Menands, NY Working Fire - 1/3/11

[FDNY 10-75 640]

Menands Fire and a number of other Town of Colonie departments responded to a reported structure fire around 1930 1/3/11 at 13 Sage Hill Lane, first arriving units found heavy smoke and fire. Crews made an inital attack but had to pull out because they lost water. Hydrant pressure was only about 5psi....

That's about it, I will try and get the audio on youtube and post it here (it was rather interesting).

Thanks for looking! Be safe!

Great Photos Eli. Must have been frustrating knowing it could have been stopped quicker, but for a bad hydrant/ water main.
