I Love watching fire fighter videos because it reminds me of my Dad in his younger years as a proffessional firefighter and all the great things he and his comrades Did and the Risks They had to go through doing their best to protect save lives and properties in their Choosen Occupation, i Love you and very proud of you Dad, I Miss you A Lot, RIP !!! I LOVE ALL FIREFIGHTERS !!!
I lived a couple miles up the road in Pawtucket and took a nap that afternoon. When I woke up I saw the coverage on the NBC Nightly News (national broadcast). I was like WHAT?! Slept right through it like an idiot.
If anyone thinks fighting fire is easy, show them this video. These Firefighters are going to be really tired after this. After the fire's out then the real work starts. Overhaul alone is going to be time consuming and hard work and then there is repacking the equipment. Good job on the video, Sparky.
Century old structure, Wind driven fire it most likely went up quick. If one takes note of the older commercial and industrial structures as well as some of the older residential structures they is a direct correlation between the intensity of the fires and the age of the structures. The reason for this is different from new construction. In new construction the materials are more to blame for the hotter more intense fires. In older structures the biggest factor is the dryness of the organic building materials combined with the lack of understanding about fire behaviour back in the day this understanding was much more rudimentary. I do not bash those involved either the firefighters nor the builders from 100 years ago.
I remember this fire. I had a shop in Seekonk, MA a few miles away. I remember seeing the smoke and thinking it was a strip mall a mile away... The fire was actually a few miles away but the smoke was so heavy and thick it looked like it was closer! What a day that was
I was at work in south attleboro and mine mother was rushing me to get in the car to get home because I lived in the area and she was worried about our house going up plus this was the week before thanksgiving
I remember being at that fire. Including propane tanks exploding and tanks flying into some of the houses. 40mph winds were blowing embers to houses as far as 2 blocks away. There was an entire neighborhood on fire. Embers we’re starting fires on rooftops. They said it was started in the brick multiple floor vacant building being renovated. A welders torch in the old building started the fire last I heard.
I was in elementary school at curvin McCabe the school their talking about pouring water on the roof . Think it was 5th grade I was in I remember them evacuating us and fire balls flying above us it was pretty crazy
A type of fire that is burning 12 houses and a commercial building you need to start downwind before it gets spread to other houses I'm sure you've seen forest fires like in California last year with the Santa Ana winds I've been through them fires but I live in Iowa now you need to start downwind and put them out towards upwind
Been on some big wind driven job's but not like this. This was comparable to all the clips that I've watched how many cities in Europe and Asia were burned too the ground after fire bombing raids in WWII.
There's another one at 8:50... runs out then changes its mind and runs back under the hedge. Finally makes a break for it at 9:02. Poor guys... nothing scares a cat worse than chaos, and they were getting a sh*t load of mayhem on that day.

That wind was howling. It's a miracle it didn't take more homes a distance away.
I really feel for the firefighters fighting this monster and not being able to stop it sooner. They had one hell of a battle.

It's not easy, but easier when your trained properly.
Omg I feel so so sorry for all the home owners losing their homes.

It was a miracle the wind wasn't blowing the other way. They would have lost the neighborhood.
This reminds me of when old lady leary lit the lantern in the shed and the cow kicked it over and burned the whole town of Chicago down. Wow!

What a coincidence.

You know it's a rager of a fire when it starts generating its own wind.
Wow ! ,a wind driven fire at its worst.
Man, the wind was howling that day. The site is a strip mall now

Are you daft?
akaBryan No it was a different one this time but still, crazy
so sad, i hope no lives were lost
1topfueldrag nobody didn’t die that day but a lot of people lost their homes
Was Truck no. 2 ex FDNY Mack Tower Ladder? Sure looks like it.
All those 17 homes were destroyed and rebuilt and look nice now.
Wonder who got stuck with the bill,for all those homes going up in smoke?
Sad to see.
I was in elementary school at curvin McCabe the school their talking about pouring water on the roof . Think it was 5th grade I was in I remember them evacuating us and fire balls flying above us it was pretty crazy
Wasn't this across from their Station 4?
bill330 I believe so.
Yes it is and near the school
I was at work that day and when I got home I didn’t have power on
I guess that you were lucky that you still had a home.
I guess that one got away from them, looks very windy 🌬
I was 3 years old when this happened

Worcester ma had some of those old Mack trucks.bucket scope
Why would theyputamill&housesthathat close?
Poor planning from over 100 years ago they didn't think it would burn and did not think it would spread
Sometimes the mills owned the housing that they rented to the employees. Back in the era when employees walked to work, close housing was sought.
@@jackseamon7064 makessense
Probably the other way around John. The mill came first, then housing built up around it.
@@briankistner4331 stupid people
I think its still burning

Leave& come back in3 days
At the 8:35 point in video see that cat run by
Peter Jermyn Cat figures it’s time to move on.
I wonder how many pets died due to being trapped in houses?
There's another one at 8:50... runs out then changes its mind and runs back under the hedge. Finally makes a break for it at 9:02. Poor guys... nothing scares a cat worse than chaos, and they were getting a sh*t load of mayhem on that day.
