| Description: | More footage of the fire set by the Lockport Fire Department, for practice/training. This footage starts off Master #28 Part 3, and is where the actual fire starts. Lots of flames, much of this could pass for a real house fire. Flames, firemen in full regalia, etc. Some shots have a barn visible in the background. Bizarre shot at 13:53:20, with firemen posing, as for a photo, in front of the house, which is burning out of control. Funny. Then they disappear and the house continues burning. The house is allowed to completely burn to the ground; by the end of the footage the walls have collapsed and there is very little left of the structure. Only then do the firemen move in. Frankly I think they do this for fun more than anything else; they really don't do much to put out the fire. Never mind. | |
