House Fire - Family escapes as fire engulfs home

[walleyeking23]

I work for an NBC affiliate in Kansas City and we like what we see here. We are interested in contacting you to see if you want to possibly work for us as a spot news reporter. Your reporting technique is just what we are looking for. NOT!!!

[nfs3fan2]

you are a fucking idiot who wants to be a news reporter but have no camera sense. we have people like you arrested for getting in the way. stay back douchebag.

[dancebandleader]

this guy sounds like he is trying to break into show business.i have learned more about fighting fires from watching videos, than this guy .

.

[djkeylo]

i guess they dont do any interior operations.....

[k4ldh]

I'm with youtube..........WTF,DORK?

[statusndm00d]

Ofcourse they don't know what started it! THEY'RE STILL PUTTING IT OUT!

[29bradh]

sorry dude but u realy need to stay back while the firefighters are working...even the guys that are just standing around are either running things or always ready to go when somthing bad happens, that could be a firefighter down or a possble victim

[dalbenton]

Wood ? why dont they build them houses out of brick,at least if there be any house fires there wont be half as much damage, wood just burn to the ground then a lot to replace

[suton004]

I would have to agree with Big Dave WTF dude.... kinda cool to see but you have no idea what your talking about

[FilmLou]

Fishers has some of the greatest paint and wraps in the fire service.

[ursowned]

IKm suprised at the willingness of the firefighters to talk about it half of them araound here dont even respond

[pepperannehanson]

What the heck are those houses made of that they melt like that?

[PierceT520]

Damn! I see Fishers Nobelsville and Westfield!

[bonzo874]

surely all that water would wreck the place just as badly ,

[rvpKellz]

lol...Mr. Hollick, you're really investing...that's something different...the reporter talking to the ffs while they work....

[pretty49kitty1]

Well, I guess Mr. Hollick meant well. When viewing this long fire video, perhaps also view his video How To Survive An Alien Abduction. I agree that a spectator should not try to "interview" the fire fighters during the fire, and I'm amazed they were so polite and none of them asked him to take a break. This is just one very extroverted guy I guess. At least he loves his cat and treats it well (see How To Survive An Alien etc.).

[lightpaws25]

Unless you are part of the fire crew you should stay out of their way when their fighting the fire, also asking people what started it can get you labeled a suspect if it's ruled arson. Believe me we note everyone's face who is at the scene of a fire, especially if your walking around the scene when were putting it out.

[thedude107]

fire attack went defensive... not that exciting bro.... not to be mean nor rude but what if that family was outside when some guy with a camera saying oh cool..... If I was the IC or chief i would say turn off the camera.... this video just bugs me how he was walking around the seen..... people just dont do that we have tap up for a reason...... urgh....

[mfd6811]

heres what happend, something got hot!!! now stay out of the way!!!!

[kissfanjohn]

Please stop making videos. You and yuppie woman are jerk offs.

[MIKCURIE]

why so many negative comments..get a dog and beat it if your life is so full of venom... ....... a toy dog please

[Givemethetip]

3:14 - what?????

[Givemethetip]

probably started it, wishes he could be a firefighter but probably didn't pass 6th grade

[jsncrso]

this guy is an idiot

[ijailem2]

Did u smoke crack before you did this???

[7089540230]

All i can Say is Wow! I cant Believe you did not get arrested for this!

You DONT ever walk up to a firefighter with a video camera & just start asking questions...You ask the Chief first when you get there if its ok to film the fire scene,and you ruined with your narration & no control at all of the camera

This is Incredible! Im getting nausious watching it

[DragLvr911]

Advice for future ... DONT video tape fires, reasons why ... 1, Privacy acts 2, NEVER go upto command staff and ask "What happened here" or "what caused this" theres media officers/media relation staff to deal with these issues and are normally handles by the police. 3, you are not a professional fire fighter, have no PPE and NO experiance with the hazards which are present during and after structure fires. Please keep the scene secure and safe and let the men and women do their jobs.

[jsncrso]

News flash: you can film fires just fine if you dont interfere with firefighting operations

[fmartinjr]

Exactly jsncrso.I thank you for your reply.All of these A'holes on here dissing this poor guy.He's just filming a fire scene.There are some things he just needs to be taught do and not to do.Like the one dude above you DragLuv911 going to say "Don't video tape fires".How retarded is that?Everyone wants to be incharge of someone.Telling people what they can and can't do.

[DH082008]

you have no clue what your talking about...for god sakes. you cant even spell expierence right....but out. its a free country.

[Tovkal]

If we are firefighters we can record fires?

[Demolitionman10000]

if i saw that guy that day i would break his video cam so he couldnt post this online

[WRCATFISH]

i dont know whats worse the fire dept putting all that water on smoke or the wanker doing the video..

[lancerevovii24]

@WRCATFISH You obvious lack of common sense, courtesy, research, and self respect has lead to this blatantly stupid comment. Don't ever talk trash about the Noblesville Fire Department. Their "putting water on smoke" saved my neighbor's house.

[xXBirDEXx125]

@WRCATFISH you obviously havent studied fire and what your actualy supposed to do when at a fire

[pbartolomeo05]

this guy is a goober. lmao, how funny. when he grows up, he wants to be a reporter.

[iluvpics2]

how did the other houses get destroedy?

[MrHollick]

The houses on either side basically melted from the intense heat of the fire

[fireguye4]

its spelled destroyed

[iluvpics2]

oops!

[gregnkaren02]

I think this is good coverage by MrHollick

[bigdave17851]

I'm surprised none of the firemen smashed this retard's camera and punched him in the face for getting in the way.

[MrHollick]

I hope you are able to seek help for your obvious hostility issues, good luck!

[Civic8yourSRT4]

Well first off, there are no laws against free lance photography. And at any extreme he probably had permission to be there, or the firefighters really did not care. Because if he was placing a burden on those men, law enforcement would have taken him from the scene. its as simple as that.

[theone2225]

that or they were out at the "police line" that crossed. if ya notice the firefighter at 3:50 telling him that there will be a media rep there shortly and refusing to answer his question, i take it that he probably wasnt suppose to be there.

[MrFiremedic22]

@bigdave17851 .........dats what i would hav done if i was on scene

[MrFiremedic22]

@bigdave17851 .........dats what i would hav done if i was on scene

[greenawalds11]

@bigdave17851 thats what i would have done

[voicepoet]

that's a house warming party gone wrong...

[Demolitionman10000]

we are living in a hotel for free for as long as we want to untill we get a new place to live

[Demolitionman10000]

i actually lived there and was there while the fire started and for the record we are not into drugs my family and i are lucky to be alive it was an ACCIDENT that the fire started AND THE HOUSES SUCKED

[childre24]

To bad for those families :( That would be horrible. Glad everyone was ok though.

[melzaelf]

Glad everyone was okay.

Too bad about the houses :( They were nice.

[laserlad93]

oh that is horrible, everything thet owned :(

do you know what started it? aaand just as i type it, u ask the fireman :P

keep on filming!

[JoeFielding72]

That was wild. I hope no one was hurt. The housed were messed up. That little camera is amazing. God bless you and Max and your family.

[PureCOMEDIAN]

fire destroy to many houses every year!! one of my friend house burnt down then after they were moving they got killed in a car accident he was 19 when he died my best friend ever!!

[mdacevedo1980]

That's sad...

[PoohBear02003]

How awful.. I would be heart broken if that was my home. At least no one was hurt.. Must have been really big to get the homes next to it. When you find out what caused it, you have to let me know..

Pººhßear

[biggydman]

I'm with youtube- LOL!!!

[biggydman]

That's why you shouldn't cook meth in your attic! Hey, glad you sent this to me- it never showed up in my subs!! Nuts!! Great job! You captured some of your local heroes at work! You should've stood in front of the house when they had the hose out and screamed, "Do me next! Do me next!"  You might have been arrested- but it'd be a Tom Green moment!

[mymoosejaw]

I would say that house if toast. Not good - them poor people all their stuff...

[isegoria1]

All you need is a good camera stabilizer and you could beat them to all the stuff. Yours was better footage aside from the jostling around.

[MrHollick]

Hey thanks :) I just happened to have my new Flip Mino HD in my coat pocket, not a bad picture for a little point and shoot camera :)

Im glad to see your here !

[isegoria1]

Wow, that is from a flip? I am impressed. Now I want one. Makes a convenient camera for more hazardous situations. Only cost $20 more than my mini dv JVC.

[MrHollick]

Yep its the Flip Mino HD much easier to carry with me than my regular Canon video Camera. You can check out a video i put up last week "Father surprises Son with a Flip Mino HD" I got one for myself and my son Maxx its a fun video check it out :)

[happyis20]

thats aweful for those families .but you did a great reporting job :)

[mrniceguy28431]

Oh man that was a hot fire. Glad to hear that family got out.

[voicepoet]

I know you started that fire just so you'd have some footage for youtube.

[theloathlydaddy]

Awesome footage, Sean, you're a super reporter, and very cool that you met that other reporter, who isn't privileged to work for youtube lol ... but she seemed like an outstanding person nonetheless. The quality in HD is just remarkable, like being there, I feel bad for the family but really a great job on this one!

[ER92840]

Looks like you are ready to be a in the field reporter :) Sucks for the house and the owners. Great shots and video! *****

[colindacy]

this happened to me in 03

[Rachele77]

sucks... hope they have insurance!!

[5awesomeoptimists]

Unfortunately no they do not have insurance. Check out the news article in the link on the sidebar here.

[johnswackyworld]

your now a youtube reporter...same as me when there is a fire nearby.
