12/05/15 57 Heckel St. Belleville NJ 5th alarm
#1
I took a quick trip down to north Jersey last week and caught this 5th alarm in Belleville.

 

12/05/15 Belleville, NJ - The second house fire in a week destroyed another dwelling in Belleville. Police officers arrived on scene to find smoke and fire coming from the second floor. The started evacuating the occupants of the first floor as firefighters arrived. The fire gained considerable headway as firefighters prepared to battle the blaze prompting transmission of multiple alarms for mutual aid. The second floor soon became fully involved as multiple hand lines and master streams worked to darken down the fire. Firefighters also used three ladder pipes to help bring the blaze under control around twelve thirty. Two families were left homeless, but no one was injured. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

I do not want to be critical, but is that an electric line above the apparatus? Looks like its smoking pretty good around where it connects to the building and is about to give way...

Yes you are correct.  I just take the photos not Monday morning quarterback.  The building was not that well involved upon arrival.  Things went down hill on them.  The wire never gave way.
