Really a good job by BFD - thought this was going to 4th or 5th. 7 stories. Basement fire and extended into walls. Fire on 4 floors. Lucky for occupants fire did not occur a few hours later. Could have been deadly.

None now. Used to have a lot. Short answer, I am sure others will provide better detail

Does anyone know what the device is at the rear top driver's side of E.33? It is held on with a bungee at the rear end of the hard suction. Thanks!
