  • Earn an ISO Class 1 Rating and then you can talk,but until that happens(which will be never) dont talk crap. Even El Paso can show the Class 1 on their Trucks!!!!!!!!

  • Typical AFD surround and drown my ass shit heads. A couple good guys got hurt at that fire. All you county ass holes burn down everything you touch. We burn one down every now and then but we save A LOT more then you dip shits ever will. I mean your last house fire! what a joke! you guys burned it down and blamed "sawdust" how gay are you? Our equipment is better then yours because we're better then you and that's how it has been and always will be. GET OVER IT.

  • AFD Always Getting New Equipment, But yet there "Surround and Drown" technique still Lives on.. Pathetic

  • i was there

  • typical AFD surround and drown

  • Can the "Backdraft" theme music - fire videos are always better with no music and fire audio. Too bad you weren't there for the collapse..otherwise good camera work, nice ad steady, nice clean shots, thanks for posting.
