Got called out to a strip mall on fire a couple weeks ago. Housed 2 hair salons, a pet grooming business, and a comic book store.
Arrived on scene at 11:30pm on a Sat. To find it fully engulfed:
As it's collapsing:
After the fact:
PBI bank sign:
The second picture of the sign, the windows in the background got cracked and busted a couple.
Also had a Durango that was a repo that was to close and the front got melted.
We were there for about 9-10 hrs. Had 5 of the 7 depts in the county there. Had probably between 30 and 50 firefighters there fighting it.
Since I didn't have any gear I was running water to other firefighters and manning hoses that wasn't close to the building and also the deck gun sometimes.
Note: Some pictures are mine, and some are those that I took off of other firefighters Facebook pages. Just a mix. Mine are mostly after pics cause I didn't wanna get my phone wet.
