An educated guess is that was an Elkhart deck gun that has the pull pin lock on it to decrease the elevation below a certain point and they guy running it was having trouble operating it. If you notice the guy in the grey sweatshirt, he appears to remedy it.

    Alright arm chairs, cut them some slack. Ronkonkoma has 5 paid staff and the rest are volunteer. The deck gun was used quickly and if you noticed it was a black hat on at first, likely a newbie. So give props for quick use of the deck gun which was a good choice and a little slack to the new guy. Eager to help and the aim was quickly adjusted. Before many other depts would have even thought of the deck gun... Water supply was fast with the first in engine dropping what looked like a 5 inch line. All the water that the pump could want. So the back intake was open. They still had pressure to run the deck and a 2.5 inch. So no effective impact. Mistake? Sure. But not one that had an impact and a good learning experience. As for the tax comment, they are a volunteer dept on long island. Not the high-value area like the city of ny. As for staff used on any given U.S. fire engine, you can use many FFs on one engine. With good water supply you could have 4 hose teams (8 ff) a piar setting up the ladder(s) for ingress/egress (2 ff) the engineer and the officer. Totalling 11 staff working one engine. In other countries, you can see 6-8 staff on one engine.

      james vincent I’m in a fairly rural area myself in Washington State. We have paid firefighters but the departments rely on volunteers and even assistance from local military base fire departments . the county is divided into 3 departments which are all county minus 2 small “ cities “ which also have limited paid firefighters.
      I always get a chuckle when people bitch and moan about response times and “ lack of training.”
      For example last week there was a residential structure fire. The closest staffed station is 15 minutes away. At the time of the call the engine and medic unit were out on a medical call. The next staffed station was 25 minutes away. Yet there’s a volunteer station with 1 engine and a tender 5 minutes away . ( water supply was an issue as well so tenders were definitely needed.)
      People bitched about the response time, yet the engine that was on the medical call diverted and was first due. They arrived 18 minutes before a volunteer ( ONE volunteer) arrived with the tender. Luckily he was smart enough to realize it was better to bring the tender so they had sufficient water . Where were the all mighty ones bitching?
      My question is for all the people bitching .. why don’t they just shut their pie holes and volunteer!?
      I personally am a volunteer on the other end of the county .
      Even if we were dispatched for mutual aid it would have taken us 45 minutes to arrive. Not counting the time to get to the station after dispatch , I mean 45 minutes after leaving the station .

      Great comment. I want to add that often the lever that sends water to the deluge gun is at the control panel. In this video the gun was activated and sprayed water In It’s locked position. In a fire such as this (total loss) it is common to let a newer person work the equipment this can lead to a bit of lag time. And no one is moving slow or not doing anything. FF’s were at the ready and in full gear prepared to back up others and go into action. If this was an untrained department with poor leadership the ff’s would have not have been in full gear and breathing apparatus.

      The fire was not under control for the whole video , best rule of thumb for the novice is when you see only white smoke and almost no black smoke that you can assume that the fire fighters have gotten control of the fire . There was still (at the end of the video) a grate deal of black smoke coming from the rear of the structure , not to mention what may have as well been burning behind . One could say maybe they got a handle on the fire , but during this video anyway , said fire was most certainly not under control . At first I wasn't sure , but it looked like they got a good handle on the beast .

They probably didn’t need the ladder to be deployed, our near by department has a ladder and it’s auto aid to all of our fires, we commonly use the ladders deluge while the ladder is still down. From a rural vol. firefighters perspective, my check list of activity’s to do first on scene are different then an urban firefighter, so I can only give from what I experience

      Nick Ruark volunteer departments don’t usually operate it, and training on it is rather simple and easy to figure out. There’s 3 mechanisms the deluge uses for operation, a crank wheel to control up and down movement, a lock that sits just below that (on some) to keep it from rotating, and a fog nozzle for variable applications in a fire. Given time (as we saw) anyone can figure it out, but he just needed to ask for help

Each situation must be evaluated and an assessment be made on the best course of action. To try to save life and property. While speed is essential it is far from the most important thing. Safety of victims and responders is paramount. Bear in mind not all firefighters are professional, there are a great many volunteers who risk their lives too.

      aniwack bullshit. that has never been a pump purge, plus w the volume that pump should be flowing when they have a deck gun and a hand line in operation, theres no reason for the pump to be purging water. ive never seen a plug flow more water than my engine could handle thats bullshit. clearly a driver who has no business operating the pump. call him a driver but not an engineer. whatever chief was in the beginning of the video even had to tell an officer that his ladder is out of service.
      does this department not have test tones twice a day which also dictates what county units are out of service? not saying im not thankfull for these volunteers, just see many instances that portray this department is under-trained and under staffed. short staffing makes things tough, but never should an engine pull up to a scene like this, where there are two- three people climbing on the engine trying to figure out how to move their stream; in their duty shirts, with no bunker gear.

    • @johnnyrebel11
      @johnnyrebel11 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      theres a reason one of the first thing you learn in class is how many turns to fully open a hydrant. its because an engineer wants all the water he can get. if he’s first due on this fully involved building he should have his pump flowing full volume, max pressure to the deck and the remaining split between any handlines. no discussion needed. i saw no exposures. if an exposure id consider giving more pressure to. the handline covering the exposure but id still be flowing every bit i could get.
      obviously my handline(s) is getting priority and getting all the water they can take but every other drop is flowing through the deck. if you bought an engine with a deck that cant flow your pump’s full capacity then you bought the wrong engine.

      It was in an 80% involved, fuel controlled state, with no exposures. The outcome is relatively predictable. I'm not trying to discredit their performance, I am just saying this is a poor example on which to base performance.
      They were handed a relatively simple operation: there were no ventilation concerns, no rescue concerns, no forcible entry concerns, no salvage or overhaul to be done. What are we basing their performance on? The fire came to them, they did not pursue and attack it. I am all about public praise, but I do not believe in cheapening it by throwing it out wholesale. It should be earned.

    • @timc333
      @timc333 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      My thinking on this is there must have been a serious pressure spike on the pump (did see the engineer run towards the aft a few times ) I believe they may have some issues or encountered some issues with their overflow discharge that yes on newer trucks is underneath , had a scary pressure spike and decided to open the rear discharge slightly to help mitigate the pressure build up . The engineer is less scared of the pump exploding than he is of losing the pump and water supply , they really care almost only about the water flow , and the act of balancing the pressure inside of the pumper by opening the rear discharge is not an optimal action (I have seen it done a few times as a fire fighter) yet it keeps the pump working , it takes a very skilled and cool headed engineer to be able to manage this , and yes there was some water hammer in the lines , but the engineer was fighting his own battle at the moment , he did real good .

    A little constructive criticism sir. While your video coverage was excellent, you cut out too soon. Judging from the amount of black smoke being thrown; the fire was far from under control. What you could see was out; but what you can't see is still going and extra-la-emely dangerous for the crews operating. But stick around a little longer on the next one. That's when people can learn the most about working fire operations, fire science and their relationship to one another.
    Easy to critic a department early on; but it's what they do once they have the proper equipment in their hands. Only one frowny face for the FF who didn't know how to lower the deck gun. He could have started knocking that fire a lot sooner. Y'all do need to get your taxes down if what people are saying is true though. Or have that budget audited. Nice work bro. 👍
