Video Of Firehouse Being Consumed By Flames

[Guest]

This video was sent to me be a friend of a working fire in a firehouse in National City. Incredible footage so intense you can here the SCBA's exploding as a firefighter tries to remove an engine still inside.

Incredible, how quickly the fire intensified!

Who the heck would torch a firehouse?

That was PAINFUL watching that old ALF burn like that. Good example of how quickly a fire can spread out of control though.

Thats gotta be the worst feeling in the world

I feel dirty after watching that clip....

Watching that was painful. Not so much the destruction of the equipment...

I'm not sure when it happened but I think it was in CA. Trying to find out more. Sorry.

I'm not sure. The door on one of the engines says East St. Louis Fire Department.

St Clair County, Il. Across from the City of St Louis. Could not find a web site for the National City Fire Department, their fire, or the East St Louis Fire Department. Did find a cite about NationalCity, sounds pretty much abandoned.

Dont think it was the SCBA blowing up, think it as the tires in the trucks blowing out from the heat.
