This fire needed Class A foam fire stream application. Water just expands into high pressure steam causing the fire to spread in all directions. Ask me how I know. Chief Hughes Battalion 1 (retired) Chicago FD
2 guys in the bucket could have made a crew to go in and fight the attic fire of either house. They had a good knock down on the garage but they didn't go inside and put the attic fires out.
Unfortunately the reality is no house is safe. Unless you’re home when it starts? The house next to the one we were renting burned to the ground & an upstairs tenant used my hose to wet the trees separating our houses so ours wouldn’t burn. Hopefully no one was hurt?
Too bad the 2nd house got an attic fire seems they got the fire out between the houses first.. They are the worst. I did something stupid with some ashes from my fireplace in my backyard they were days old and cold and put them in a plastic bucket and set it on my back porch. a big fire hours later and fire burnt the back porch, side of house . next morning I had a house full of smoke and had to call them back. They came in and knocked out my ceiling in the kitchen and finally got it out. Big beam above the door to the garage had been smoldering all night some embers floated up there though the vents i guess and landed on top of the beam. I had just remodeled my kitchen like a month before that, so I gotta do it twice in like 6 months. The smoke damage was the hardest to get rid of. pretty much had to replace every piece that had some.
Great drone coverage
Good staging, truck on street behind, others away from the incident. Not jammed around each other. Looks like good management of the situation.

Not their choice. Incident commander's call.

this is so sad if everybody lost his house if burns another
Caused by a Sandman?
Bizarre comment
The exposure could of been saved if a second engine was on scene within 2 min of the first
a prime example of why high density neighborhoods are bad
😢
as far as i can see wooden houses
What do you expect them to be made of
