3rd Turn Fully Involved Vacant House Fire At Miller Ave And Dekalb

my dad a photographer for two newspapers at different times, he did EXACTLY what you did, go to fires and accident. i have heard many a gory story from him.

holy flames

Same block that had the house explosion several years ago. Surprised there aren't more fires in that area.

Nice video! Very nice footage. My shift worked a structure yesterday morning that looked vey similar. We arrived to a fully involved single story, couldnt do much except surround and drown. Only problem was an exposure that caught up on one side before we got there. Vinyl siding just melted off though, fortunately for the homeowners.

Good video, not much action since you had to hide.

Wish I could have gotten the guys working, but there is always 1st and 2nd turn. Thanks for the comment

It was about 15 feet, looks a lot closer than I really was. I am all about safety, trust me. My camera doesn't have zoom while I am recording so I just zoom before I start recording, thats why it looks like I am in the building,lol. Out of all the fires to date I have never been injured and don't plan on it.

Sorry, but 15 feet is way too close for anyone except Firefighters. Anybody not there to put out the fire should be across the street. You can still get great footage and not be on the actual fireground like you are. It is the I.C's responsibility to ensure everyone's safety and be accountable for everyone's actions on the scene. There is no way the I.C. can be accountable for your actions and safety when you are this close.

I was a volunteer for 7 years and know when it's time to go, in those 7 years I suffered one injury being a sprained ankle.
