This is part one of my video and probably the best part. I didn't get the collapses but i got some heavy smoke conditions from the front and the rear of the building. My mom ended up taking the latter part of the videos so i gotta do some editing. My dad was in on the 2nd Alarm with the command post (unit 900) and you can hear me talking to him at the beginning.

  • As we used to say, "9 line snot-jerker"!

  • @InteriorCommando Yep. A snot slinger.

  • What us oldtimers used to call a "snotty" fire...

  • i seen the pics for this fire my instructer shown me this one we didnt respond to it but he had some good pics

  • yeah lots of standing there, well why don't you stick to whatever it is you do. Statements like that come from the same people who say fireman just sit around all day and watch T.V. that is until they need help......bravo on a ignorant sounding comment

  • Lots of standing there watching it, it looked to me.

  • 1st Alarm = 5 Engines, 1 Hook & Ladder, 1 Heavy Rescue Squad, 2 Chiefs.

    All additional alarms build from there, adding Engines, Trucks, Chiefs, Squads and the Command Post.

  • Based on a interview with a captain on this job a interior attack was initially made.

    Men , there is no building worth dying for.If there was a confirmed entrapment I would understand the effort, but on a job like this set up the big guns from the get go and drown it. Things go south quickly on a job like this and crews sent inside can quickly get disoriented /cut off by fast moving fire /get caught in a flashover/ backdraft.Many times guys we kill our own and blame the fire !

  • What is a 1st alarm, 2nd alarm, 3rd alarm, 4th alarm, and 5th alarm assignment in Saint Louis/

  • I grew up in that dairy...my grandfather ran the place...damn
