now how does one's house go about exploding?

[108engineboss]

No clue

Great Vid. I am just curious, in the other vid(part 1) didn't is say something about powlines down? So, why would you put water on powerlines....? I may not truly understand the series of event and the power company could have shut it down but I say arc explosions on the adjacent house in the other vid....just asking.

This is what i remember, this fire was two years ago. When our engine arrived on scene the power lines were down and a piece of it was on fire. It was a cable line because all of our power lines are at the top of the poles. Also i dont know if you saw it or not in the videos the gas company and duquense light was on scene before anyone arrived so if there were any issues they were taken care of before arrival or when we got on scene.

Ok. I understand now. I went back and saw him. I think he was the guy wearing the green safety vest...??? Awesome job on knockdown! I love the monitor gun you guys had on it! In that situation, I think that was a great decision!

[108engineboss]

Ya that would be them. What you couldnt see in this video was that fire was blowing out of every window of the house on arrival. It was a good quick knock on the fire. I love our deck gun but i wish it would have a smooth bore on it to really pierce through the fires

From one FF to another, nice knock down of the fire and good use of the attack lines and the master stream. Structure looks very unstable, I wouldn't go in unless it was to save a life.

Good job done by all.

good ol deck gun!

[sharppointy1]

Funny 0- I said on part one "I wish I could see the D exposure", and voila! here it is! Excellent job knocking down a big fire.

@defender195 You cant beat them, any fully involved structure thats the first thing we pull.

[LindstromLafferty]

Nice job of protecting the exposures and using the manpower you had to best advantage.I like the deck gun also great way to save your people and take away the heat.

@avalonfireguy close enough

[avalonfireguy]

@partyingpeanut i believe they said it was a gas explosion. i think the owner was "fixing" the line or something. our local gas company was all over the place when they got O/S

[partyingpeanut]

@joegfjh prolly gas leek or the hot water tank ruptured. idk something along those lines. im more thinking along the lines of a gas leek

great job
