Caught on camera: The effort to protect Ladder 1 as NJ furniture store fire takes off

[Flashpoint 94]

The most interesting videos from yesterday’s (Wednesday) 5-alarm fire that destroyed a furniture store in Hudson County, New Jersey may be the ones that show the effort to get North Hudson Ladder Company 1 out of the line of fire. The aerial ladder was up when smoke quickly intensified, pouring out of the storefront where the large display windows had been removed minutes earlier by firefighters. -statter911.com

Bet that tractor trailer tiller job needed a new paint job on one side and new plastic lens for the warning lights.

Were they having water problems? 

 

I ask because that would seem to be the only reason to not be flowing the deck gun and big line off that pump. 

 

Anyone else wonder why they weren't flowing water?

They got deck gun flowing after a bit it was a very fast moving fire I was also told  If I remember corroectly there some good water mains near there
