    I hate when people stop filming when the fire is no where close to being over.

      The thing is, batteries often dont last for the two to three hours it may take to get the fire out. And these camera people are there on their own dime, so, please cut them some slack.

    Im no expert, but, yelling in the radio causes messages to be difficult to understand. Messages become garbled, causing confusion.

      Must have been a quick move in to have gotten in there during the fire and have only lived there during the fire! Did they make any friends with firefighters while living there

      I probably say some hot embers landed on the church and caught the shingles on fire

    • @henrythompson8582
      @henrythompson8582 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The heat plume rising from apartment fire causes an exposure risk to the church steeple (radiant heating). The steeple looked old, catches fire easily, therefore has emotional value.

    0:48 Any wonder why the fire got so big? Where's the water? You hit this from the sidewalk with a 2.5" line or with the Fastest Tool you have. The Deck Gun! Any idea how long it takes to get a ladder up there? The Chief sure doesn't take that into consideration.
    2:40 And just how long did it take for the Chief to decide that this was a good idea? Put water on the Visible Burning Material? Who would have thought?
    3:18 Well that was an effective application of water. You actually have to move your feet, right and left, back and forth to get a line of site on the entire room and THINK of where every drop is going and what it is doing.
    3:33 Any wonder why The WFD can't get things done?
    15:05 This is great! All that water!

      You making comments without knowing all the pertinent information;
      - What does the A side look like, based on some of the shots from the front it looked it had heavy fire showing.
      - Did they have companies working inside at the time, don't want to throw water through a window if they are.
