Goood Evening Sir. Your video and images were well done. I apologize for the turn the comments took. JB91710 is a well known troll and apparently elicits pretty strong feelings from people. Please don’t let him effect what you do.
Thanks for encouragement. My main Goal is to sell video footage to the News Networks. I put some of the extra footage on this channel. His comments do not bother me. Thanks again for the positive feedback.
ffjsb if people would stop engaging him in the comment section, he would probably stop. The more people say the more he comments. He obviously has a screw loose.
Anyone willing to put their lives on the line to save others, and to fight one of the most difficult things to control (fire) have my full respect. I live in Britain, our Firefighters are some of the best in the world. A lot being learnt from the huge blazes brought about by war. My Great Uncle was one of those. Today there is more to protect the men and woman. However, as a Now retired Nursing Sister, I have experienced the fight fighters injured while fighting to control blazes where fire has been the least of the hazards involved. Chemicals, and chocking smoke being 2 of the more evil of the combatants!
Authorities investigating an explosion and fire last week at a home in north suburban Northbrook have found no evidence the blaze was intentionally set or to indicate it was suspicious in nature, but the cause remains undetermined.- Chicago Sun-Times
Don't wooden houses burn well. Sadly here in the UK we are following your lead and building shoddy stud and ply death traps. Even the wood frame and brick clad houses are beyond saving before the fire service arrive.
Thanks to all the people that watched this video. WOW over 7K views. I am not sure what algorithm hit on this video,But thanks it is very cool to know that people are watching. Please, If you like my channel Subscribe.
I often wonder about firemen and women who don't wear masks when they are outside of the burning structure. It would seem to me that they would inhale an awful lot of smoke which I would think would not be good for their long term health.
good grief! I certainly hope that all residents and firefighters were okay! I'm so very sorry to see the loss of the homes, my wish is that all are okay.
Too bad such beautiful looking homes are build too close to each other. Looks like maybe... 10 feet between the houses. What can be of used in areas which homes like these (attached garage), is a towing rig on one of the larger trucks. The stubborn fire inside the garage was a car with foam of which it looked like petroleum burning. Perhaps someway a towing gig could hook up to push or pull the car out onto the driveway curtain. (Not when it or the building is fully involved however) Or perhaps have a way to put foam onto the "oil" fire. Just saying!
Stop making comments when you don’t know anything about car fires. Cara don’t blow up like they do in the movies in fires. I have a friend who’s car was in a fire and a full gas tank and didn’t even make a spark.
@@eddiem5244 Perhaps you might re-read my comment. I said nothing about a car blowing up. I know it takes a lot for that to happen and there wasn't enough. Please instead of making accusations, make sure you answer what was said.
Looks like an out of control gas line in the garage, still flaring as the firemen put water on it... There's the culprit right there...Big, bad leak of some kind got that going... Blew a big portion of the house to the moon!
Northbrook, IL is an area with a lot of money. The explosion happened at 2500 block of Melanie Lane. The people there only have lots that are maybe 50' wide and yes, I guess you can say they are kinda close like any city. Considering what the department came onto when pulling up to the scene they did a great job of saving the houses that needed saving. The house that was engulfed, that didn't have a chance. Luckily, all 3 homes were evacuated safely and residents were able to find places to stay with friends or relatives. That isn't an easy job for anyone and not everyone can handle the FF or EMS jobs.
Thanks Dennis, I could not have said it any better then that. I wish I could have got footage from the rear of the the house, but the police had the area pretty well blocked off..
Dennis try a fire that had destroyed a large swath of Buffalo's East Side(it was a warehouse explosion) N.Division and Grosenvor,it was December 27,1983,it killed 7 two elderly occupants in a house next door and 5 Buffalo,NY Fire Department from Ladder 5 the explosion tossed the aerial tiller 35 across the street the firefighters were killed instantly.
These are three homes, looking at the front of the total loss home, the house on the left and the other on the right. More damage to the one on the right....
@@glmike523 I have seen foam used on cars in garage before. I think because they were in defense mode they were not trying to save anything,just keeping it from spreading.
4:30 Fountain Statues not Fire Fighters who actually move their feet to change the Angle of Attack to get the water on the burning material. 4:55 Then more Fountain Statues move in to help. This shows No Work Ethic at all let alone a strong one! 6:50 The fire seems to be getting bigger in that garage. Maybe the other Fountain Statues should get back to standing and squirting. 9:00 Here they come. Now they should Really knock that tire down! I'm a Third Generation Fire Fighter that actually Got The Job DONE! This is pathetic! The worst part is, you will find this kind of performance throughout the American fire Disservice!
JB- A few things to consider before you judge. (First)-I shoot news footage- these are short clips ,and do not show everything.. (Second)- The house on the left and on the right were attacked from the inside and extinguished quickly. The house in the middle was Fully involved when they arrived. The Immediately went to Defensive attack. As you can see the middle house is unsafe keeping the firefighters at a safe distance. (Third),-You Do not see the crews behind the house working to extinguish.
@@cu-images I commented on the work ethic of the fire fighters I Could see not on the department's performance. Do you want those guys given the responsibility to save your house or loved ones?
@@cu-images You did a good job there. I was a fire/incident photog for several departments over the years (depending on where I was living). I wouldn't bother even TRYING to defend your actions or the actions of the departments to some armchair FF who knows everything. Just like water on a duck's back let it go. You did a good job and that is what counts. My camera work went to the departments so that they could use it in court &/or training. I hope you do the same with yours.
JB91710 The other posts you have littered all over CZcams and the “theories of fire science” you have espoused do not give credence to your claim of personal experience and family history.

No one was hurt. Residents all self evacuated and there was no report of injury.
"My Wish Is" ........ Isn't that sweet?

I only see 2 houses damaged
where is the 3rd one
These are three homes, looking at the front of the total loss home, the house on the left and the other on the right. More damage to the one on the right....
@@glmike523 I have seen foam used on cars in garage before. I think because they were in defense mode they were not trying to save anything,just keeping it from spreading.
Did anyone have the utility company turn off the power and expecially the gas? The fire in the garage was gas fed.
just a small meth lab

@@nol7034 And you offered Nothing to educate people on the proper way to protect the public. Why did you bother to comment at all?
