This is a different view of the fire that occurred on Sunday morning at the Blue Fox Hotel & Bar in Whitehall, Pennsylvania. The fire left one man dead and eight people injured, including two firefighters. According to the description with the video, the firefighter with the helmet-cam was part of a four person crew on Truck 6 (3631) and initially helped get one injured person off of the roof and set ground ladder. Here's more:

A two man crew went up in the bucket and starting to ventilate the building while a third teamed up with another firefighter searched the third floor. Eventually the truck was put in service with master stream operations until the fire was knocked down.

At 6:25 in the video you will see four firefighters exit the top floor after the search described above (see the image below).
