There were roofers working the gutters. Just prior to the fire being reported, there was a very violent thunder storm that rolled thru the area. The roofers story was that the house was hit by lighting. It would have been a believable story if they weren't seen throwing buckets of water on the roof minutes before the storm hit.

WOW , was that the Jacob Shorr house ???? I have been waiting for years to see pictures like these... a couple of years after the owner settled, our company was brought in to install the roof on the new house, and heard stories of what happen... from what I was told by the security guards, it was the roofers, who caught the cedar shakes on fire while installing a modified bitumen roof... they were on the roof top with the propane torches, and after they noticed the flames around a propane tank, they all ran off the roof... so I was told... and more pics ??? love to see them

the fire started up in the attic area (most likely gutters) had a good head start prior to our arrival, and water pressure was a huge problem, last time we drafted at a fire that i can recall, and that went pretty good until the tide went out, never read about that happening in the books, lol anyway the reason the packs are on the ground, no water meant not much of an interior attack. And at the time SCBA use was minimal at best. The trucks were ok

The tide went out? I always thought that NRFD draft so much water that long island sound drop by 8 feet. And it took another 6 hours to refill it.
