2-Alarm Apartment Fire - Part 1
Birmingham Fire & Rescue
Birmingham Fire & Rescue responded to a 2-alarm apartment fire, last Wednesday, at the Emerald Parc [sic] Apartments on Birmingham's Eastside. Upon arrival, Engine 30 reported apartments with fire showing.
A great job by the firefighters from Birmingham put an end to the 2-alarm blaze.
A special thank you to David for sharing these amazing pictures!

How bout a blitz nozzle or a 3" line eastside?.....West B DA BEST!!!!
when has it become the norm to get off your truck with NO scba, or full turnouts.
Rotation to some Batt 1 companies seem to be in order....
Eastside dosen't rely on their defensive mode nozzles, we actually attack the fire no matter how big it is!!! Plus, it is station 30, that is their fire for the year...
(and we know how to spell)
Big Fire Big Water Boys! Not Piss Streams!
So, ahhhh, we have a fine critic out there, huh? Who wants to know about the "norm" of getting of the truck with NO SCBA or full turnouts? Tell ya what, don't worry your little mind about what goes on out here, okay, we got this!!!
As far as the Westside, well, they've already burned everything down so they may be able to give some pointers on what not to do!!!!
Instead of wasting your time here arguing with me, you could review the fire streams chapter of essentials between your two calls a shift. ESSENTIALS "WE AINT GOT UM" (eastside boys)
No dear, how could I possibly be arguing when we are typing? Obviously you are only make two calls also, if you have time to know when posts are made here.
Well im at home sweet cheeks. I have all night.
um that would be making, not make. I could get you a copy of English Essentials also if you would like baby cakes
Well deat you must be from$ Blount county because it`s I`m not I'm!
OK so now we've gone from Firefighting tactics to English literature.....
BTW.... can't beat the South...
I'm amazed with how many people are "experts" on this fire when they weren't even there. You can't know everything from looking at pictures with no time line. Was there 2 seconds between pictures or 2 minutes? Amazing. Sounds like jealousy to me.
Oh yea, I`m really jealous 30 gets paid to sleep all night,plus hazmat pay! South? South of what?
South meaning false alarm central?Now thats an exciting shift to go to St.Vincents three times!
Don't be jealous because we got the best scenery in the city....
We can't help we get the fires out before the cameras get there.....
Westside doesn't know how to blow out a candle, let alone put a fire out. When you guys want some free lessons, be sure to fill out your transfer requests.
Why dont you east side boys ask a few people that see the diff. between the West and East all the time....like Capt Wilkes, or Chief Love etc.... they will tell you real fast that there is a HUGE diff. between 28 and 24, or 30 and 15, or Quint 27 and Quint 20..
How about 19 and 12 the busiest companies in the whole city against your 24 and 15....
I think there are a lot of people on the westside who are having a hard time knowing they are second best. Don't worry westside, you still get paid the same as the real firefighters on the eastside, even though you suck and couldn't put a match out by throwing it into the ocean.
People,please can't we all just get along?We still work for the same department!This is starting to sound like a gang war!CHILL OUT!!!!!!
East,West,North or South you folks at B'ham still get to be fireman.Real Fireman. Try working at one of the over the mountain departments, you forget what being a fireman is all about.About all you get to do is teach CPR and install car seats.So shut up about which side of town is the best.
How about you over the mountain departments get your own web page and let us real firemen talk.
oh wait is that the door bell, I think it is, go and get fluffy out of the tree!!!
...And for the rookie who thinks this is a gang war, stay on the west side because there is no room for crybabies in the EAST!!!
This interdepartmental bickering will stop right now! I will not stand for any of this nonsense. It ends right now with me saying the Eastside wins hands down, so shut your pieholes and get real about the truth, and that is the westside has always been a stain on my department and no matter how many times I have tried to cover your mistakes up in the media, your idiocy always shines through.
Anyone who thinks we are being serious or mean needs to get a life...this is all done in fun. So sit back at your volunteer station and look at some other pictures of fires if you don't like what goes on here...
Oh is that how you feel about the west(best)side?Is that why you live there?
Typical Birmingham. We always seem to be good at bashing volunteers. I'd just like to see the day when we didnt have the man power and was still expected to do the job.....
After all guys.... you have to remember.. most people see pictures of us standing outside at most fires anyway
