@lehighsbravest Sheesh. I am not a firefighter but is the correct term here "surround and drown"? Obviously the building was going to be a complete loss so just keep the fire in check until it burns itself out. That sound correct?
When I was Chief of my department my alarm structure was 5 alarms and an "oh shit" alarm. This was definitely an "oh shit." Looks like it had a hell of a head start.
There's some nice looking tankers in this vid., I like how they used the construction tanker. Not much you can do on a fire this size with all that plastic burning.
Thats one sexy tanker at 3:30

That is one hell of a fire. Any fire that involves a facility producing either tires or plastics you know it's going to be a bad one.
