WATCH: POV Fighting a House Fire From the Inside

Firefighters face danger on a daily basis. Most of us will never experience what it is like to enter a house that is on fire. This video shows what it is like to be a firefighter on the inside of a house during a fire!

This video that i found shows what a firefighter sees when they are attacking a fire from the inside. According to the description, this is an attic fire that is being fought from below the attic through a hole in the ceiling.

It looks as though the water is being aimed through the lighting fixture in the dining room.

A few weeks ago, I published this confession on our website:

But when I was 10 or 12 years old, I wanted to be just like my older brother Chris. He was a member of the East Aurora Fire Department. I even remember that he was a member of truck 5. Not sure really what that meant at the time but like younger brothers, I wanted to be everything that he was. I would listen intently to the scanner in my parents’ kitchen when calls would go out for the fire department to respond to a house fire, or auto accident or even the occasional basement flood. My brother would drop everything and hurry to the hall.
I listened to that scanner so often that I even knew the order of the tones when they would test “home receivers” at 5:30 every evening.
Let me take that one step further. This is probably the most revealing/embarrassing part of my obsession for the desire to be a fireman. There were times that I would put my little yellow rain slicker on, my rain boots, the plastic hat that I got at the Fireman’s Building at the Erie County Fair and get on my bike and ride up and down our street “responding to calls!” I even had a toy siren and microphone to let the people know to watch out for my “truck!”
