6 Alarm factory fire in Philadelphia. Numerous master streams, aerial devices and hand lines were in service. Numerous explosions and collapses occurred throughout the bldg. Companies had heavy fire in a 4 story bldg approx 1 city block long and wide, with a 1-1/2 story 100 X 100 commercial bldg as an exposure. The fire bldg was a manufacturing plant for packaging material, popcorn foam and similar petroleum products. The bldg was eventually fully involved with extension to the exposure bldg. Crews successfully fought back the fire in the exposure bldg with an interior attack. Companies were on scene with details for days hitting hot spots. http://www.feeneyfirefilms.com

  • To answer both your comments. This was a factory, manufactured packaging material for shipping, styrofoam etc...No one lost their home, but it put a lot of people out of work. As far as what is falling in front of the camera, I think you may be seeing the transitions that go from scene to scene, They appear to be falling. Othere than that, there may have been some embers, and there were numerous collapses of the building during this fire.

  • holly crap! they got to replace everything poor familys

  • Nice work P.F.D. Video wasn't bad! Always more enjoyable when one hears actual radio traffic instead of unrelated music!

  • That explains why it burned so fiercly then. Thanks for the reply.
