  • Wow, that's sad to see their belongings strewn about, stocking hung with care all to be ruined by some irresponsible workers.

  • Ya that was sad but the christmas presents the parents bought for their kids were saved. The kids got there christmas presents that day.

  • what do you mean parents bought?  what happen to Santa

  • Santa was on vacation

  • Nice work! I'd say you had a good response time / attack, b/c any propane fire I've been on, the building is usually so saturated it ends up being a massive fire ball! If you have propane heating/gas appliances in your home is it required by law to have a Propane Detector in the residence in Bellevue?

  • Im not sure to be honest with you, i believe code enforcement and the fire marshalls would know but i personally dont. I believe most people in my town use gas or electric appliances. This was a propane tank used by workers on the roof. From what i saw and heard this fire was free burning half an hour before we were called. I know on arrival fire was through the roof. It was a good save.

  • vacation my ass

  • Also this fire was not in Bellevue, it was in Ben Avon boro which is approximatly 2 miles away, on our 1st alarm structural responses 108 truck was added and since they have a paid driver 24 hours a day he is able to get the truck there quickly so it can be placed in the front of the structure.. All I can say is the initial 1st alarm did a great job and I thank them even after in the first few minutes of fire attack the 3rd floor flashed as the first attack crew was advancing.

  • I was in command of this fire for the first 30-40 mintues. Roofers were installing box gutters and using a rubber material to line the inside of the gutter, they were using a portable propane tank to heat and melt the material. They accidently lit the roof on fire and there was a long delay in calling 911 since the workers tried putting it out themselves. When the 1st alarm companies arrived the 3rd floor was already was well involved.
