what youre seeing …
what youre seeing is the aftermath of a sparkler that caught fire to a reef hanging on the front door of the house. As the flames built the door and surrounding area went up in flames and eventually caused two full tiki torches near by on the front porch to explode. The flames were so hot they melted the door handle on the outside off. I realized the fire only a few minutes into and called 911 but by the time they got there it had reached our attic and both rooms on the 2nd floor.

the same thing …
the same thing could happen if it was one or two engines, it is always better to have extra and be able to recall them then not have enough and have to hit out a second alarm. at my fire company we have 6 companies on our first alarm which i think is just the right amount
