Garage fire - Godfrey Illinois, Godfrey FD, Alton FD #fire #structurefire

Smash Like, Subscribe, and share with friends, Help me get a new lens for wildlife!! Thanks 🥰 Godfrey and Alton FDs arrived in time to save most of the structure. One resident inhaled smoke but evacuated. They are temporarily displaced. Hoping for a speedy recovery with no ill side effects resulting from the fire. The house is 6 away from where I live. I really wish I had another camera with a wide angle lens, like John B. had with him. In my defense, that's his job and I'm a chaser. You can see the damage to the vehicles in the garage. This incident made me ponder my own garage, smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, etc. I went back and forth over the Jenkins clip as I don't want to disrespect the family. I confirmed the homeowners were safe and passed that on to an authority who asked. #firefighting #garagefire #GodfreyIL #AltonIL #GodfreyFireDept #GodfreyFD #AltonFireDept #AltonFD #photojournalism #documentary #videography #LeroyJenkins
