Boston strikes 7 alarms as fire consumes multiple buildings 

Awe how sad. Sending prayers to the families who lost a home. 🙏

Man , these are the tough fires to catch and kill , that devil runs thru ceilings like lightning then pops out where you think it can't get to.

Fire in the cockloft, connected residential structures, vinyl siding. A tough fire to fight.

They are lucky they have the old guy who handled the multi versal or deck gun..

Great catch ! Question, do they have tower ladders up there ?

Kudos to this department for getting the ladder up right away.

I do remember those good olds working in Allston and Brighton. neighborhood. Engine 41, later on Engine 29. Aide Dist. 11.

Boston FD No Tower Ladders. You need a bunch!!

I used to live in that area and I was casually playing with toys when I heard sirens and I looked out side the only thing I could see was smoke and I screamed at my parents FIREEEE!!!!

Excellent job by Boston fire

Big Water on Big Fire!

Had Family Live there ,Years Ago

This is on live pd right? (Not this fotege)

Oh not the one

The air conditioner fell out of that window

Boston must not have very many companies on an alarm, around here that would just be a 2 or 3 alarm fire. We send a lot of companies on an assignment though. I don't know why FD's still order ladders without waterways though.

Damn good stop.

Anyone in Boston ever heard of firewalls? One or two might have been handy here. Or were the buildings too old?

Why on earth are so many guys walking around on the roof with fire underneath them ?

How many alarms can the city muster before outside aid is brought in?

Lightweight construction. Built to burn.

That's why they shouldn't have built those row houses so close together?

A firewall would have been nice here.

Where's "Deck Gun Kelly" when you need him?

Platform

Looks like arson !!

Okay this might piss some off! But there some things that do not fly with any other type of business, company or service. That the fire departments do that just make no rime or reason. Unless it is to promote their identity! #1 After on seen, they leave all lights on. Not needed. 2 they put on their PPE air respirators, turn them on. Then let them run out of air so the alarms go off. And never turn off so the alarms continue, blaring. Not necessary! 3 they do not help each other like they should, see way to many just stand there and watch others struggle pulling hose or other work! 4 always park and set up 95% of the time down wind, and work the fire into the wind. The other 5 % the got lucky! 5 people think and worship them like gods. They are not gods and there are more workers that.put their life on the line all day long. Work in all and every condition. Providing safety and security for all, And no one gives them as second thought. See they don't ride in on a screaming red horse. In a army as big as necessary. With twice the equipment. Yes they fight fire. But not continually, only if and when there is a fire. To me they are far better and needed than pro sport players. But people worship them too. See when they mess up, make a mistake. No one blames them except maybe the person who watched his life burn while thet stood there. They do their Job they are paid for. No more. Other things too.
