  • Fire was in a 1 & 2 story occupied former auto parts store. Steel gates and doors made entry into the building almost impossible. Master streams and big lines were deployed as the fire took the entire building.

    Another proof of the Pizza Oven theory!! Brick outside, wood framing and combustibles inside. The fire burns hotter and hotter within until the composition of the bricks breaks down. “Kerplunk”, said building collapses hopefully not taking any lives with it!! Brick façade fires make me very nervous. This was an inferno! Great coverage.

    I’m always amazed at how quickly looters can break into a building…but firefighters, with haligans, axes and power saws are stymied.

      Looters as a general rule don't go through the front door. As a firefighter I've found the front door usually the one that's fortified the most. Is e20 still on Clark ave. just down the street from there. In the 70's I lived in that area and knew e20 guys, good group.

      Sometimes looters will take nights on end to create a entrance point, without smoke and fire to contend with!

      There is the factor that a looter is trying to break into A building. Firemen are trying to break into a particular building.

    Awesome vid, great job by the members but, I have a question hopefully someone can answer. If this is a second alarm job and there is that much manpower and machinery on scene, how big is the initial alarm assignment? I ask bc in my FD this would have gone 3rd alarm easy and with the collapse it would have been an automatic 4th.

    @ Cleveland and Northeast Ohio Firefighting Video: Very good camera work! I'm impressed by how well your camera handles night lighting situations with very low grain. What make and model 4k camera are you using? I'm glad all the firefighters were safely far enough away from that wall when it collapsed. That building was a "goner" from the get-go, it seems. Was it still a functioning auto-repair shop when this fire happened, or was this building vacant?

      @@midnightsteve7502 Thank you for that info! No wonder the image quality is as good as it is - this is a "cutting-edge" full-sensor-frame camera. As good as my iPhone 13 Pro Max is, it can't compete with a full-sized professional camera with interchangeable lenses. Smartphones are great for their spur-of-the-moment convenience because we carry them around with us all the time, whereas we have to be prepared in advance to bring along a pro camera when covering a major event like this.

    • @joscallinet6260
      @joscallinet6260 2 роки тому +6

      My guess is that the roof plus wooden interior structural beams were holding the wall in place. Once enough of that internal structure was consumed by the flames, the wall collapsed. Very likely the wall was pushed outward by the roof above it when the structural wooden beams supporting the roof were consumed by the fire, causing the roof to fall into the building. EVERYTHING GAVE WAY ALL AT ONCE, with literally no advance warning. Experienced firefighters know this danger and keep a safe distance away from building fires like this.

    I have these set of videos called Cleveland Fires from the 90s and early 2000s. There are a number of spectacular 3-3-3, 4-4-4, and even 5-5 alarm fires on them. Does Cleveland Fire Department no longer have 3-3-3 alarm or higher assignments? I know the big fires are pretty rare now a days

    • @midnightsteve7502

      They get more equipment on a box alarm than they used too. There was a 4th alarm in April. I believe it was for 5 or 6 houses going on a windy day.

    Good move not going in. In my 37 years paid firefighter I've been to at least 12 fires like this, all with nearly same results. I know my brothers are gung-ho on putting fire out and saving structure, but somebody would have to demo building, probably the city, so you save $$$ by "control burn". Fire goes out when combustibles are consumed. Great video!
