Click here for an extensive series of early still photos from the fire and a run down of the units dispatched (Taken by Brett Dzadik who makes a cameo in the video above)

This is one of those well documented fires. At least two cameras were in operation well before the first engine arrived on Monday afternoon. A man and his dog had already escaped.

The top video, apparently shot by a member of the New Milford Fire Department, starts recording 2:30 before the engine pulls up (Brett Dzadik is also shooting his still pictures at the same time). This camera stops rolling shortly after the first line is pulled to the front door.

Photographer Glenn Schneider shows up next (his video is below) and provides about ten minutes of video that lets you listen in on the fireground radio transmissions. Read more about the fire here.

And under the category we all have our priorities. The video below was taken somewhere in New Jersey (I want to believe for this story that it is the fire in New Milford, but I don’t think that’s the case). Either way, the person taking the video sees smoke from a fire in a distance. And like the three photographers above starts shooting the fire. But watch what happens next.
