@@AllenPortman thank you sir for your service! I called 911 once. Just got home from work in the middle of winter. Sat down and blood started gushing from my nose. I panicked. The fellas from the fire station a few blocks away were here in a couple of minutes. They were the sweetest. Even showed concern for my ruined new white cotton blouse. Lol. They stayed with me until my husband got home. Firemen said it was just a bloody nose probably due to dry air, but suggested I go to the ER because I felt so odd. They said it was likely anxiety. ER doctor diagnosed me with an anxiety disorder. The fellas from the fire department were outstanding! So again, on behalf of everyone you helped during your career, thank you so much! 😊 Even those of us who only THINK we are dying really appreciate you. ♥️
@@AllenPortman as a former addict I can tell u are way off. Crack will not make u pass out , infact the complete opposite. While drug addicts and other homeless are often the cause of these types of fires I highly doubt it was from someone passing out from crack...

Thank u for covering this fire…..b careful in bringing these to UA-cam!!! I’m writing on behalf of my granddaughter, she’s a firefighter, a veteran and simply amazing!!! I watched ur film and I was proud of her all the more for what she does. It also brought the fear. These amazing men and women who risk their lives r beyond words of marvelous!!! My prayers go to not only my lil “Dumpins” to ALL the men and women who willingly serve our communities. Thank u again for ur efforts…..May God bless u and those who serve! Thank u.
The worst thing people can do. Is standing around and watching a house fire. I was a volunteer firefighter for five years. People don't understand what is in the houses. I wave worded 4 houses that had firearms and ammunition inside. When the ammunition gets hot. They go off. If the ammunition isn't in a gun. There's no telling where the bullets will go.
There were some old houses in a neighborhood I would go through from time to time. They were probably 1930s-ish. One was a beautiful Victorian. They were being renovated to their former glory. The Victorian was about half done and already had a buyer. We had an exceptionally cold winter that year. The homeless took refuge in the houses. They didn't care and started a fire to keep warm. It couldn't be saved 😢. The renovation on the other houses ceased and were eventually torn down and bought by a frozen food company. Some say it was the frozen food company
We have a saying in the fire service, which is "slow is smooth and smooth is fast". Rushing around on the scene of a working fire is not shown to be productive. Being methodical and deliberate avoids mistakes, injuries, and the need to re-do things, which all waste time in the end.
@@hjalmarson70 My mom had a saying, “the hurrier I go, the behinder I get”. It’s true, if I am rushing around, I work in the food service industry, I drop things, I make mistakes. So now I just remind myself it’s better to be slow and smooth, I get more done that way.
@@ConStan-i5w if mine burns and everyone is out safely then I say let it burn. No need for anyone to risk their lives. Just keep it controlled so it doesn’t spread.
First Responders don't use "walkie talkies". Most of our radios are incredibly complex and cost $6,000-$10,000 each. I depend on my radio to save my life if things go sideways.
So what’s changed? Could it be our forced policies on diversity and multiculturalism? Do we see this happening in majority white conservative towns and cities? Many of our politicians continue to promote the blending of cultures instead of demanding to preserve the American culture! If this is not a problem in our country then why is this happening to cities with a large minority presence? I’m not spewing racist rhetoric even though race has plenty to do with it. Without assimilation by EVERYONE into the American culture and its core values then we might as well rename our country the Divided States of America!
Great coverage!!! I think the smoke coming from the main part of the house is just due to the PPV fan being set up which creates positive pressure pushing the smoke through and out of the structure!
I suspect it was meant as a heads up to anyone who had been through a house fire, lost a home to a fire,and so forth. While to you, watching a home burn when you don't live there is not going to both you more than watching a trash fire, but for those who have it could bring g back bad memories. It's also a way to let viewers know that the images will be of an active structure fire not just smoke in the distance. A warning does not always mean bodies which seems to disappoint you.
Everything in the video looked familiar- realized I drove right by there 10 hours ago! Didn’t even know what city it was until I saw the fire engines in the video- it could have literally ANYWHERE! And no, I don’t live in the area, I am staying in a hotel about a mile down the road! Things that make you go hmmmm!!
They are reluctant to make a hole in the garage door because they don't want to fuel a fire in the garage. There's a huge risk if there's aerosol cans & anything that can explode. It'll knock those firemen into the next block!!! 😮
It might more cost effective for the owner to hire armed guards than constantly replacing some that was just finished. Materials are not cheap. But they’re stubborn old coots that refuse to pay the labor when they think they can do it themselves. Sure, it isn’t cheap. But how much do all those materials cost. On the alternative, he could hire contractors to do the work and get it done in a hurry. Find the straightest line from here to having it finished. I have known people like this. My first father -in-law was a miser, left over from the Great Depression and refused to use banks. My husband said he would climb the fence to keep from wearing out the gate. They often have tunnel vision and can’t think of another way to get it done that they don’t have 100% of the control, 100% of the time. The homeless sure are making that hard for him.
If they didn't have such high rents or give help to the homeless with an ultimatum that they clean up themselves & want to do better, but they need to be treated with dignity & respect. After all a lot of them are heroes, our Military Vets. So let's honor them.🇺🇸💜🙏😔
@@WonderWoman829 My heart goes out to the home owner(s). These are the people, who likely, did the right things to earn their success. They don’t deserve to have their homes burned down by some dug addled loser, or evil arsonist.
No different than many other cities. Everyone's getting a taste of what Detroit, New York, Chicago, LA and Miami have been dealing with for decades now. As far as the fires that is.
I'm not aware of what is going on in Bakersfield but probably the same situations in many cities. Why are so many homes being abandoned in what looks like an upscale neighborhood? Terrible situation.
Because people do not have money to buy homes, so, many houses on the market end up abandoned, and sometimes it is houses in joint possession, and if the owners can not find a way to be all agree, it can last several years, sometimes until the house becomes unsaleable.
These people not moving for the fire truck make me crazy!!! My son is a firefighter and every second counts! Pull over, get the heck out of the way!!!🤬
It's sad because it's that much longer. It's taking him to get in there and the house is just burning down. Why do people do that? Stupid, leave other people stuff along.I'm at least
@user-pinckneysux generally it's already in a part of town where people don't say much. Yes, neighbors that are deeply rooted individuals of the area, they may report something out of the normal.
@@ianross9099 my neighbors ripped off stuff from inside and outside my house following a fricking kitchen fire that prohibited me from staying there. Boarded up windows were a way to bypass locked front door🙄. Worst thing to happen in my life.
A large huge fire? What is a small huge?? Sorry. I ama sarcastic person. Great video. God bless all first responders. Great job Fire Department members. Thank you.
This is very sad, but this is also what happens when someone would rather let a house sit empty than rent it out, or sell it. Its a shame, and sych a nice house too.
First in engine drives right past the hydrant with smoke and flames visable from a distance, then they mule the supply line back to the hydrant. That may be one reason your ISO grade is two and not one.

When we watch a video knowing something's burning and you post "viewer discretion" because what... we're going to see something burning? When you post something like this that is totally misleading and that was a nice way of saying you're lying, you have to know your credibility goes down, right? It's obvious you are doing, the old "clickbait". I definitely don't want to see anyone harmed, but I loathe people that do this, just to attract viewers! I've never been a fan of bait and switch and never will! Lost this "previous fan".
I had built a firefighter 5 years after you second to blowing that horn or somebody not pulling over the second to hear those things siren, it takes seconds off somebody's life
Better renting then just sitting but who can afford rates, us good people fighting week to week, working, honest, only law abiding is why we are going to homeless status, yes bad renters, but more is extreme rates. The only people affording rates are many criminals who get money criminally
I'm going to suggest that with all of these viewers commenting about that very reason and you're being nothing but clickbait, you should change that title.

"somethings burning in there"...no no .not at all.
Sadly putting bars on windows and doors make it deadly . Firefighters call barred up houses "fire pits" cruel I know.
Some states have laws about fencing just for this kind of reason
