4 comments

Joel Bain was kind enough to send along this brief video taken by off-duty Camden, New Jersey firefighter Dave Melendez. It shows some rapidly changing conditions at a rowhouse fire at 715 North 8th Street in Camden last Friday (April 22). PhillyFireNews.com has more pictures and video.

And as you will see by the video below, this was caught by two video cameras. Thanks to Dave LeBlanc at BackstepFirefighter.com.
