  • What camera did you shoot this on?

  • @patcism Yeah, the easiest way to remember is that (typically) the A side is the Address side, and then its just clock wise to get the rest of the sides.

  • @TheCodymcclung51 Thanks! That is pretty interesting!

  • @patcism In general firefighting terms Alpha is the front of the building with Bravo being the left side, Charlie being the back, and Delta being the right side. A for the front and sides B C & D go clockwise around the building.

  • I live in Mt. Holly. I don't remember hearing anything about this situation.

  • Wow! Those shots are really coll! You should have submitted them to the news!

  • What distinguishes the different sides of the building? How does it work?

  • @mad4hotwheels its camden.  its just surprising. probably a meth lab blown up or someone murdered then burned to burn the evidence away.

  • Plenty of fire for everyone! Good job filming and editing.

  • Seriously what was this like 3 city blocks squared out of just one abandone building fire??? How'd it travel so far?
