Helmet-cam video from vfd173 of a house fire in Vista, New York (Westchester County). Here’s part of the description:

With the Vista FD‘s main engine, Engine 141, out of service, they are forced to respond with only a 2 man engine. The 2 firefighters on the engine began stretching 150’ of 1 ¾ attack line. While they were stretching out the hose, the power lines from the house fell to ground making the stretch very difficult and making the firefighters dump the hose they had and begin to flake backwards towards the engine. Communication problems from the engine crew to the MPO also occurred. The incoming mutual aid engine from the South Salem Fire Department attempted to reach the engine crew from Vista to help them get the first line into operation but were unsuccessful due to the downed wires.
