PHILADELPHIA FIRES, Vol. 10,
Philadelphia Fire Films, 2001
The latest in this series, this video has some excellent shots of Philadelphia fires. Most are of fairly recent fires, within the last year. All show heavy fire. Most of the fires were in commercial buildings, but some were also in apartment houses, restaurants, and a supermarket. Two of the fires show the use of a water curtain, to keep the fire from spreading to adjoining buildings or jumping across the street.
