Fire Critic An Unadulterated View of the Fire Service
This video is for a house fire back in November in Whitehall Township, PA. The Helmet camera footage catches a blitz attack (that’s what we call it) via defensive position prior to making an interior attack on the fire. Not something I see everyday. Have you ever used a blitz attack?
Outside video of the fire can be seen in a separate video below uploaded back when the fire occurred.

A 4th line is pulled from 3611 and is used to knock down exterior fire on the building, All searches are negative and the fire is under control in about an hour.
