[TheAbstractedmind]

Wow of the roof footage firemen are the fucking best and have the most balls of any of our emergent support systems thanks fire fighters for all you do

[Camman010]

What happened to Tower 10 that is stationed at the UBC hall?

[TheHeat343]

Listen to firefighter Rambo at 4:30 yelling for water

[Jefftank61]

wow...this is sad!

[Webkinznr3]

looks like there were fire sprinklers which is a good thing

[Xuntouchable03]

great video!

[terencetake2]

I guess the UBC FD finally got a real fire to deal with... after dealing with the Chemistry building being on fire for the 12381298301928301928 time in the week

can u say hook and ladder or snorkel

[detroitfirefighter]

So, I'm I to understand, that an aerial ladder/platform wasn't available? ...That it was neccessary to put personnel on the roof with slippery AFFF to extinguish from the roof?

[youidiot222]

@detroitfirefighter Due to the location of the building they were unable to put an aerial device up to the fire. As you can see in the video there was a large courtyard on one side and large trees on the other side. They did put up an Aerial on the far side of the building so the guys could get up to the roof.

[boerenlol]

Nice footage

[tractordude290]

what brand of airpacks are those?

[garycalgary]

they seemed to have a hard time pointing the hose at the fire and seemed more interested in hosing down the side of the building

[911caddy]

I quite enjoyed this video! Nice to see the local career guys doin' their thing!

[firealarmfreak5]

at 3:05 you ca hear a bell

[Skankpronger]

what country is  this from?

[youidiot222]

Canada

[jdodd01]

you should check out the better footage...acadia park fire=youtube

[youidiot222]

Yeah if by "better" You mean Horrible and shakey.. I cant even tell whats on fire your moving around so much. And whats with the Digital zooming back & forth. I was getting motion sick.

[mabas21]

YOUR NOT KIDDING, yours was much better. 5/5

[hpflyboi]

Wow, I got through 15 seconds before becoming ill from all the shaking and VERY poor footage. Definately prefer this one over Acadia park!!

[youidiot222]

Yeah I watched that too, Some people should stick to watching videos and not making them.

[firepoliceambulance]

was tower 7 on scene

[youidiot222]

Tower 7 is no longer at Hall 7.. It is supposta go to Hall 10 and become Tower 10. But someone drove the basket part into a tree. So now its being fixed. So no, it wasnt at the fire.

[bigmake]

Was there no aerial device on first or second alarm? Didnt seem like one got there till 3rd alarm arrived? Other than that awesome video....

[deltapride10001]

There was an aerial(ladder 10) up on the other side of the building on the first alarm.

[deltapride10001]

Hearing the communications in the background nice. Gives you a better idea of what was going on.

[youidiot222]

Thanks, yeah I havea few scanners. I bring them everywhere I go. I got luckey on this fire, I had just gotten off work 5 minutes earlier so I was pretty close.

[starcraftguy1]

nice vid

do u have a scanner?

did they manage to save most of the building?

[captivemrhanky]

Nice footage! I'm surprised that I didn't see any ladder trucks in the air trying to put out the fire...

[youidiot222]

This building was in an akward place, the only ladder acces was from the "Alpha" side of the building, the view in the start of the video is from the "Delta" Side.

[confusedfbi]

that was quick bro!!!! nice footage as usual!!!
