The second housefire on my street, in the past week happened three doors down, yesterday. It was an older, though not as old as mine, house; and the fore a few days ago was at a 30 year old McMansion about a quarter mile away. The younger house is salvageable; I'm not so sure about the older. I'm sure the wiring is as old; that's always a concern.
Both fires drew several different fire departments; literally six fire trucks. I know not why, there was a full-size truck from thew suburb of Brooklyn sitting in front of my drive, which is 300? 350? feet away. I thought it cost a fortune every time one of those left the station; if they thought they needed personnel, why not load them in an SUV? But, I'd rather have too much than not enough.
Sobering thing to watch.
If, you're into maps, if the link works, the houses that caught fire are 18450 Fowles (we're 18254) and 18880 Mallard - close enough to my street. how they ever got in, or out six trucks in that cull-de-sac, I don't know.
