Vid - Madison WI - Fire - 6/30 9:47am - Near End - Aftermath - Webster & Mifflin

The fire is reported to have been noticed around 5am. The Madison Fire Department arrived quietly and proceeded to get it under control. This video was shot around 9:47 and it is now 10:47. You can see how the equipment has been deployed on Webster St. There is more equipment along Mifflin but things are now slowed down ... most of the ladder water is off. Unfortunately you can also see evidence of personal belongs in the street ... books, papers, window frames ... how sad!

There are, as of now, five videos that I shot on YouTube!

Madison - Webster & Mifflin

Better view of two ladders on Webster ... hose is also being used from ground based fire engine ... smoke really affects visibility as it blows back on firemen to the north.

There are two ladder hoses being directed from Webster St ... probably another from Mifflin ... lot of smoke and steam!
