Arlington 2nd Alarm -Haight & Fowler Ave Photos

[x134 46]

On 1/2/13 Arlington firefighters were dispatched for a structure fire at the intersection of Haight and Fowler Ave. Units arrived to find a 2.5 story structure well involved with reports of people still in the building. Firefighters made entry to attack the fire but were pulled out soon after because of heavy fire above them. Two residents were reported to have jumped from a second story window. At that time operations went to a definsive mode. The fire was difficult to extinguish because of hydrant problems and also exposure problems. Firefighters finally had gotten the fire under control in about 45 minutes. The fire is under investigation by Arlington Fire Department. (GROUP 4)

Video starting as the first attack line was being advanced on the roof. Tough, stubborn fire, and colder out than a witch's ta-ta's!

Great work to all, and AFD Group 4!
