Attended My First Structure Fire

A call to a shop on fire the other night.

As you can see it doesn't take long for the building to be gone. Most of the time the guys were there to contain the fire, keep it from spreading to other buildings. 

Some of the debris after the fire was out. You can see the wet foam all over the place.
The concrete retaining walls were still steaming long after we left.
It takes hours for the concrete to cool down.

You can see me working with the pike while my partner is  hosing things down, keeping everything cool. Long night but it was a great experience for me to be able to see how things are done.
