Great video guy.... Sorry for the guys loss, but you did a hell of a job with the video. I hate these people that put a 10 or 30 second video up.....

@rico334 The video was shot with a Zoom Q3HD Handy Video Recorder - it is posted unedited.

that is bullshit the fire department took there sweet ass time

[comoxbass]

@margretzp This is a volunteer Fire Dept which is a 10 min drive from this location. Considering the firefighters would have been at home or at work and made it to the Hall, suited up and were rolling within 10 minutes is a very good response time. Ir definitely felt much longer standing there waiting. They also had to run 1400 feet of hose since there were no hydrants near this house.

@margretzp You obviously have no clue on how volunteer fire departments work. A dumb ass comment from a uneducated person who has probably NEVER put their life on the line to save the life or property of a stranger. So until you can say you have, don't comment on videos that you know nothing about!

@Lazyike67 they can save the exteriors like when the firefighters first got on scene they were putting water on the house across from the one that was burning. and volly departments dont just put out fires they also cut people out of cars, take injured or sick people to the hospital, water rescue and so on!

[kawasakikx250ff]

@385chev well you got to think their was not enough water to have multiple hose lines out at the same time they had to wait till they had enough water plus their was powerlines down

i didnt think u had a fire dept for a min

[385chev]

hmmm a one sided attack wtf?

[juniorskates99]

@Lazyike67 Be sure to tell that to your local dept and inform your neighbors of your BRILLIANT plan. Make sure your trapped too and let's see how good of a job they do of getting you out...alive.

Its funny how the fire dept is the first to be blamed when your house fully made of combustible material burns up in a matter of minutes. You also chose to build in a rural area. Volunteer fire delta are just like any other career dept unless your in the big city one block from the station.

@Lazyike67 Seriously? If you think along those lines you should also blame the home owner for not having set up a sprinkler system. Houses are lost to fire even in big citys. MONEY. All those things cost money. Lots of it.

I would have gotten a chain and pulled the other vehicles away from the house

maybe the guy that is badmouthing the fire dept should volunteer to see exactly how long it takes to get to the fire department from work,or home when the call goes out, then get suited up in gear,and to get the fire equipment to the fire without wrecking or killing someone, I think the volunteers did a great job for what they had to endure. So Sign up to help and stop criticising the ones who put their time and lives on the line, you did the easy part and called 911, they get the hard part.
