I thought a second alarm was rather excessive myself, considering how heavy the 1st alarm boxes for that little home. But I wasn't there so it's hard to judge just a comment.
Significant factors here are these older wood-frame houses are only a few feet apart. The fire in the original structure is going good. There's a breeze & it is winter in Buffalo, NY. The crews will need to be rotated out. This whole block could have gone up if the IC didn't think ahead. They've already had one truck crash while responding & the streets look very icy. A second alarm is a sound idea at this time.
Why was a second alarm pulled and the fire is under control 20 minutes in? Ladder 2 filling in for truck 7 and company staging on Olympic and Shrek, one big cluster.
You’re a volunteer. Fighting fires is a hobby for you, not a career. Let the professionals that go to more fires in a week than you do in your entire career do what they do best.
When the roof line starts at the base of the second floor, it's considered a 1 1/2 story house. This is correct. The attic here is not considering living space.
I was there 3-4 mins before the Engine got on scene. The Truck, just happened to be close by coming back from another run. A line was being advanced interior, but the stairs were already compromised. An exterior line was eventually deployed.
BFD's trucks have a pump to supply water to their ladders' & towers' pipes. They do not operate as quints. The truck crew's responsibilities are to perform forcible entry, ventilation & search for victims. This then allows the engine crews to hit the fire with water without fear of a smoke explosion, or injuring occupants & searchers with steam or debris.
They should have been able to extinguished that fire with tank water. Interior attacks much less water damage. I can’t believe they pulled a second alarm on that fire. SMH
Volunteer Firefighters trying to tell professionals how to do their job. Crazy. These dudes have been to more fires in a week than you have in your entire career.

Was a nice looking little house. Original clapboard still on it, not vinyl. Somebody cared for this house.
I thought it was so sweet that couple helped that older lady into her house

“Ladder 7 hit a telephone pole” WTF??? HOW???
If you look at the street surfaces, you'll see snow & ice. Fire trucks slide, real well.
Curious why they couldn't make the push from the inside.
they did, but had to pull out due to fire and heat conditions.
@@daveg3175 they normally make the push, must have been kicking!!! The Brothers do work in Buffalo for sure!!!
Great coverage of the fire scene. Great work BFD with another aggressive attack! 👍👍👍
Prayers that everyone is safe at the accident and prayers that everyone is safe at the house fire
I am watching from Elmira NY good job Buffalo fire department
Not to smart letting neighbors lady in house when structers next door is still heavy fire
I agree @Kris Steele

If you were listening ladder 7 was involved in an accident.
You know everything
@@joefriday1586 I was listening and and if you're on the Eastside you know to utilize companies, Work smarter not harder.
@@gregsellers1547 I know enough to use what you have, instead of using companies from a distance.

Were they ever able to put it out ?
Eventually
Heavy fire on the first floor?
Heavy fire on the #1 side, aka front.
this doesn't look to me like a 1 and a half story structure...

This house is total loss
I didn’t understand why no one arriving on the engine crew , didn’t have three mask on and it took forever to them to put water on the fire
Crews arriving first were picking up from another fire. There was also an issue with the hydrant.
WHERE WAS THE WATER 1 LINE OUTSIDE WOULD HAVE HELPED

Let’s let the professionals do their job. You sound like a volunteer. These guys do this for a living, not a hobby like you.
Ladder truck had water/pump, could have been fighting fire first
Buffalo does not want Quints
Dry pump, no water, in buffalo a truck is a truck
@@murthad02 I know. DC and FDNY same way. I’ve seen videos of them waiting for an engine to fight the fire
From an untrained observer. Seens like water could be applied quicker in most videos I watch

Water damage was least there problem. House was gone on arrival.
