@robertw An aerial Ladder is a snorkel. Either Snorkel 2 or Snorkel 28 was availble and out of service at this time so there had tillers to replace.

[@mikedehel6548]

A snorkel was parked at jasper and Cumberland, when I told e28 about that other bld fire , just sitting there, not in service, did not see any members

[@firescue20]

RIP Brothers. May prayers be sent to the Philly Fire Dept and family of all those effected.

[@Dont5Wake6The1Truck]

Rest in Peace Brothers. We will never forget you or your bravery.

[@mikedehel3413]

should have added as a gauker , just watching , next to e28 when I saw flames, on that 5 story building

[@PoppaBlue59]

Sincere regards to all concerned. Keep safe out there, brothers and sisters. L-3885, Texas.

[@mikedehel3413]

[@mikedehel3413]

e2 should have ordered all co. in service also on arrival

[@jamesmason8052]

[@jerseyguy242]

Breaks my heart that this happened. I was 21 years old when the 12 alarm conflagration happened on New Years Day in '63 at Tenth & Diamond. Philly fire guys are without equal when it comes to fighting fire. It's the city that fails its people allowing all those abandoned buildings to stand. Something is broken in Philly. Look to New York and you will see how city management should be done.

[@JohnpaulDejoria666]

They torch them in NYC, look no further than the factories and warehouse in Williamsburg/Greenpoint and the west side of NYC. Same thing, NY would let them got to a decrepit state, they would buy the lots and then burn them down

[@omfgCantGetaUsername]

My prayers are with their families. Rest Eternally In Heaven!

[@stickwelder2005]

RIP Brothers!!! You will not be forgotten!!!

[@PoppaBlue59]

Don't pay any attention to the dislikes....they are just puddin' heads who have no clue what they are listening to. Keep Safe out there. Sincere regards from a brother in Texas.

[@PONDERSOA]

[@cpt8house]

RIP Brothers. you will not be forgotten.

[@robw9412]

About the 11:20 mark the dispatcher asks if a conventional ladder is wanted due to no aerial ladders available. What is the difference between the two? Departments vary with their use in terms for different apparatus.

[@PhillyMotoXTS]

Philly mostly runs tiller ladders that are straight ladders. Aerial ladders are non-tillered and have platforms for firefighters to stand on ("buckets" some may call them).

[@harrycallahan6313]

Rest in peace brothers. You will no be forgotten.

[@MARCUSSTATION5]

"Difficult to comprehend"??? Are you kidding? Try listening to NYC dispatchers.

[@Winos_Seattle]

My prayers are with PFD Engine 7 Ladder 10.

[@SuperLumpychicken]

Our prayers are with Philly fire God Speed

[@edwu8253]

almost 5 yrs ago, wow!

[@jerseyguy242]

Can anyone comment on the Jan.1,1963 Tenth & Diamond Street fire in Philly? I'm looking for eyewitness comments on this 12 alarm fire. Thanks.

[@jerseyguy242]

Totally preventable disaster had the massive building not been occupied by squatters. Two good men died for fighting fire in the collapse zone. Sickening.

[@mikedehel3413]

Jack Rescoe I was just 7 yr old walked from about 2 miles to fire after my dad cslled us , he was a pfd on duty , about 5-10 members of our family walked to within about 4 blks of fire , my dad never made fire , did cover up to cover up , to cover up , he made journals from 1941-1973 , of every run he was on , can't send pic here , my email [e-mail] on 10th + diamond fire

[@mikeg753]

You are referring to the Fretz Building fire I'm gathering? It went to 12 1/2 alarms If you've been in the PFD museum they have a huge picture on the wall showing the fire and companies in service with deluge guns on top of homes surrounding the building. It was a surround & drown operation. This fire is also shown in the book "Tin Helmets

[@mikeg753]

Iron Men. It was on one of the Out Of The Past stories of the Philly Fire Feed website some time ago. This fire sounds like a professional arson job. By the time the engine company arrived on location the fire was fully involved per their report to radio. Owners of these buildings are probably deceased then handed down to offspring. They feel a pain in the ass to pay the taxes so they hire someone to torch it. That's why no one observes them in the building torching it @3am in the morning. By this time the owners just hire a company to clean up the mess instead of spending a ton of $ to demolish the building if it was still standing. Those old buildings were all wooden floors if used in the textile industry.

R.I.P. Brothers, you will be missed.

[@jerseyguy242]

Jasper & York was the old Thomas Buck Hosiery Company where they made millions of pairs of socks over many years. Buck Hosiery was on this day a vacant structure occupied by squatters who did what they do best; burn historic old buildings down, and kill brave men trying to quell the fire.

[@topfd27]

16:40 Is when the collapse unit and RIT ladder is requested

[@robertfields6955]

A Snorkel is not an aerial ladder PFD chase!!!!!!!

[@LancasterResponding]

A snorkel is most definitely an aerial device. You might be thinking of a snozzle.

[@icexspectre6104]

he said aerial ladder, which a snorkel is NOT an aerial ladder, is a nozzle on a boom that they can manipulate around wires etc

[@mrstevebournias]

Very sad. It is difficult to comprehend the dispatcher coz he talks so fast that he is impossible to follow. Not a good way to communicate.

[@hook2291]

Rest Easy Brothers
