Raw Video: 'Firestorm' consumes 3 mansions during Sandy
Part of channel(s): Hurricane Sandy (current event)Three Old Greenwich families are homeless after a “firestorm” quickly spread from house-to-house at the height of Hurricane Sandy, testing the resolve of shaken firefighters who were hailed Tuesday for their efforts to prevent the inferno from consuming the rest of the densely developed neighborhood.
A team of career and volunteer firefighters grappled with winds in excess of 80 mph and a treacherous storm surge Monday night that Fire Chief Peter Siecienski said forced them to stand down, but not before rescuing a dozen people from Binney Lane, a private drive off Shore Road.

Hello, I am from Yurop, and I have no Idea what a "mention" might be, but with my limited capability of speaking this foreign language, I´d like to refer to another term called "mansion". This could actually be what you were trying to "mansion" when you said "mention" :)

Those firefighters deserve a raise!
Pieces of the house were flying on Fire and the ocean is smashing that house behind them.

This is like the receiving end of a compression spool just after the defuser known as the combustion annulus and those windows are like the delusion holes. Damn that's scary.

Very sad. However, a lot of people there don't have flood insurance, but do have fire coverage.

@denvergirl1963 That is actually the best case scenario for them. Most of the homes right on the beach in NY do not have flood insurance like you said...because they are un-insurable locations, but since it burnt down, they are covered. Assuming it was going to flood of course.

@Hooker52 You explained it much better than I did. Thank you! It's sad though there's not a price tag on the memories & things that can never be replaced...

It's so funny to me how much people on LL hate on people with Mansions. Like "Look at that person, he was successful! F**k him!" Would you all prefer we live in huts and live on Government money? Bunch of f**king cry baby drones. Don't ever take pride it something you worked for or you will be a hypocrite.

Make me wonder how strong of a wind there would have to be for it to blow out a fire like that like a candle. Probably stronger that the building itself could withstand.

I have little simpathy for the millionaires that owned those houses. The insurance companies will pay to rebuild them. No sympathy! Those are rich mother fkers with tons of money!

Or someone moderately wealthy that spend their lives working their butts off to build/buy their dream home. Not all wealth comes without hard work, many work their butts off to earn it.
