Helmet Cam: House Fire in Hanover, PA

Video by: SjRothPhotography. Video info: In the early hours of Wednesday morning, July 15, 2015, the Hanover and Penn Township Fire Departments were dispatched to a house fire on East Middle Street in Hanover Borough, with flames coming from the roof. Thunderstorms had recently passed through the area with lots of lightening. Hanover and Penn Twp. firefighters arrived to a working fire in a two and a half story, multiple family dwelling. The fire went to two alarms.

This video was created to show the citizens what their firefighters experience every time they go into a burning structure, from total blackness, to smoky conditions to bright fire conditions, all while wearing nearly a hundred extra pounds of protective clothing, tools and fire hoses to battle the fire.
