- At Approximately 5:00AM Northampton County signaled companies to 1550 Lehigh Drive for a Structural Fire. On arrival companies found heavy fire throughout a huge industrial complex and transmitted multiple alarms.
We counted up to 7 ladder companies, every tanker in Northampton County and help from Phillipsburg NJ and Bucks County, PA.
The factory housed multiple businesses and stretched more than 4 city blocks in West Easton Borough.

To be able to maintain such a high volume of output without a fixed (municipal hydrant) water supply is truly impressive. Hats off to the water supply officer and members.
Of course the Lehigh River is adjacent to this structure and 1,000 engines drafting from it would never even affect the flow.
Nice coverage from NewsWorking. Glad to see that some engine companies are not afraid to use deck guns.
So glad I have a fire station and hydrant 100 Ft from my house.
Sorry to be the one to disillusion you but even that is not a guarantee against having a catastrophic fire. As a structural firefighter I have responded to fires where the home was fully involved even though there was an early detection. LNG issue house exploded thank God it was not occupied at the time the homes residents were away and the cause was the LNG leaking from the gas furnace finally collected enough to reach the LEL when it was ignited by the pilot light of another gas operated heater the resulting BLEVE destroyed the house and damaged several others before we could get there. Response time 5 minutes Volunteer Fire/Rescue Brigade. Always be fire aware and have insurance.
@@davidlenzi3551 I never said it was. Anything can happen and your house could burn down or explode in a flash. Heck I've see videos of crewed firehouses burning down. I was just implying that a professional fire station in a large metropolitan area with hydrants tested on a regular basis would give me more of a sense of security than rural VFD's that have to truck water in with tankers and apparatus from various locations and distances near and far from the fire. I've also watched videos of responses to fires that by the time first units arrived after such a long drive the buildings we're already fully involved resulting in a total loss. I'm not disrespectful to those firefighters in those areas because many of them do an outstanding job fighting fires in that situation. In my opinion all firefighters deserve a pat on the back for the service they provide.
@@jimm8246 czcams.com/video/qKs09z0qo8A/video.html This is an example of why we always need to be fire aware.
@@jimm8246 Seamos honestos,hay bastante lentitud y paseos sin sentido,o sea perdidas de tiempo innecesarias de algunos bomberos cuando llegan y cuando estan en un siniestro...Lo demas es cumplir con su deber.
Wow 😮 I've seen more than my share of big fires, but nothing like that fire.
Hope there were no injuries to anyone related to this incident, I t
think that the only fire I can remember that comes close to this incident. Is when I was a kid, there was this old abandoned factory that burnt that took out a whole square city block.
Thank you to all firefighters everywhere for protecting the citizens of your coverage area.
Amazing job bill keep doing what you are doing
Nina go to bed.
Best coverage was right here. Kudos and thanks to all the fire companies that helped. You guys are both crazy and GREAT!
Great video Bill thanks for the amazing work you do 👍
Thank you
Great video bill crazy fire hope there weren't any injuries be safe and thanks for sharing
Great video thank you
Great coverage. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thanks and you’re welcome
Another one? If this isn’t suspicious it is obvious someone is responsible for all these fires and de-railments!
Great video Bill
Awesome job on the video thanks for sharing
Insurance rates must be high if their is no water source to fight fire in this area.
Some nice footage man. 👍
Wow! Amazing great video
Great vid! I was going to fly my drone over it to get some aerial footage but chickened out! Lol. Great shot around the 8:40 mark. 😎
Great video billy
So is this a cheaper way of demolishing am aging structure, selling a building to the insurance company or just an accidently fire that burned undetected for far too long before discovered. If fire alarms were present and working it might be a good investigative tool, considering what appears to be a very rapid spread, also the type of materials and fuels could offer an explanation.
What poisons could be burning?
If this isn’t suspicious
Didn’t this place have a sprinkler system. And if not it should be a wake up call for other large buildings to have one installed before this happens.
Interesting question about automatic Sprinklers. What did they manufacture? Does West Easton have minimal water supply.?
Frankly the stream from the ladder pipe is not very effective.
I wonder why the Hanover Engine is trying to use the deck gun from such a distance?
Yip. Once anything go-up in flames, the only thing firefighters can do is prevent it from spreading to nearby businesses, and let most of the fire burn itself-out. And anyone on a aerial appartus, should have the oxygen mask on before ascending the ladder. Common sense.
3:10 what was that falling ?
@@maeliehillanbrand8399 no go look at time stamp
A barrel exploded.
@@newsworking oh ok thank you !!
@@newsworking oh ok
Is the fire completely, totally, 100% out??
Love you see a deck gun at work.
So long and turgid and smooth. It has always been of special interest to you.
Didn't they just lose a Dollar Store?
Yup, total loss valued at $723.
The whole big thing all on fire at once mmmhmmmm this isn’t no accident like the train wasn’t
Thanks for bringing this to us! Nicely done, great job firefighters!
The Lord bless you and keep you, Turn His face and shine upon you, Grant you grace, mercy and peace, In Jesus mighty name, Amen.
Omg the big one omg
