This was posted to YouTube a couple of days ago and is from a January 22, 2009 house fire in Olathe, Kansas. It occurred in the 1500 block of East Frontier Lane. Nice and steady camera work (credited to the City of Olathe) as the first lines are being put into service. Here is an account of the fire on the website Capt. Spaulding’s World (I say hooray for him):
The initial fire alarm sounded around 9:45am to the 1500 block of East Frontier Lane in east-central Olathe.The first of 5 companies of firefighters arrived to find heavy fire and smoke coming from the story and a half structure.
Two female occupants of the house had already escaped the flames uninjured.At 9:59am- a 2nd alarm was sent here and 5 more fire companies- some from Overland Park- responded.
The fire was declared under control around 10:30am- with no reports of injuries heard. The house was severely damaged.
