This is the description with the YouTube video posted yesterday of this April, 2008 fire in Manchester, England:
This fire required 10 pumps, 3 Hydraulic Platforms plus other specials. It is quite a short extract as I was only experimenting with my then new digital camera. The incident was about 3 hours old by the time I arrived. The smoke was visible from my home area some 10 miles away. NOTE: The footage on the fireground was taken by invitation and under strict fire service supervision.
As you can see in the picture to the left, the fire at John Bradshaw and Sons large storage warehouse was quite the spectacle. But it is the image below, grabbed from the video, of the Bradshaw’s next door neighbor, that caught my eye.
