It seems like no matter how much water is being used the fire just keeps getting bigger.

...for what to turn to steam before it even gets to the fire.....for this fog would not be correct choice...nor would it be for any fire that you"couldnt get to"...straight tip....so you can penetrate....fog wont even touch it

Love the video. I Know I have been at my share of fires that were tough to get at. It seems what ever you do it does not work. I also think that a fog pattern works really well.

The fire building? The one that burned? Yes. The building started out, I've heard, as a mattress factory. It used to be much bigger--one of the fire captains said that his first fire was there 27 years ago. The original post and beam/tongue and groove construction had been built over through the years, and the firemen said that once the fire gets into that, it's really tough to fight. I'm up against the character count...send me a pm if you'd like to discuss.

nice vid. love the trucks.

I must say this is the one and only video i see of firefighters using a fog pattern on their arials and I think it works better than a straight stram. with a straight stream it just goes right past whats burning and does nothing. waste of water in my opinion

Hi zaffdoc--Nice video. I work at the place, and can clear up some of the apparent confusion. There were no 'barrels of distillate'. We make a wood product used to age spirits, but we don't actually 'do' that. None of the spirits we had, sample amounts only, burned. The "heavy fire load" in the upstairs that was such a problem was old hotel furniture and business records that were stored there by the buiiding's owner. The structure of the 120 year old building was also a factor.

Thanks Shreveptech for clearing up the confusion. That fire load made up of the old hotel furniture really gave the firefighters a tough time. I did not realize the building was that old.. You did mean the fire building... right?

Was every ladder rescue and engine at the fire?

No. Shreveport has 21 engines, 7 ladder trucks, 2 rescue trucks, 8 medic units, 6 battalion chiefs. However, they did rotate a lot of them in and out of this fire. The orignial response was 4 engines, 2 ladder trucks, 1 rescue and battalion chief 1.
