Impressive work, thank you for sharing this. I've always wondered how firefighters search burning buildings. It's reassuring to see that it's such a thorough and systematic process. I'm imagining how much of a nightmare my house would be to search though because there are things on all the surfaces like wardrobes...etc and random stuff under the bed! 😬
Guys why did he use his feet to search under the bunk bed and not his tool , also why didn't he sound the floor when he made entry to the rooms , also why'd he leave his tool on the outside of the two back rooms , sorry for asking so many questions its just really different to how we were trained in my basic firefighter class, thanks for an input
1) Sweeping with a tool can cause further injury to a victim. You can “feel” a victim better with a gloved hand or even a foot, than that of a tool. 2) while performing a rapid primary search in an IDLH atmosphere, the idea is to stay low and go. You constantly feel the floor beneath you and evaluate conditions throughout your search. Search off of a hose line is potentially one of the most dangerous jobs we do but it is also one of the most important jobs we do. 3) firefighters often leave tools certain places to help with orientation. Searching with a tool such as an axe or a Halligan tool adds extra fatigue to a firefighter. Leaving it in a hallways prior to searching a bedroom speeds the search up and saves energy for the firefighter when and if a rescue or self rescue is needed.
Extinguish all Visible Burning Material through the windows and doors prior to entry and search. This can be done before a team can even get ready and get the door open. Everything auto vents directly out and the temperature drops by 1000 degrees as soon as the flames are gone. During the search you can open windows from the inside without any fear of fueling the fire.
Wouldn't that remove light, making the search even harder... And would that great alot of steam, which could be harmful to anyone in the room (both fire fighters and patients)
@@micahtritscher951 no, UL testing has found that knocking down the fire from outside improves odds of victims in the building. If they're in the fire room, they're probably already beyond saving if it's already self vented to the exterior
Blindfolded is a game changer.
Avramenko is tired AF right now, lol
I've always been impressed by SFD; especially your Training Division. Good stuff, great training.

Amazing content. Every time
I hear the voice amplifier I think of the stormtroopers! Keep it up!
Wow beautiful training building / setup
Our search training we are blindfolded
Very interesting. To an outsider at first glance a search would seem easy, but then you remember they would be doing this in up to pitch black smoke.
Excellent. Thank you
Muy buena la técnica de búsqueda y rescate

This is soooooo dope. This is my dream job
Aye man 1 and a half more years this will be my reality I will dedicate my body and mindset to this I can’t wait to save people lives
@@sublime234 hell yea dude love to hear that keep up the great work!
Si no está empleando el Halligan, por que no se lo coloca en las espalda y así no le estorba para avanzar
Because the way he was using it slid across the floor with adz and spike down allows him to feel any drop off in the floor before he falls into it
Avramenko...ukrainian name ?

the tool may cause even more trauma to the victim? Idk
