Insane Fire Conditions At A Gary Indiana Trailer Fire
From YouTube: Crews were dispatched to a reported trailer fire at 3650 West Ridge Rd Lot 8 in the early afternoon. It was quite evident there was a working fire due to the header. Crews were lucky to find a hydrant a couple blocks away, but the trailer was already fully involved on arrival. Multiple lines were stretched to contain the fire in two trailers. Two victims were transported, one with burns and a second with cardiac problems. Great job by the crews from 1st turn considering no hydrants near the scene and high winds. By rights the whole trailer park should have went...... Not with GFD Working!

This video also highlights the challenges with trailer parks. Particularly with the staging of trucks and accessing water.
Other challenges are obviosuly the materials used in consutrcution, portable gas cylinders, power isolations, the vicinity of exposures (surrounding trailers, cars, boats, etc).
If you didn't see it, check out the water burst in the FF's face at the 7.25 (approx.) mark in the video. Could've been nasty...

The fire trailer is/was green so the one with the burgundy door and shutters that the firefighters are entering must be the trailer next door?? Nevertheless, it is smoky and could be hot enough to light itself up and I agree with Cory about the SCBAs. Those trailers are very close together, too.

Good video, except at about the six minute mark, you can see firefighters entering a smoky trailer with no SCBAs and the ones that ARE wearing their SCBAs are not masked up.
