North Beach Fire House Fire - San Francisco - Nov 5, 2007

At 2:26 in the video, you can see the fireman walking through the upper level with their flashlights. You can also hear the chainsaw and firemen hacking through the roof to create ventilation holes earlier. Very eerie sounding.

No one was injured in this fire. Fire on Mason street. Turn your sound on, the hacking and chain saws are eerie! It's a bit shaky, as I didn't have a tripod and was a bit adrenalized. I wound up taking this into ABC 7. Thought they were going to use it for the morning show, but as it turns out, it didn't run. After I told them I wold give it to them, the wisked me up to the live newsroom floor. I would have gotten some ke-zash if I would have called at 9pm vs 10:45 pm. A day late and a dollar short like usual. I called at 10:45 and they said it was too late to get paid for the video. I told them I didn't want any money, I'd give it to them, he had me deliver it personally to the news room floor after I said that. It seemed like they almost got it into the 11:00 news, it was just too short notice for them. Was a fun experience though.

Hey you have a nice view of the city from your place! - did the fire go thru to that street?

Hey , great footage ! It looks like a good 2 or 3 alarmer there . It's a shame with all of the wood frame structures that the City has that they burn up that quickly . Everyone should have a working fire extinguisher and a smoke detector where they live .
