BFRS Natural Gas Line Fire

Birmingham Fire & Rescue

Birmingham Firefighters responded to the old Birmingham News building, which was in the process of demolition, to a reported gas leak. Upon arrival, Engine 1 found construction workers trying to contain, but not extinguish, a large blaze from a 6" gas pipeline with a handline off a hydrant.

Engine 1 assessed the scene, laid a line and went to work while they waited for the gas company. Complicating matters, the gas line fire was blowing down on a pile of wood and construction debris that had been piled up in the corner of the basement.

While Firefighters worked to contain the blaze and, at the same time, prevent the pile from erupting into flames, the gas company dug up the street to get to the shut-off valve.

Quick work by Birmingham Firefighters helped to contain the blaze and prevent the pile from erupting. Great job!

A special thanks to Nozzleman Brasfield for wearing the DAVE911 Helmet Cam!

While digging up the street, a part of Birmingham's history started to show. Cobblestone bricks that were once the streets of Birmingham...

If you look closely, you can see how far down the cobblestone layer is...
