Fire Forces People To Jump From The 2nd Story In Hobart Indiana

Was there a reason they didn't go in after this one?? Maybe a large rescue effort initially? Seems like it would have been advantageous to go after it in the attic to begin with...seems like that would have made a big difference. Don't wanna play Monday morning quarterback, just wondering. Probably some extenuating circumstances that the video didn't show.

Something exactly like this happened by my house in Michigan! Only mine was at like 5 in the morning and the firetrucks didnt know where to go so they drove past my house like 3 or 4 times. i was so mad. it all started with a cigarrette

who is the chuckle head on the ladder truck??? you are supposed to aim at the fire, not the windows on the other side of the building...

Regarding the renters insurance comment, every renter should have it. As an insurance agent, I hear lots of excuses why to 'not' carry it, like "we're careful" and 'we don't own much". Well, what if your neighbor above you isn't careful and starts a fire damaging your apartment? Renters insurance will cover what you do have, plus hotel and other living expenses while you are unable to live in your damaged apartment. For $10 to $25/month, there's no excuse to not have it.

mabas21 - cool shots of the tower blasting through the roof & out the window, and blasting the roof edging off. great video, thanks!

I lived in these buildings for about a year till a micro burst took the roof off of it and it was condemed... I lived in the one across fron the one on fire.That building was for the elderly their are only a few younger ppl living there. This was destined to happen these buildings were not upto date and full of mold! I am glad my elderly friend moved out the day before or she would have lost everything!
