Battalion 7 Finds A Fully Involved House Fire In Gary Indiana

[MrLamdas2000]

at this point..why put it out??

[chevygirl421]

lol why would it be insurance fraud when the house is to old for insurance? lol

[ishff77]

Surround and drown!

[nattters1]

there goes someones meth lab

[marcelrotgans]

wow that house is a write off after this fire

[Wonkawillie77]

Back in the old days it would be lay two and go with the gun.

[firebrigade101]

WOW! can anyone say insurance fraud...or arson?

Front house burned before ,then out building burns and lady says get off the property....hmmm...I do believe a fire marshal might agree.

[bplayer47]

How do you get to the fire before the fire dept arrives? scanner?

[mabas21]

@bplayer47 Yes I have a scanner, but they messed the dispatch up. A neighboring department was dispatched and they advised it wasn't theirs. So there was quite a delay for the proper jurisdiction to be dispatched

[Skankpronger]

its amazing how you always seam to be first on scene. do you know what they say about the guy who is first on scene?

[glmike523]

All the growth and underbrush around this house, looks like an abandoned house. Gary, Indiana, maybe a drug house.

[RisingReaper88]

What the hell was that girl yelling about saying to get off her property?

[mabas21]

@RisingReaper88 Honestly I have no idea, I don't listen to people unless they have a badge on when I am recording a fire

[glmike523]

@RisingReaper88 A "skell."

[GhostRecon511]

@RisingReaper88 i know right umm ma'am your property is on fire hahaha

[ishff77]

@RisingReaper88 yea, she just lost a few thousand dollars worth of meth making equitment, wtf r u doing filming it, lol.

[rgatineau]

how the heck do u beat the fire depatment every time do u set these fires or somthing

[vulcan1429]

they did the best they could look at the conditions...

[xXKOSTRALXx]

What does fully involved mean?

[mabas21]

@xXKOSTRALXx The entire building is involved in flames

[xXKOSTRALXx]

@mabas21 Then why don`t they just say it was engulfed? I thought it meant it was arson, like someone was fully involved in the fire.

[LaxWarrior129]

i am a little curious how you are at all these fires when nearly nobody is around. But i must say, the GFD is on their game. They really do a great job

[mabas21]

@LaxWarrior129 It's actually quite easy to explain, I drive it like I stole it and GFD has closed several stations so coverage sucks. Between manpower cuts and equipment breaking down there response time has dropped, besides this fire was blocks away and there was a delay because this fire was actually toned out by a different dept before it was determined that this was Gary's

[MIKCURIE]

Was it a urban renewal project?

[Tierney40]

Here's a question... How the fuck are you at all these fire videotaping and standing around without the fd there or even on its way yet..? I think i smell an arson over here...

[mabas21]

@Tierney40 And I think I smell a douche bag.....

[Tierney40]

@mabas21 fuck you ya little fire bug...

[mabas21]

@Tierney40 Run your mouth like a douche bag and ya get called one numbnuts

[Trendwin]

@Tierney40 You have a great point, it's like he lights them and than calls the fire department lol.

[CuseRecorder]

@Tierney40

He's not the first one there every time you dick. Many times(If you watch his other videos) the fd is on scene first.

[Petermax99]

Thanks for the info.

[Petermax99]

From time to time in other videos I hear the term box fire what does it mean can someone tell me thanks or box call I think.

[mabas21]

@Petermax99 A box alarm is a type of response to a fire, depending on the department it differs. In Gary with the short staffing a box response would be 3-4 engines, 2 trucks, a squad, 2 battalion chiefs, a safety officer when one is staffed and sometimes an ambulance. At times the arson investigator is also dispatched

[67keefer]

@Petermax99 in out department means pumper,tanker,ladder,ems unit, 4 ends to form a box

[ANETGames]

lol they whine too much. The reason it looked like it was out more after the pause is because once they get the main part cooled off, the rest of the fire goes down rapidly. in the 30 seconds it took to move it was done with... Plus the building's structure was already doen with so there's not much left to burn

[eee4476]

@ANETGames shut the hell up

[eee4476]

y did you pause for so long it was out and i did not get to see it

[mabas21]

@eee4476 I am sorry, I do not understand what you are talking about. What pause are you referring to?

[eee4476]

@mabas21 at 7:02 you had a pause and the fire was almost out

[mabas21]

@eee4476 I see, I was just relocating to where they were attacking the fire. There was only a few second delay for me to get from one spot to another.

[eee4476]

@mabas21 oh i c

[xerbud]

did anyone else here the ammunit6ion round go off?

[HarajukuEthan]

@xerbud mhm.

[nickcasto2]

question, when u moved behind the fire trucks or when you move in general are u making like camera angles or is that the fire department telling you to move?

[mabas21]

@nickcasto2 Just moving for different angles

[arohn2007]

Smores anyone?

[stickystick105]

smart ppl not calling the fire department

[RCcustomPD]

Wow!

[biggdaddy2001]

why put it out when it was that far gone just put out the fire around the building sheesh and why is it the gary has alot of fires and junk houses?

[mabas21]

@biggdaddy2001 It's Gary, they put water on them no matter what, vacant or not it is getting put out. There are tons of vacant houses throughout Gary and they burn all the time.

[ffjsb]

@biggdaddy2001 Flying brands may cause a fire in a house someone actually lives in. And if the FD didn't put out fires in vacant houses, it would be an awfully easy way to dispose of any bodies you had laying around. A fire like that would do a good job of cremating someone and destroying evidence. I do wonder why they pulled two small handlines on this? Don't they have deck guns? Just hit it with the deck gun and dump your tank, next engine lays you a line. One line for clean up, done!

[biggdaddy2001]

@ffjsb lol darn im fresh outa bodies but what a great way to disspose thanks lmao ur right about the brands flying around

[smi155]

@biggdaddy2001 Any Fire Department must put out a Fire if they find one... You can't just watch a place burn...

Legal reasons.

[herndblr]

Nice to see Gary again, although, the others kept you busy in the meantime!

[mabas21]

@herndblr This was a fluke, looked out my door and saw the header. I am kind of protesting Gary now. Long story....

[MIoldtimer]

Great video Ed.

[mabas21]

@NSPLUCKY It was just one of the firefighters messing with me

[MIoldtimer]

@mabas21 LOL :x

[firewacker432]

where were the fire co's at the beginin of the vid?????

[mabas21]

@firewacker432 I was first on scene, I ran out the door when the Chief advised of a working fire. Nobody called 911, the response time from dispatch was only 4-5 minutes for the 1st engine

[firebird34]

omg nobody called the fire department on this house wow

[mabas21]

@firebird34 Tell me about it, there were 5-10 people outside watching before the fd arrived on scene

[ShuanyE]

what the hell dude no way G I is going down hill so fast its so sad dude for real

[saradoman992]

Wow. That's insane!

[CRonaldo2507]

@sfgiantsfanman what a douche lol
