- This building was originally an ice house, then rehabbed into a restaurant/pool hall. The walls were lined with sawdust contributing to the fast spread of the fire.
One of my favorite biker dives. There was no stopping it. I was told, being an ice house, the walls were insulated with hay.
Really sad. As a kid growing up in the 70's, I lived on Edgewater Drive. We used to stop by the Ice House on the way home from our bus stop on Rathburn St for a bag of peanuts and a soda after school. Everyone there was so friendly to us kids. We also played bingo in the Hall on Bingo Night. It was a great spot for our little neck of the woods.
Great coverage of a fast moving big fire!
My department responded to a small structure fire some years ago. Turned out to be a pump house about 10 x 12 that had 6" rough cut lumber walls that were stuffed with sawdust for insulation. It was an absolute nightmare to put out. Once that sawdust ignited it burned like gasoline. Actually had to completely disassemble the structure to finally get it extinguished.
Great work covering this Fire, Thank you my friend for taking the time to show How Hard Our Firefighters Work Everyday.Very Proud of All Of Them. So sorry for the Owner, Cheers The Dizzy ONe.

From an ice house to a fire house in just under 15 minutes.
Wow ! Thanks for posting !
Believe it or not that's just part of the original building that was there.
Great coverage!
very good video coverage
In these old coastal states, you'll find a lot of old antique stores, restaurants and such in old original buildings like this. There was never ANY HOPE of saving this structure no matter how much water they poured on it or how many firefighters were there! Part of the "charm" of these old buildings is that they are usually 200 plus years old and historically significant to the area. I have to say though, sawdust as insulation is just the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard!! Valiant effort, sorry to the owner!
I grew up on Edgewater drive The saw dust was meant to keep all the Ice they cut from the pond cold through the summer for peoples ice boxes
can't believe they were even allowed to operate in a building like that...fire hazard all the way round...
Oh noooo @ 9:15, there's a '73 AMC Javelin :(
No reason those guys couldn't move their car to save them !
They tried to move them. But as you can see at 1:28 that cop on his Hitleresque power trip refused to let them move the cars. But I'm sure he personally bought them new cars as a way of apologizing for the damage he did.
@Richard Johnson: Did you just invoke Godwin's Law?
I guess he had the order to remove any unnecessary people from the scene. Having to ask back might undermine his authority, or he could not get through to his superior.
Well, I guess I probably did but it was not intentional. :-)
Cops suck.
Heck of a fire great job.
Much of my family are veterans. I suppose that is why, when I watched several firefighters move up on foot along one side of the truck, I thought of troops moving into position along the side of a tank or other armored vehicle... Some men fight with lead and others with water.
Wow, that really sucks! :(((
Glad that nothing worse happened tho ...
Incredible footage... a total loss from the start..
Apparently this was in 2007. so not a recent fire.
That wood pile was a bonfire waiting to happen.
How did it start? And was it the business or the their residence and business? I feel so bad for the man! I feel for ya! Hope everything works out for you!
I don’t see an interior attack...that means this was already a surround and drown....total loss.
Why aren't people moving the cars?
Is that sawdust on the ground up against the building?
I think these guys like to see things burning.
No interior attack means that this was already a surround and drown. That means FFs surround it and spray water on it to prevent embers from escaping....there’s no point in endangering their lives to save a building that couldn’t be saved.
amazing what happens when you put water on the fire....
Might be a back draft...
....this as it turns out was a good thing.....the building is a death trap....by the way....what county actually would allow this to be an occupied public space ??....that is insane stuff.....rehabbed you say .....bs
The cars could be saved, but they were gone with useless water.
wtf firefighting after 6.00 mark
Geez time for some updated equipment they are running old rig
And it's gone
Wood sided building is not good.
Doug DiPlacido Yabut- it was still a very cool building. Shame it couldn't be saved.
Один хрен всё сгорело )))
Vari bad
Just listen to the hysteria in the voices--over-matched, helpless, confused, and scared-silly. Says all we need to hear about Amerika's slob fire services--pure mayhem.
Suit up and show them how it’s done then.
You a fireman? If not shut up.
