Video from Donald Kilianski (wildfirevideosWNY) of a house fire this morning in Buffalo, New York.
Firefighters spent hours fighting a stubborn fire in a 2½-story wood house at 384 Herman St., just east of the Kensington Expressway, between East North and Best streets.
A few minutes after firefighters responded to a 9:09 a.m. call, fire officials ordered an evacuation of firefighters and conducted a quick head count, or “accountability report,” from each of the ladder and engine companies at the scene. All personnel were accounted for.
Firefighters spent hours at the scene, battling heavy smoke and fire conditions on the first two floors and concerned about the possible toppling of a chimney in that home. The house was destroyed in the fire, and authorities have called for an emergency demolition.

Is that woman with the pony tail a “Buffalo Gal” ?
Apparently the 2-1/2 story classification includes the basement. Wow, there was a guy towards the end in day boots…I didn’t think anyone had day boots anymore! What was the 2nd guy on the aerial doing, napping? So this just turned into a controlled burn after awhile…….
Goin’ Good!
I would have expected more from Buffalo – combining interior and exterior streams is not a good idea.
if i had a better keyboard I’d put that fire out!!! Ever been in a hoarder house in the hood with heavy fire on arrival? This looks like one, good job Buffalo, pull em out and surround and drown
