MARYLAND TACOMAS

Good to hear everyone made it out, I saw there was another fire in Baltimore that the kids didn't fare well.

 

yeah, just sucks as they gutted the house, although judging by the size of the fireball coming out of the roof it was gonna be a total loss regardless

 

That is my neighborhood. I didn't know them personally, but many of my neighbors and friends know them. Sad.

 

6 kids died in that fire, very sad.

 

Got a better look in the daylight, that house is nothing but a burned out shell now. Iirc it was recently renovated too

 

House can be replaced, just glad to hear everyone made it out.

 

Yeah. I initially grabbed the fire extinguisher from my taco just in case, but looking on it now I think that would have had about as much effect as pissing in the wind. It took three trucks tapped into two hydrants to get the fire out.

 

Depends how localized the fire was before it spread. If it was a couch or something an extinguisher could take care of it

 

By the time I made it to the house there was already a 10ft fireball coming out of the roof. It was more wishful thinking on my part at that point

 

The fact that you tried to help, speaks volumes about your character.

 

dont blow too much smoke up his dress......

 

I was sound asleep at a station not far from there and knew nothing about that fire.

 

Hahaha!

 

Happy birthday Matt

 

Interesting, as it seems like they rolled out the cavalry for a relatively small house

 

Thanks, started the day off great by forgetting my security badges when going to work

 

Happy Birthday!

 

The standard response for a dwelling fire is 5 engines, 2 trucks, a squad, a chief and a medical unit and a safety officer. The size does not come into play. The response can be adjusted once units are on the scene.

 

Interesting. Never knew that.
