Video: Pike House at Louisiana Tech…Roof Collapse, Backdraft, or Smoke Explosion?

1 comment

Check out this video. The fire occurred at the Pike house at Louisiana Tech on Saturday. Three firefighters were injured in the fire.

The story on Shreveporttimes.com states:

Parker said the blaze caused the collapse of the roof, which sent a plume of fire and smoke into the air, and caused some area residents to believe an explosion rocked the house when it was simply the collapsing structure.

You watch the video and be the judge…What do you think it is? A roof collapse, a backdraft, a smoke explosion, or a combination? Additional video of the fire is below.

Editor’s Sidenote: I freakin hate youtube videos that disable embed ability (being able to put the video on another site for you non-nerds)!
