Watch early video from the Charleston fire as firefighters first arrive on the scene
We told you about Wednesday’s mayday in Charleston, South Carolina when we posted some early video from the fire. This video shows some of what happened when part of the second floor collapsed later in the operation. Two firefighters were slightly hurt and a third suffered from heat exhaustion.
On Thursday a number of STATter911.com readers alerted me to the close call in Harrisonburg, Virginia. I was traveling on business and just didn’t get to post it. Today Firegeezer Bill Schumm found the pictures showing the double slide after an explosion (described initially as a backdraft) during a townhouse fire. Click here for more pictures and details from the Geezer.

Wondering why the guy on the left isn’t wearing a hood and why/how his helmet fell off…
