nayr1010...your kidding right? Strategy? Plan? It was painfully obvious they had none of either. Thankfully no one got killed at this clusterfutz.

5:32 Damnit...thats the second axe that i have dropped into a fire this week. The chief is gonna kill me for this!!

I have to say, from watching this video, and of course all I can see is whats here, but that was some of the lousiest firefighting tactics I have ever witnessed. No interior attack? Terrible truck work, show these guys how to take a window. Gte rid of the ten foot poles and get something you can work with, they have their place, but not on a porch roof taking windows. For God sake, this was horrible to watch.

@SjRothPhotography you can say that but its a video. You dont know what their strategy was or the plan they had

@Emsworker68

there are fire breaks in the main walls in between the houses, but none in the back proch area, the fire spread from the back porches and up the walls into the rear bedrooms.

@jrfire91

thanks, I am one of those white helmets...we do work every now and then :-)

[Emsworker68]

Geeze there could not have been any fire breaks in those old townhouses.

Did the fire start on the porch attic and than entered the main structure of the townhouse?

First videoon YouTube I have seen where they used a pierching noozle. I love those!

[jrfire91]

I' ve never seen that many White Helmets doing things on scene. They did a great job.
