1/13/15 This video gives a short insight to what firefighters go through when
encountering a job like this.
As you can see in the video all important actions
are taking place, lines going in service, ladders going up and firemen masking
up getting ready to make entry. While all of this may seem disorganized to the
general public these firefighters are some of the best and this proves that if
you perform your duties to the best of your ability everything falls into place
and you can effectively and efficiently put a knock on a fire like this, rescue
people and prevent further property damage.
