*1st line into operation* 3 alarm house fire in Uxbridge, Ma 2013 

It was a good thing that no one was home at the time of the fire, having been a volunteer firefighter in a small town, I well know the issues with water problems. Thank you to all firefighters everywhere for protecting the citizens of your coverage area.

That was a bad situation nothing to do it was gone before you left the station! Glad no one was hurt and prayers for the family!

With the difficulty that communities all across the Nation are experiencing recruiting and retaining volunteer firefighters, not to mention those cities that can afford full-time professional staff, it seems to becoming increasingly evident that some sort of Federal/State professional fire service needs to be considered to help fill in the gaps. One wonders if such a possibility has ever been considered. Obviously there is a fire service that battles wildfires, so why not places where there are people and properties that require greater protection? Such a beautiful home reduced to ash. Very sad...

One of the down sides to living rural areas.

Great video and audio

A lost cause from the start with no hydrants. was too far gone already/

Good job on water supply!! Especially feeding the ladder and all hand lines!

Am i going insane or was this house already fully involved well before crews arrived? Unless im mistaken this place was a total loss regardless.

Yikes, that got going pretty good.

I'd never make it as a firefighter. I could never watch it burn without putting water on it regardless.

Why are they putting water where it's already burned?

looks like the BBQ grill started the fire
