Electricity: a two-edged sword. Makes our life 20 times easier than it would be without it, but, it has the power to kill and destroy when unleashed and not held in control....

[MichiganFann]

[jrmywbrwr]

[MsAutobodyman]

my hat goes off to you firemen what a job you have

[smooz4567]

OMG has anyone ever heard of 2 1/2" lines. The ladder is to high to be effective. Good burn down.

[Arlingtoncards]

@smooz4567 Readers and YouTube visitors. There are live power lines or recently live or unpredictable power lines under the Tower Ladder and directly under the water flow. The Tower Ladder could not have been any lower. Com Ed was not on the scene yet.

[doedeedum]

Great Footage Mark!

Wow! Really, MAyadajeffery? Why the hell would they go near 75,000 volts to save some clothes? It wasn't an animal hospital or a senior center. Stop trying to second guess something you haven't a clue about. Yea you should notify your city council about what a moron you are.

[nwtmboy923]

It happened 3 days ago and we're still w/o power. ComEd didn't want another transformer to blow so they cut power to the whole grid until the fire dept can finish "investigating." Not to mention our yard was flooded with water from the fire dept.

Great way to start the summer huh!

[glassboxphotogeek1]

mmm? I don't remember that tree being there....must be losing it. Too bad it took us forever to get around arlington track. Would have loved to get shots of this in full bloom.

[MayadaJeffery]

I mean, seriously, if the "first responders" can't respond because there needs to be someone else who responds before the first responders, then those people need to be included on the list of first responders, or the fire fighters need to know how to turn off the electricity. What if this had been an animal shelter, or LTAC hospital (Long Term Acute Care- where residents are quadraplegics on breathing machines)? The city council needs to look into this, imo.

[melevy]

Hey, did Com Deadison ever show up?

[MayadaJeffery]

The last flames that high on NW highway had to be.... Arlington Park?

What were they reselling in there? A billion ping pong balls? WTH

@MayadaJeffery

clothes

[tjfreak]

@MayadaJeffery The SE corner was electronics/offices,the SW corner was hundreds of books (Library) / mens wear, the N. center was furniture,the S. center was Brick n' Brack. The N E corner (outer), donation / recieving, usually just jammed floor to ceiling with donations, the NE corner (inner) female clothing,(middle )east wall baby stuff.. NW corner ,entrance wall paintings ,west wall, mid- dressing room, I cant tell from these video's where the heaviest concentration of burning was,

[MayadaJeffery]

wow!
