either a big boy or those are small fighters on his right and left? I like it when fire departments pull up on location and they get water on the fire quickly!!! Great job Whitehall Fire Department! This is the way structure firefighting should happen!

[@HerpDerpNV]

Oompa Loompa from the Willy Wonka Fire Brigade?

[@thomasmiller815]

Another excellent video bill I think we need to get a hookup for your truck you could start putting the fire out before they get there

[@brucekulickfan4206]

Good work by all!

[@fireguy284]

Awesome job! Stay safe.

[@comment2009]

That was one crispy fire. Owners lucky to have brick exterior to prevent further extension. How long did it take power co. to isolate the downed line?

[@steveg3207]

Nice Camaro

[@lorknozzel11]

great video, and fast knock down, but i had to laugh at the 5:00 mark, its looks like bring your kids to work day at the fire station. lol.

[@notthatdonald1385]

That is SOP for this dep't.

[@Howard3S]

Ask an older state trooper about the "trooper command presense or mystique" of someone who even with the smokey bear campaign hat on stands less tall than the cruiser roof.

[@r.a.hassel8006]

On volunteer fire companies, that happens a lot.

[@lorknozzel11]

@@Howard3S why the fuck would i do that? i really dont care to know the answer. it was just a simple comment / joke about how short the firefighters look.

[@TheAngryFishh]

I was going to say the same damn thing lol

[@peterarvanitis6497]

Great knock and limited damage Just smoke to the inside Excellent Clip buddy

[@Don-ls2dy]

Nice job. Nice knock down. Stay safe.

[@rd4660]

That live electrical wire certainly made life exciting!

[@JakeW26]

Yeah those are always fun lol

[@sahmuleadams5270]

1 line transitional attack👍🏻

[@edwu8253]

I wonder how long it was burning for- before being called in🤔

[@jays106]

looked like a firewall between the area that burned like a stickbuilt addition on something cause it seemed to contain itself to that area like it could not spread yet thought could see light smoke on the other side of structure

[@ThePappas33]

Someone needs to train these guys how to cut a garage door.. All they had to do is cut were the opener arm is attached and the whole door would have come up..and if it was latched it is usually on the third section i would have had it open in two minutes top..

[@ThePappas33]

@@samrock7632 That is why i said the latches on the third section that latch in the track would not have been a problem for that saw it would go rite through it..

[@kentcarter835]

Bully for you.

[@ThePappas33]

@@kentcarter835 What's that supposed to mean ?

[@kentcarter835]

Mean? Doesn't really mean anything, just an informal nod to another KZbin firefighter. 😶

[@PaEMT_FF9]

james pappas Now if you would have said to consider “try before you pry” aka unlock it inside and put it up in a normal fashion then prop it open safely, wouldn’t sounded as much like a pita.

[@edclapham3994]

Nice knockdown.

[@edanielssr6113]

These guys came to battle that was quick knock down guy came out the engine running nice video good catch

[@steelem422]

Nice! Fire is so fun

[@Frosty1k]

So I go past this house the next day

[@geraldturner9764]

Many departments need to watch this. 1 pull out hose. 2 put water on fire. It seems like an eternity on some of the videos. Like, why even show up?

[@kenmeinken8115]

I was thinking the same thing, about 43 seconds from when the truck stopped until water flowed. Great job.

[@joeapicelli8367]

Good job

[@johnwrigley1624]

Why are they parking the rigs so far away?

[@kenmeinken8115]

Probably so that they don't have to shut own and move the trucks if the fire gets out of control.

[@Mustang6971]

To keep the engine safe they have zero clue whats in the house there could be explosive material and if that blows up, or if the fire starts to get out of hand they don't want the engine to go up in flames. Those fire engines cost hundreds of thousands of dollars with all the equipment on board, they anit cheap to replace.

[@Mike6867]

why is the chief using the nozzle🤔

[@michaelsheffler5710]

This is as good as it gets..nice transitional attack quick work..the first guy hitting it hard from the yard no need to take the the time to Dawn your face piece ...hit it and let the second wave finish it..this is exactly how we do it my department good job fellas

[@Jell_Hell]

By the look of it . It looks like it was caused by a firework or a now functioning machinery

[@mandyomally4896]

I thinks its time the Police look at the number of fires this department runs.......it smells like they have an arsonist in Whitehall Pennsylvania !

[@jimbobaby1468]

most likely used wet water

[@pjp2394]

nice Camaro lol

[@1slotmachine]

Quick knock down? It took them forever to get there!

[@notthatdonald1385]

Fortunately for the owner the fire was exterior. This dep't is not interior firefighters *at all* .

[@Mustang6971]

Really they don't do interior fire work my local department does agressive interior work on fires.
