Auto shop fires have got to be tough on fire fighters with all of the oil and the tires in there.

I happened across the Cincinnati Fire Department preforming a training exercise today at a vacant building in the Hyde Park neighborhood, right near Station 46. Mostly what I could see from outside was the firefighters pulling hoses, carrying hoses, and putting the hoses back. This operation...

I agree with you for the most part. Here in Cincinnati an engine or ladder company responds to every medical emergency and I find it especially wasteful when they leave the engine running while they're treating a patient thus burning fuel. The downside to having other vehicles like SUV's respond...

I'm assuming "orange tag" is between red and yellow, but I can't say I've ever heard that used before.

I spotted this today in Cincinnati.

Heavy Rescue 52 is now known as Heavy Rescue 14. They changed it so that all of the apparatus at a particular station have the same number (except District chiefs). They have a second Heavy Rescue at station 9 in North Avondale/Bond Hill area. That company previously ran as the ladder truck out...

Cincinnati Fire Department was called to a house in the North Avondale neighborhood today for a report of a house fire. While in route one of the first-due companies reported seeing heavy smoke in the area and the incident was upgraded to a working fire. Crews arrived on scene to find a 3-story...

Going beyond the City of Cincinnati. Covington, KY, located directly across the Ohio River from Downtown Cincinnati and connected via the fabulous Roebling Suspension Bridge (a sort-of prototype for the Brooklyn Bridge) and the infamous Brent Spence Bridge. Ladder 1-2018 Seagrave Tiller. Housed...

Similar situation in Northern Kentucky with a business fire that started in a tractor trailer. Listed as 4 Alarms according to Pulse Point app, but apparently 4th Alarm may have been disregarded in route. Of course each alarm there is fewer trucks and I think a 2nd alarm is the equivalent of a...

On Sunday June 12, 2022 Cincinnati Fire Department was dispatched to the 1100 block of Main St for a report of building collapse. Crews arrived to find the roof of the former Davis Furniture building had collapsed onto the parking lot and sidewalk. The building had been vacant for more than a...
