    The new patch/logo did not seem to hinder the Brothers' effectiveness.

      Ummm, awesome dude, check the title header on the video and the parade of FFs hustling up the sidewalk immediately after the vehicle stops…duh.   They might have been trying to get in there to do more than shoot video.  Look again and you'll notice the driver did a nice job of weaving around and over the hose to miss the couplings.

        Yep, you're probably right. I read it wrong where it said the video was shot by the neighbor. That was for the 2nd video, so I stand corrected!

    Always enjoy watching the DC videos Dave. Large urban department that's not "too cool" to don full PPE. They get a lot of fires but still seem to enjoy doing their job. Like the hustle. Good luck down there with all the nonsense.
