At 5h pm yesterday evening a major fire broke at an occupied house and quickly spread through the building on Baffin Street at the corner of Bethoven in Brossard. The initial call to 911 was made as a residential alarm ringing at the address but multiple calls then followed, mentioning heavy smoke and flames showing. Upon arrival police officers witnessed dense smoke coming out of the house and firemen declared a working fire. Multiple residents were evacuated as well as visitors to the tenants. A kid was also treated by paramedics for smoke inhalation. Longueuil fire fighters battled the intense blaze offensively but later switched for a defensive strategy. As firemen were exiting a roof collapsed and one fire fighter narrowly escaped the debris as shown in the video. No other injury were reported and rescue teams are still on scene. The fire is still burning as of 7h20 and victims have been taken care of by red cross workers. Footage includes Longueuil Police SPAL scanner audio recording from the moment they first arrived on scene.

Yesterday evening at 7h pm a fire broke out in the basement of a residential complex at 2451 Villiers Street in Longueuil. Multiple residents were evacuated from apartments on the ground floor and on the second floor. Heavy flame was at some point shooting out of a basement window. Heavy smoke was coming out of the basement and at least one person was transported into an ambulance for smoke inhalation. Many tenants were taken care of by the red cross.

Ladder rescues can be very dangerous to not only the victim but also for the firefighters. Aerial rescue is not always possible, as seen in this video. These firefighters buy a little extra time in rescuing this victim and the route to safety ends up being the safest of all possibly. Great edit, great video, and great job!

Mutual aid working garage fire in the borough of Northumberland, PA. We arrived with 6 on the Tower (542) and immediately went to work assisting the engine crew.

Watching videos of burning cars ghostriding before or after firefighters show up on scene is the reason why I chock the wheels of burning cars. This video is another great example.

A total of seven people were injured, including the driver of the truck, who could save them from the truck before the fire and was taken with serious injuries with an ambulance to a hospital. Four policemen and onlookers suffered minor injuries caused by the inhalation of smoke, a firefighter fainted at the accident site. According to current estimates, the federal highway Sunday Morning can be released before again as well as the danger of collapsing noise barrier must be removed.

Short clip of our arrival at a working dwelling fire in the city. We arrived on scene with 4 on the Tower as well as having Engine 561 right behind us. We immediately pulled a line off the truck to save an exposure on the delta side of the structure while Engine 561 stretched multiple lines to the bravo and charlie sides. (For those armchair QB's who are no doubt gonna talk about the water flow, the line was stretched instantly to save the exposure with the tank water and after 5" was connected then we drowned it and got adequate pressure on the line). No units went to the alpha side initially due to live wires being down and arching. In all the box went to 3 alarms (on scene and transfers).
