Find a new fetish. One truck and a hose put it out.

Common attic - plus no firewalls. But this really sounds like a Germanism: "row house" - "Reihenhaus." The Brits call these "terraced houses." Cheers!

That is so true, been to a few as a VFF as well and it was hell on earth. One was a community of town homes that were only up about 2 years and then poof, one gets and electric short fire starts then a whole row goes. Then the heat starts to get to the next one and the siding or roof catches and you have another one going, 6 departments for that call and by the next morning we finally had it pretty much down to clean up. We were some tired guys that day when we got home, took a shower and I was in bed and out before my head hit the pillow.

@@josephbrown822 yeah that's what started the one I was at, and before we could get a on it, it moved so fast that half the street was gone before we knew it. Luckily there were injuries to anyone and everyone was able to get out in time, but many families were displaced.

Correct.

Probably have a common cockloft and just traveled right through and most likely balloon framing. Aka. No fire stop at all

@@MoparGuy1625 Row frames are not typically balloon framed. EDIT: I was unaware that some Row Frames were balloon construction. Here in the 5 Boroughs of NYC they are Braced Frame to the best of my knowledge.

Dried out probably usually 3x3 fire stops.. if aged like kindling

Homes built right after ww2 probably .Easton is or was manufactured town

These huge fires happen way too frequently

I'd pitch a tent under a bridge before I lived in one of these. Sad for all the residents and hope everyone got out safely and got any pets they have out. Great job to all the fire crews!

So you live in an all concrete and sprinklered house? If not...were you too much of a cheap skate to build one that way?

I also could never ever live in "a row house", way too scary for me.

Then dont..

You would probably get shot on the way to the store before that happens.

So what is your answer to this question?

@@Biggestfoot10209 It's most likely that these homes will be condemned and torn down. They were a disaster waiting to happen. Adding to this tragedy is the likelihood that the people living there could not afford the cost to have their homes rehabilitated. This appears to be a low-income district, with people living very close to or at the poverty level.

So, because water is used to put out fire, and water causes damage to the housing, we should just let them burn? You do realize that's ridiculous, right?

@@Madmac96 No, I'm not advocating that water NOT be poured on the fire in the quantities needed to extinguish the blaze - the firefighters had no choice but to do all they could to put it out. What I was getting at in my comment above was to say that PREVENTING fires - and the consequent need TO pour water on them - SHOULD always be the main objective. In the case of these unfortunate row-houses, their "goose was cooked" the moment that fire spread out of control. There was NO avoiding the fire and water damage that resulted. The only choice the fire crews had WAS to put out the fire as quickly as possible before it spread to additional structures in the neighborhood. Those houses were, in effect, SACRIFICED in order to save others. It's a shame this happened to what looked like q nicely-cared-for set of row houses, and most especially to the people living in them.

What you saw here is Fountain Statue Fire Playing. When you saw the streams of water going through the windows, do you think there was even a little fire in those rooms? There wasn't even smoke coming out those windows. You have to go in there and surgically apply the water to the burning material and just the burning material. They destroyed that entire building flooding it like that. Absolutely no need for it either.

Back in the 1800s early 1900s lol certainly not anymore not to mention UK houses are made of brick and concrete not this flammable wood and dry wall utter shit and abysmal danger.

Thank You

From what we saw this is mostly an offensive fire. If you can't see what's burning, how are you going to get water on it?

Those houses are older than dirt. Probably wasn't any fire wall laws when they were being built

Roof ventilation is ridiculous. Weren't there enough dormer windows for you?

That was the evac tones building was in jeopardy of collapsing so they sold the air horns to let all firefighters know to get out asap

That's a GTFO tone, firefighters hear that and head to the door quickly

@@jonarmedpiandsecurityoffic9051 Well yes, they MUST hear that signal when their own lives are in jeopardy, but I believe there is a chance that inside a fire building with all that noise around them, firemen might miss it. Especially when under stress, it is possible not to hear and see everything around you. So in addition, this warning signal should come over the radio from the Battalion Chief as well, if possible. All the best!

That would be no problem whatsoever. Could be they are drafting from a pond.

Fire ❤ hope those families are OK

you got issues brodie

Double negatives. Didn’t you go to school.

@@Biggestfoot10209 nope

Forget the premiums. They just let stuff that CAN'T be replaced.

Who cares? What a RUDE thing to say!!!! At least they answered the call when danger struck. Do you???

one thing I have learned in my short life, is that weight is one of those things is hard to control simply because we dont understand how our bodies work and why it does what it does, if you listen to the experts they will tell you it is a lack of self control, I am here to tell you that is only partially true, they will lead you to do the oppisite of what you should do, maybe they are confused maybe they are misled or maybe they are just evil and want people to stay unhealthy and to hate themselves who knows the heart of some people, i know wiht weight watchers they dont want you to be successful especially on your own otherwise you wont need them anymore and who will pay them?

Chas aka Bigcheezmoe,what's chubies got to do with fighting a fire,my son was chubies and was one of the best firefighters out there,and went to every call,so are you a firefighter 😤 🚒🚑😊👍...

@@shelbymccoy3936 ya really. ..

@@cherylt8590 Cheryl, under strenuous conditions those with high BMI are associated with high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. They will end up having a hart attack while on the job thereby requiring emergency treatment during an already emergency situation.

That's their choice

You have a mix between volunteers and paid guys who all have different levels of lax on rules
