Yeah I agree with you 🚒🚒🔥🔥🔥🚨🚨😅😅

It looks like an LAFD unit with the light mounting but the door seal looks like Los Angeles County.

If only Plymouth had made a few 4-door GTXs, seeing as how both the Fury and the GTX shared the very same style of grille?!

I remember seein this in 1990 when I was 8 yrs old, and one thing I remember well is that aftervthis flick I just couldn't sleep:)

The Towering Inferno was the Name of this Film.

@@DarthRevan-rp5sn thank you. I'm going to order it, if it's still around

@@virginiawolfe2581 You are Welcome

I saw this great movie 1975, was 10 years old. This is one of my favorite movies all time. The greatest cast ever.

You're right, that sequence is in the original cut. I suspect it was cut from this sequence just for time/memory restrictions.

Just the 81 floor XD

Was one of those fireman Randolph Mantooth from Emergency!

@@lancemckellar no. They did film two Emergency! movies that took place in San Francisco, though, at that firehouse.

And all because the chief electrician (the builder’s son-in-law) had an air vent in an 81ST floor storage closet as well as one of the circuit boxes!

The tiller is a Seagrave which was brand new at the time they shot the movie, not an ALF, they had a fleet of ALF Pioneer and 900 series tillers at the time (late 60s, early 70s) though.

@@magdickakahy, thank you for the correction. I took a closer look and you are correct, indeed.

Lemme see it was a cheif engine 4 engine 38 rescue 2 and truck 15

Same! Older fire trucks are so gorgeous! I'm way late replying to this too lol! 😂😊

We all do. Until we dump all the air and the brakes lock up. :)

PaulsPhotoService isn't station 4 in Mission Bay?

I watched them film this. They were in North Beach and only came down California near Grant and down Kearney. I got chewed out by the director as I was getting in the way of the shot & he was annoyed by my questions. My girlfriend & I ate at a Hunan restaurant where the AMC dealership was as one of the engines passes it. That was on Broadway. I later went to Califonia & Kearney to be an extra in the bleachers and the dedication ceremony started.

PaulsPhotoService And it was NOT 2 miles from Broadway to the former Bank of America world headquarters building. About 12-14 blocks as they turn onto Broadway & go down to Columbus & turn onto Kearney in one shot and head down California at Grant to Kearney in another. I watched a lot of movies & tv bring filmed in SF as I lived there from 1964-1968 & 1970-1980. And I’ve walked that entire area dozens of times.

It's a Fricken Movie..Lighten up..

He clearly enjoyed the movie nonetheless and only pointed out errors, which is a good thing to do. Perhaps you should lighten up.

American La France

rounder front with roof: American LaFrance, without roof: Seagrave, boxier front: Ford

🤣😂

He only sounded the alarm!

Spark Plaus Productions SFFD probably does send a heavier than normal response to high rises. I don't know exactly how many though. FDNY sends a heavy response, but not that many.

Spark Plaus Productions they probably sent more than usual because they probably also got multiple phone calls reporting the fire

Considering the size of the fire as well as the fact that it's a high rise involved, the response size seems to make sense. Years after this movie, the First Interstate Bank building in downtown Los Angeles had a fire that burned through 4 floors, and had a massive response to it involving over 300 firefighters. It is still the largest structure fire in Los Angeles history.

it was about average for Boston pre-10 Alarm implementation in 1980, even today you’d get and extra ladder, engine, and district chief on top of the normal 3 engines, two ladders, rescue company, tower ladder, district chief, and RIT engine, ladder, and district chief

And it would have the iconic Dragnet 1967/Adam 12/Squad 51 siren when he showed up.

It should have been a 4-door GTX, seeing as how it shared the same grille work with the 1971 Fury.

It’s actually spelled I-R-W-I-N.
