IVY - 19 jun 09 fire unedited pt 1 - the response

responding to a structure fire - It was originally paged for Grand Rapids Twp, then given to us when more details were obtained - but we ended up calling them in anyway :) It was a house attached to a horse barn - no one was home and the horses were rescued right away - we stopped it before it got to the barn part of the structure. Appears to have been caused by a lightning strike ... This is the "Unedited" version of the video, for you purists ... :P

Do volunteers run blue lights in your area?

[firewolfranger]

nope, that's a cop you're seeing - he was first on scene and confirmed the working fire as we were responding (I think he may have been part of rescuing the horse from the barn, too ...)

@chakie14

This state only allows blue for LEO,FF is only allowed red,everyone is allowed amber and white.

:D No, actually, I was sitting at home working on my computer (or was it playing on the computer? ... :P) Anyway, heard GRT get toned for it, so at that point, I was getting ready 'cause I knew in that area they'd call us for mutual. So I was all ready to go when they cancelled them and toned us ... Actually hadn't gotten a LOT of thunder/lightning, mostly rain - this one just happened to be a "lucky" shot pretty much ...

[Camzasaur]

I bet you were sitting in your car ready for a call when this came through.. Lightning = busy night for you. Where I live, we never get a thunderstorm that big!

Love both versions. Keep them coming and stay safe brother!!! (from Lacombe Fire)
