Early Video with Collapse: 2nd alarm fully-involved house fire in Pennsylvania

02:14 collapse

At 1:40AM Lehigh County 911 transmitted the box for 148 Center Street for a house fire. The 1st alarm assignment consisted of Engine 24, 29, 9, 6, Norco Engine 47, Quint 24 & 29, Rescue 11 (F.A.S.T.) and Medic 67.

Fire dispatcher advised all units that the caller advises fire coming out of all the windows. Police arrived and reported a fully-involved dwelling with an updated address of 209 Center Street. The 2nd alarm was transmitted.

This house was 1868 and is 2,400 square feet.

Early in the video I captured a complete collapse of side 4 of the home. The collapse brought down power lines and just missed firefighters operating the blitz fire in the neighboring yard.

I don't believe anyone was home at the time of the fire.
