My dad was killed in a propane explosion at a fire. He was my hero as an army veteran then a Fire Fighter, i idolized him. I will never forget the day when the Chief came to my mommas house with a liaison officer and told her of his death. I saw her breakdown and i broke down with my momma. Luckily the guys from the fire house and mommas family and dads family were a great support to us and helped us through it. Im proud of the service my dad gave, not only as an army veteran but also as a fire fighter.
Dang. That officer’s nerves must be made of titanium… God bless him.
I‘m loving this firefighter breakdown series
Many years ago as a young firefighter in a small rural VFD, I was in the officer seat of the first due engine. We were going to beat the Chief to the scene, I thought it would be a great idea to give an arrival report. I had just completed a command class, but arrival reports were not common in our County. I called the Chief on the radio and said we have a two and half story wood frame dwelling with heavy smoke and flame through the roof, with limited access. The Chief responds to me on the radio "that's why they called us", oh well I tried. I still get teased about it. That was probably 30 years ago, and the Chief, is long since deceased, RIP Chief. I agree the officer and dispatcher did a good job.
The fire breakdowns are extremely educational. Thank you for sharing.
This firefighter is one of my fathers good friends. They are both District Chiefs with the agency and this has to be one of the closest calls they've ever had.
This breakdown is excellent. I particularly do like your emphasis in calm, thorough, deliberate scene survey. Especially for a Fire Commander, coolness is literally vital. I also like your acknowledgment of the Emergency Communicator, listening attentively and relaying accurate updates after the Officer broadcast. This serves multiple purposes: it lets the Commander know he was heard and how he was heard, it ensures that the message got to all units, in case a dead zone or some other factor exxed out all or part of the scene report, and it offers the Commander the chance to amend his report, after the read-back. It is vital in a mutual aid situation, as it coalesces responding units into a clear, unified frame of mind and purpose, before coming on scene.
For new and wannabe firefighters here,
Kent County, where this fire occurred, has the best dispatchers. Every single department does an incredible job with Autoaid and just working as a team.
When I belonged to a rural NY fire dept some years ago, we had a "brush truck. It was a 1-ton 4WD used or fighting brush or grass fires. However, after fighting house fires where a vehicle was either in a garage or near the house, we equipped he brush truck with 50 feet of cable and a large hook. Using it to drag the vehicles a safe distance from the fire did two good things; it cleared the space round the structure and limited the overall damage suffered by the homeowner
I am a 21yr Veteran VFF One thing almost all of us miss is what type of vehicles are in the driveway. Notice the Full Size Cargo Van with the rack on it Carrying what appears to be pipe. This should tell you something about your scene. This is a Plumbing contractor, Electrician, or HVAC contractor this means two of these guy use larger propane or map gass cylinders, this could also contain empty refrigerant containers. All of these increases the chance of explosions, and Hazzardous Chemicals on site. I always teached the initial walk up is where a Command Officer shows he or she has balls of steel. Because of Murphys Law you never know what you are walking into. Notice the color of flames extending from the garage. This can tell you about the intensity and what is burning.
One of the best first due responses I have ever seen.
The donutoperator of firefighting
Going to assume that's going to trigger a third alarm, flaming debris sent into the neighboring area.
I think the deck gun was great use of water on the fire.
Have the 1st in engine bring me a change of pants. Also this is the reason why I hate attached garages
LOL. That 360 walk got a bit further away from the fire after that explosion. I would be bounding from tree to tree.
Hi Mike! I love watching your videos! I’m looking to become a volunteer firefighter in the fall while in college and your videos really help me understand what it’s like to be a firefighter! Keep up the good work and thank you for your service!
For those not familiar, I recommend the You Tube Channel "David Decker". He's a BC on the Newark Ohio FD and does videos from his command car much like what was done in this video. Speaking as a retired chief, I give this officer a big thumbs up.
As Vol FF yrs. back we had a fully involved structure. I was on the nozzle as we advanced around the D side. There were two 70 LB RV LPG bottles. Had the nozzle on fog pattern working the side of the house. I was about 20 feet around the corner, as I turned that's when I seen the first lpg bottle do a Roman Candle, and the second bottle BLEVE. Knocked me and the guy behind me backwards. The bottom 1/3 was impacted in the ground about 10-12 inches the rest of it was every where else. As for the first one that did a Roman Candle we never did find it.
