Only special appartus like a snorkel rig could come to the scene to put the fire out because of its height. Hmm 40 ft vs. 110 ft ladder, bad reporting, ding fries are done.

It took more than a snorkel to put this fire out. They had master streams and long lead outs....and don't forget..WATER !

Heard them say something about the fire boat. Was this close to the river?

Engine 58 (Fireboat) did respond. It's close to the river, but I don't think (know for sure?) they would put them to work, as it's not close enough. Maybe for a drafting operation if it was needed?
