Reminds me of the time when I was working Rescue 9 in Atlanta on MLK. Engine 9 was at the training center. A call went out for a full alarm on some apartments about 1/2 mile down MLK at around 1700 hours.
I walked to the end of the ramp and looked down MLK and saw a huge column of black smoke. I put Rescue 9 enroute and we were first on the scene.
While I was giving on scene and establishing command I was counting units in the building. I established command a said we had a working fire on a 20 unit 2 story brick burning end to end.
The only water we had on that recue truck was 5 gallons of Gatorade.
They are showing a good birds eye view on the local news that's quite impressive...thought the rain that just passed through would help, but looks gone.
Likely started by lightening & no reported injuries so far.
