Working House Fire With Leaking Gas Meter And Fire Through The Roof

GFD was toned out for a reported still alarm at 824 Van Buren, on arrival Engine 8 advised of a working fire in a 2 story frame house. Crews made an aggressive interior attack, but could not stop the fire from traveling to the attic. In the rear of the house the gas meter was leaking natural gas, I am sure this helped ...the spread of the fire up the siding. After about 30 minutes the crews brought the fire under control, searches were made and came up negative. Arson investigators were requested to the scene and nobody was injured.

Mabas21, superb video, as always. N00b buff question, what was the apparatus the FF removed from the truck at 4:45?

I was waiting for 8:17, excellent catch!

Glad that gas meter didn't do something really unruly while it looked like you were close to it....
