Sir I love this video. Thank you so much too show us this great fire department and the man and woman firefighters. Gilles Renaud, retired fire photographer from Montréal.
Nezz, thanks for the excellent coverage of the fire scene on Irma Street! Very GOOD job! As for the kid in the purple shirt, he shouldn't be assaulting anyone, let alone with a rock! See, another example of the failure of the BPD NOT taking appropriate action against that individual. Sad, very sad! If I was the cop, I would have locked him up for A-B and A-B/D-W rock!
Who's paying for that? It took how long & how many billions of dollars to get the "Big Dig" done. The disruption to those narrow old streets. The many changes & upgrades required to the existing underground infrastructure. Great idea. Brilliant.
@@64powers13 That's not going to happen. The cost & disruptions to the communities would be prohibitive. Besides, as Sandy proved in NY/NJ, even underground utilities are vulnerable to storm surge. Hilton was built relatively recently with esthetics in mind to be a resort in an area vulnerable & prone to strong tropical weather. In many high risk areas such as southern Florida, the wires are on reinforced concrete poles which do not snap in the strongest winds. It's relatively simple to restring them after a storm. Fires caused by downed wires are not very common. In fact, I cannot recall a single incident in my home county in the 38 years I have been involved in emergency services. Of course some areas are more vulnerable, such as we've seen in Northern California, etc. But Boston? No way.
Funny how Boston fire trucks look so small and low to the ground c/w NYC… also Boston fire fighters look angry snd pissed off…. And their uniforms definitely give 1960’s vibes
Apparatus in Boston streets have to be smaller and lower. The city streets are tight and we need to be able to maneuver around them. The city is not built on a grid .
Boston is not NYC. Their budget is significantly lower per cap. The streets are generally more difficult to navigate. Shorter wheelbases & lower trucks mean they can make the turns with cars parked everywhere plus get under the wires, overpasses, etc. As for the crews, the weather was very hot & muggy. The neighborhood is tense. I mean, what the hell? Can't you pick up on any of this by watching?
