Amateur hour on the first line at a Pennsylvania house fire. Room & contents put out through the window in a gutless move. Plus, helmet-cam of the second line to the fire.

What's wrong with these people? Can you believe this fire was put out with a hose line through the picture window of the living room? On top of that, their choice of a line was pitiful. Undersized to say the least and the wrong color. Real fireman don't carry a hose that is green.

I don't care if it was a couple of neighbors who dealt with this house fire before the first engine arrived. If they are going to do the job of firefighters they better do it right or not at all. I hope someone gave them a good talking to and some training.

Thanks to Bill Rohrer at newsworking.org for pointing out this travesty. Click here to read more from Bill. Personally, I'm outraged.

Below is helmet-cam of the second line to the fire. The one that goes through the front door.
