On Monday, FossilMedic Mike Ward wrote about the YouTube videos showing some of the history of the Los Angeles Fire Department. They are part of the outreach of the Los Angeles Fire Department Historical Society and Educational Institution. We had run some of these videos before. They are being used as part of an upcoming documentary on the department called “Smoke Eaters”. The abandoned church fire above, from Christmas Eve, 2007, is also some of the raw video that will be used for the documentary.

There are a series of response videos from the Stoughton Fire Department in Wisconsin. While just watching fire trucks woo-woo down the street is not usually my favorite thing, the camera here has a pretty good wide angle lens that captures the view from the front seat. This one is a car fire on December 15 a little more than a mile from the station. Other videos are here.
