Ed Malik of Mabas21.com is reporting four or five vacanr homes burning this morning at the same time in Gary, Indiana. Here’s part of the description with the first video (above):

Gary Engine 13 was dispatched to a reported brush fire at 26th and Mount, they found heavy smoke in the air from a distance. On arrival a fully involved house was found and the fire was upgraded to a still response. The house was so well involved crews grabbed a hydrant and hit the building with a deck gun until additional support arrived.

Here’s what Ed says about his second video (below):

While crews were cleaning up from a fully involved house that came in as a brush fire reports flooded in for multiple structures on fire around 26th and 28th on Clark Road. Crews found multiple vacant houses fully engulfed in flames and access to these houses was very difficult. Crews requested mutual aid from several departments to assist on the fires. One house collapsed at the 3:50 mark as I was recording because the fire department just could not gain access. You can see in the video where I pan down the dark road to the glow of the second fire.
