Trench cut at Chinatown fire
Horrible fire in Chinatown, Oakland California, USA. On September 16th, 2020 firefighters battled a five-alarm fire trying to save a large two-story building with multiple businesses.
This is a short video I edited of truckies putting in a couple of trench cuts. Crews stayed in the offensive fire attack mode for over an hour and were able to save much of the building.
It is believed the fire began in a dumpster behind the building, which then spread into the building.
