If you have Cablevision there is 40 mins of extended footage of the fire. The brothers did a outstanding job at keeping this fire to the orignal area of origin. Fantastic truck work you guys did a great great job.

Church Fires at that stage of Heavy Fire are so hard to control. Again you guys did a outstanding job.
