This first shot was a jumper rescue..they were just helping the victim down..apparently he was threatening to jump onto the Fisher Freeway....

We arrived just in time to see the last part of the rescue

[Guest]

nothing at all the rest of the day...about 0500 we went to what turned into a 2nd alarm and East Warren and Somerser

[Guest]

fire was in what appeared to be an empty dollar store

[Guest]

pretty much knocked down..none of the 2nd alarm units had arrived yet

[Guest]

the exposure 4, a liquor store looked like it might be involved too

[Guest]

some forcible entry

[Guest]

overall view

[Guest]

some decent smoke when they got in

[Guest]

around the rear...a class in forcible entry problems

[Guest]

getting ready to go in

[Guest]

2nd alarm engine making a hydrant

[Guest]

still a little smoke

[Guest]

available light

[Guest]

nice shot of the 1st due truck

 

[Guest]

smoke got interesting for a little bit

[Guest]

due on the 2nd ladder 23

[Guest]

going to the roof...see the baloons tied to the posts? There was a murder here and this was a makeshift memorial...the firebombing was apparently retaliation for this event.

[Guest]

kinda neat how the aerial held down the barbed wire

[Guest]

looked good but was actually the result of hydraulic ventilation and PPV
