Toronto Firefighters Respond to 4-alarm Blaze - Part I
Loading...
Uploaded by chip104 on Jul 23, 2011
July 23, 2011. Was biking home from Kensington Market and came across a fire along Brunswick Ave just north of College (Fire station just down the street).
Toronto FS were inside the house in just over 5 minutes (breaking windows to clear smoke), had the aerial going in less than 10 minutes, and knocked down the external flames in less than 15 mins. These guys were responding just like clockwork.
This is a prime example of our tax dollars at work. In 2009, there were 8,947 fire responses in the city. That's 3x more fires than Toronto firefighters.(1) We depend on these city workers on a daily basis for situations like this. With Mr. Rob Ford's proposed cuts, the already thinly-spread essential services will be affected even more. (2)
Mr. Ford, why are you playing russian roulette with the denizens of this city?

the guy catching the hydrant was a firefighter from that same hall responding to the fire (but on a different shift) - right place right time.

He is an off duty firefighter, that works in that district (I think out of that hall even) he was biking spotted the smoke, biked to the hall, let the on duty crew know. Because he knew some trucks were out of service he helped the first in crews. Toronto Firefighters live in and protect the community 24/7 on or off duty! Great job done by the first in crews even though they are understaffed!!!!!

Why is there a dude in regular street clothes hitting the hydrant???

@thetalentedm seemed like the dude was also a firefighter. I think he was biking around the area (@2:30 I think is his bike) and happened upon the fire. He was down with all the other reponders.
