This is dash-cam video from Chief Jason Long of Milton Fire and Rescue in Milton, Kentucky. We have previously run video from this all volunteer department with two stations protecting about 3500 people in an area of 65 square miles along the Ohio River.

For those of us in urban areas, the video is a reminder of what can be the reality of rural firefighting where there are often long response times with limited staffing. 

The chief arrives at 5:30 in the first video, with an ambulance already on the scene but has to wait for suppression forces to arrive. Water is flowing a little after 4:00 on part 2.

Here are details about the fire yesterday from miltonfireandrescue.org:

At 1:12 p.m., Milton Fire & Rescue was dispatched to the report of a structure fire at 1283 Palmyra Rd. Car 8501 arrived on scene and found a fully engulfed two story residence. Crews from Milton, Bedford, Westside, and Ghent worked for several ours to extinguish the fire. There were no injuries in the fire and there was nobody home at the time of the fire. The fire appears to be unintentional and cause has yet to be determined. 8501 in Command.
