Tow Truck Mayhem! Hope that guy had Allstate to protect him from this guy:

Hey, I was just walking into the garage between the door and the back of the rig(wasn't going on the call) and just as the rig was pulling out, this guy came out of nowhere doining his turnouts to get on board and nearly plowed into me. Just goes to show you, as a firefighter, you should always keep your head up and stay alert!(LOL!)

Amen to that!

Sounded like a tough fire over the radios. It went to 7 alarms pretty quickly. First in companies were faced with heavy fire in a 3-brick w/exposure problems. Boston's bravest did one heck of a job, as did M/A from the surrounding communities. One of the initial Ladder Companies on scene pulled their crew off the roof right before it caved in. Also, the Rescue on the Box, Rescue 2, had to come clear across the city as Rescue 1 was on another call. Once again, great work BFD!
