Textbook wood frame balloon construction 2 story fire. Tragic loss of life, but wisely or luckily they didn’t have crew’s interior. These types of fires have been deadly to fire fighters for decades when they don’t realize the fire is going up through the walls. When the fire gets to the attic/roof (like the beginning of the video shows) interior crews can get disoriented when they have heavy fire overhead very quickly. Great video.
AND the potential that your working above a working basement fire while you're working your way up to the attic. Been in many of these type of houses. Very prevalent in farm country where I started out in the fire service
This dwelling looks like it was in a extremely difficult place to effectively fight this huge fire. With the power lines right there, it makes the situation very dangerous, with water and electricity. Very very sad that a elderly couple did not make it out. My prayers for the family and safety of all the fire fighters. These brave firefighters drop everything in their personal lives to rescue and fight fires for strangers. Thank them next time!!!!
So sad this was a fatal fire !! It's new years Eve and I need to recognize you for the flood you went into with no name guy and saved people!! Been a fan of you ever since !! Thanks man ✌️👍👍
Prayers to the family of this elderly couple who lost their lives in this fire. May they RIP. I pray our Lord will give the family the strength needed to deal with this. God Bless.
This was a truly shi&$y fire to fight. Heavy involvement, power lines everywhere, very close exposures, little room to work interior, collapses, entrapment, fatalities... end result is you have a bunch of crew standing around, wanting *badly* to do something but unable to because of the wretched conditions present. At least there aren't a bunch of armchair firefighters throwing peanuts from the peanut gallery about how THEY would have fought this fire. This is the sort of fire that sticks with crews for a very, very long time.
These seaside town houses can be very old, often built of cheaper material choices of that time, and originally designed and constructed strictly for summer use... HVAC and year-round habitation features would have been installed or upgraded later in many cases... So, when fire gets a foothold, these structures can pose quite a unique set of problems... My condolences to the family...

On the outside walls the frame studs goe from foundation to attic. Called balloon frame. A good open space between each stud. The wood used for that type of building was ruff and dry.

@@zzthumper72 apparatus placement doesn’t make much difference. There are plenty of departments (mine included) where it’s necessary to make a hand stretch for hundreds of feet because the apparatus simply will not fit down the street.
@@kmslfd Surgically applying the water is much more important than the volume. Unfortunately, it takes the ability to Think and care rather than Squirt, to do that.
@@ritirons2726 And when the street CAN fit an engine, you place it close to the fire scene, correct? So you can use it's master stream on heavy fire. Or if you park farther away, you have a blitz or a 2 1/2". Why would you make life harder than it has to be?
Very sad indeed! This reminds me of the fact that our house has a wooden staircase which is the only way out from the 1st and 2nd floors (1930s vintage building!). I am already thinking of getting a 10kg fire extinguisher in case of a worst case! My condolences to the family of the deceased! All the best!
I wouldn’t think too long about it before you know it,you can forget. For you and your family’s safty and piece of mind. I have about 10 of them all around the house.
Best to just get out and let the fire dept do the work. Too many people die in fires because they think they can handle it. You can do more damage with a fire extinguisher if you don't know how to handle it.
@@tmilesffl A fire extinguisher (25lb, the kind I meant a year ago) can work at the very beginning of a fire, e.g. to put out an overheated frying pot on the stove, which often is a source of a house fire. Or an 110V - 220V transformer that is failing. If the fire has spread to the room itself, it's too late. In this case, it's either 911 or 112, depending on your country. Last but not least, it's not too hard to handle a fire extinguisher, an instruction is always printed (three symbols) on the outside of the container. All the best!
It makes no sense to wear that SCBA on your back an not have the mask on when you're directly in the smoke. There's NOTHING you can do to save any lives or that building. Pull back and put some master streams on it.
What caused this blaze that it got so bad so quick? Fully involved on arrival. Dry Christmas tree maybe? They didn't get a handle on it until late in the video.
6:10 no criticism and sincere question from fire service member…why would we ever put a firefighter on ladder if defensive? I think we have hoses and nozzle combinations that can blast out windows while we, 😜 put out the fire without putting some 40 year old volunteer firefighter on ladder for zero godly purpose
Also, why is size-up important with 3 side drive- pass with best first visual…but zero protocol for bending or protecting ground stakes around structure fires??? 5 gallon buckets with modified lid tucked into base of standard 5 gallon pale would cost $10 per stake and definitely difference between a broken leg fall or a broken dead fall.
@@bobvidoni5898 1 3/4 inch. With at least 45 FF standing there and 4 working with small lines? BULLSHIT!! Where are the 2 1/2s ? deck guns? blitz guns? Men on big guns drowning that fire? never saw anything so bad as this dance!
If a house is burning in the US, it is completely destroyed normally and here in Europe, most houses are build out of stone, means they can be sanitized later, but I don´t know, what is more expensive, to build a new house out of wood or to renovate a burned house made of stone...
@we73 In the US ~80% of residential structure fires are contained to the room of origin Of the remaining number, ~80% the fire is contained to one adjacent space But thanks for confirming your incredible ignorance
@@virgilhilts3924 Now look at your last sentence of your first answer you gave me. If that's your way of talking, then it's up to you! But it is not mine...
Why are so many firemen just standing around? This seems to be the theme for firefighters in New Jersey. Maybe more training is needed. Definitely more water! No prevention on exposures! Paid or volunteer firemen, fighting a fire should be the same.
The sounds of my family screaming in the background shouldn’t be recorderd. You want to record training videos? Show it to firefighters that are learning not 500,000 people on youtube. This is horrific.
Even so, it didn’t need to be posted during a pending investigation. And if it needed to be used for training it could be done in private. Etiquette and compassion are also important lessons for firemen.
Recording from the public domain of the street is not a crime. JSFR worked within the limits of law enforcement at this scene. There are many videos of this fire circulating. The videos of the coroner are more disturbing.
@@briannaboyce8658 yes, that audio should've been edited but know that I prayed for your family and I'm sure many others did as well. This was horrific and my sincere condolences to you and family.
8:00: All those power cables dangling in mid - air...really make it hard to put water on the fire! Even 110V hurt when you accidentally hit the cables with your line, as fireman! And these lines leave no space for a tower ladder. Anyway, as the fire building looks like a total loss, the two adjacent buildings have been saved - success!
Am I mistaking..but why aren't they trying to put it out..wth..why do they wait so long..🤬why don't they keep putting water on it..I mean that house is a lost...but worried about the house next door catching..smh
Why we're they trying to get in the door the front window was gone Should of just put water in the opening an not worried about getting in the door flames were way to much to go in

Definitely needed 2 .5 immediately and blitz fire setupin the front of the house and rear first due should have came in from the other side of the street and laid out from the plug
@@billmahnken915 there's wires that go across the road from one side to the other you can see it in several shots and they have to be able to move the ladder portion to aim which they can't do
100 FFs standing around while only a handful of other ffs working, sad it takes 5-6 guys to hold one hose. Don't know what is with NJFD all the fires I see out here on You Tube seems like they just let the houses burn down
I live on this block. They had at least two hoses going in the back for hours. They had at least one or two hoses alternating between the front and back too. There was plenty of water
I was in red bank this afternoon so I stopped by the scene. No shortage of hydrants at all. There’s a street with access to the Charlie side with a hydrant in the rear. Couple of master streams with stacked tips could have helped, fog nozzles ineffective with a deep seated fire like this. Tough spot to operate a tower ladder on the alpha side, maybe a short wheelbase straight truck or tiller on Charlie. Not a fire you want ANY roof ops with balloon construction. Command kept their crews safe and covered the exposures. Deepest condolences to the family of the couple who perished.
WTF 1 3/4 inch lines? NOT! . With at least 30 then 45 FF.s standing there and 4 Firefighters working with small lines? BULLSHIT!! Where are the 2 1/2s ? deck guns? blitz guns? Men on big guns drowning that fire? Never saw anything so bad as this dance! Tragic loss of life, my condolences to the family.
Any fog nozzle is worthless on very hot deep seated ventilated fires. Fog stream will vaporize and vent before it reaches the seat of the fire. Manned blitz lines/remote master streams/deck guns with stacked tips will work since the pressure and volume of the stream will not vaporize before it gets to the seat of the fire. As mentioned before big fire means big water 1 3/4” hand lines is not big water. Balloon construction fires are very nasty and deadly if not identified. If you can’t get the fire knocked before it gets in the walls it gets bad quickly as the video clearly shows. Thoughts and prayers for the loss.
@@bentley4446 If the cone of water is tight enough to penetrate the energy of the fire or wind, it will cover more material and eliminate that energy. That's Why it is adjustable.
First of all, I love this kid's channel. He's got some great videos and one thing about him is, he explains what's happening. I love his commentary. Aside from that, this fire is horrible. An elderly couple didn't make it. I feel so bad for the family, friends, and neighbors as well as the firefighters who did everything they could to save the couple. That has got to be hard. We are lucky to have such brave firefighters who risk their lives to save others. That is the true definition of "hero" in my book. RIP to the couple. Prayers for all
You can go in there if you want, but no guarantee to leave. That fire was too dangerous for an interior attack due to the frame of the house and the immediate danger of collapse. There was a collapse on the Charlie side of the building but we can’t see that side in the video
Coming from a man who's profile is sitting in a recliner. You're comment is a poor excuse. You don't put your people in imininate danger for a structure that was lost upon arrival. Im sure this so called sorry excuse for a FD can use the fire ground expertise of a man like you. Guess you're into killing ffs. You go through that front door Mr Hero.
Its a news story. Live with it. Photography is allowed and that is that, just so long as they stay out of the way. Condolences to the deceased and family and neighbors.
Unfortunately there is no expectation of privacy in public... Meaning if you can see it from public view you can film it that's your first amendment right to do so and a police officer can't enforce the statement he allegedly made as it's not a law it was an unlawful request being that it would be a violation of the first amendment to stop someone from filming this fire
Grandparents had a fire really more smoke then flames they wanted to put holes the roof my dad no unless ur going to replace it just break out the windows in the basement( that's were it was) an open the outside entrance it worked he was a fire fighter the chief stop by an told grand father ur son had right etc my gf said he was a fire fighter if he said don't put in my fucking roof then don't put holes my fucking roof grf kicked the chief out of the yard if u walked into first floor u would never have known there was ever a fire just smoke smell it's a ranch no major damage to framing
Here it is 2021 and they still suk 🙄 This is embarrassing to even watch Tax dollars down the shtter. They should have master streams thru the top floors . Terrible just terrible
It's absolutely incredible that with all that Visible Burning Material they can't apply the water to stop combustion. It's all in the application boys and girls. You have to THINK about where every drop is going and what it is accomplishing. Oh and, you have to possess the strong work ethic to actually DO the JOB!
NJ fire Depts spend the most tax money for apparatus, but have the worst firefighters. It’s not as hard as they say it is ,just get water on it and problem goes away.
thats a silly broad comment you dont know nada about fire fighting or fire behavior and nj has some great depts newark f.d is one of the tops in the nation.
Sorry for the loss of family. I have been involved in many fires like this, not this exact type of structure. But when there is a fatality and the body not recovered it turns into a possible crime scene for investigations. Yes, those of you will scream about more water as the fire will ruin the investigation too. But it doesn’t work that way for criminal reasons.
These guys didn't habe a clue what they were doing , there was zero coordination at the scene , 50 firefighters on hand and most of them were just standing around with their hands in their pockets . The first big problem is none of them knew how to use the fire nozzle correctly , a full stream shot through a window does not put out a fire ! The nozzles should have been right next to or inside the window on full fog , that would have instantly cooled the room thus putting out the fire , people are completely misguided as to how a fire works , it takes three things n for fire to happen , one is fuel , anything that's burning is the fuel , two you must have air , fire needs oxygen , and three is heat with no heat there is no fire , so something has to be removed so the fire goes out , you can't take away the fuel because it's burning , you can't take away the air because it's all around , the only thing a firefighter can take away is the heat , you do that by cooling the area , water doesn't smother a fire , most people think that's what the water is for , smothering the fire , that is wrong , the water is for cooling and a nozzle.on full fog quickly turns to steam , the steam is still cooler than fire , steam fills the room and the fire is out , if they would have done that.from the very beginning this fire would have been completely out in minutes , by using a direct stream the water created a vacuum behind the stream of water , when that happened instead of cooling the entire room , they only cooled one spot , directly where the water was hitting , and with the vacuum it pulled in more air for the fire to breathe , they actually made the fire conditions worse , not better . The other problem was organization , they had none , each member of a fire crew should know exactly what they need to do immediately on a fire scene , the chief is busy , he can't tell each person what to do every.second of a fire , practice drills are a must for any department . Most municipalities want people trained as EMT's or Paramedics with fire training sort of , this is what happens when they think that way . The first thing that should have happened upon arrival was someone walks the perimeter of the scene , while that's happening a crew is making entry into the building with a charged line in hand and at least three crew members all wearing breathing apparatus and full gear , the fire suits worn by firefighters can handle temperatures up to 1,400° for a short time , with a charged line cooling everywhere they go before they enter , they could have done a complete sweep of the building and possibly rescued the victims , maybe not , but at least they would have tried , I know I would and so would my crew , I have a degree in fire science and over 3,000 hours of fire training , on everything from jet fighters crashing to semis carrying liquid propane on fire , and freight trains with liquid chlorine to farming accidents , I trained for everything . My department pioneered the tanker shuttle system and the portable.water.tank for rural fires , sorry to be so critical , but just maybe a firefighter will read this and learn or be reminded of something and someday it may save lives , even their own . I am now retired , but I remember everything .
"I have a degree in fire science and over 3,000 hours of fire training" Nobody talks about brave men in their proud simulators. -Lt. Commander Thomas Dodge
Look at just about ANY fire video and you will see a straight stream, NOT a fog pattern for interior attack. Fog introduces air to a fire and creates too much steam, which will burn through Fire Fighter gear causing severe burns. Case in point, NYFD ONLY uses smooth bore nozzles on all their hoses. Fog patterns are used mainly for exposure protection and brush fires. Straight stream for fire suppression. Have been that way for decades and decades. Not sure where you learned about fires.
@@zzthumper72 straight stream is a US tactic. Here in Europe or esp. Germany fog pattern is used in most cases. Always in to windows or while interior attack. Probies learn early how to use the fog nozzle. Straight streams are used very rare or only with deck guns or masterstreams from buckets. Never at an appartment fire.
Someone asked why the F/F are not immediately pouring water on residential fires. I guess it’s not common knowledge to the public that F/F’s do a search for occupancy PRIOR to charging those lines and dispersing water, otherwise if there are any survivors they’d die from smoke and vapor inhalation. I mentioned it takes a special kind of individual to walk into an involved building! God bless F/F!
Why are all the firemen standing around, don’t they know to use hoses to put water on the fire 🔥 will put in out !!! I would have 3 master streams on the front, I know from experience, spent 40 years on the fire department.

Sorry for the loss of life and to the love ones. But Agreed! They should be flooding the hell out of that place with 2 1/2 big guns and 2 1/2 hand lines. 50 FF s on scene and four 1 3/4 lines run? WTF. Go through the comments many truths written there.
@@kmslfd also doesn;t help when all the apparatus are at least two houses away from the fire building.
@@zzthumper72 apparatus placement doesn’t make much difference. There are plenty of departments (mine included) where it’s necessary to make a hand stretch for hundreds of feet because the apparatus simply will not fit down the street.
@@kmslfd Surgically applying the water is much more important than the volume. Unfortunately, it takes the ability to Think and care rather than Squirt, to do that.
@@ritirons2726 And when the street CAN fit an engine, you place it close to the fire scene, correct? So you can use it's master stream on heavy fire. Or if you park farther away, you have a blitz or a 2 1/2". Why would you make life harder than it has to be?
prayers to the family
oh man that stinks. I heard the alarms go off all at once.
Very sad indeed! This reminds me of the fact that our house has a wooden staircase which is the only way out from the 1st and 2nd floors (1930s vintage building!). I am already thinking of getting a 10kg fire extinguisher in case of a worst case! My condolences to the family of the deceased! All the best!
I wouldn’t think too long about it before you know it,you can forget. For you and your family’s safty and piece of mind. I have about 10 of them all around the house.
@@mnoble2288 Exactly! I'll see what I can find. All the best!
Best to just get out and let the fire dept do the work. Too many people die in fires because they think they can handle it. You can do more damage with a fire extinguisher if you don't know how to handle it.
@@tmilesffl A fire extinguisher (25lb, the kind I meant a year ago) can work at the very beginning of a fire, e.g. to put out an overheated frying pot on the stove, which often is a source of a house fire. Or an 110V - 220V transformer that is failing. If the fire has spread to the room itself, it's too late. In this case, it's either 911 or 112, depending on your country. Last but not least, it's not too hard to handle a fire extinguisher, an instruction is always printed (three symbols) on the outside of the container. All the best!
It makes no sense to wear that SCBA on your back an not have the mask on when you're directly in the smoke. There's NOTHING you can do to save any lives or that building. Pull back and put some master streams on it.
No smoke / fire detectors ?
That street is just wide enough for one engine at a time let alone to park them
Why are they not putting more water on the fire

What caused this blaze that it got so bad so quick? Fully involved on arrival. Dry Christmas tree maybe? They didn't get a handle on it until late in the video.
6:10 no criticism and sincere question from fire service member…why would we ever put a firefighter on ladder if defensive? I think we have hoses and nozzle combinations that can blast out windows while we, 😜 put out the fire without putting some 40 year old volunteer firefighter on ladder for zero godly purpose
Also, why is size-up important with 3 side drive- pass with best first visual…but zero protocol for bending or protecting ground stakes around structure fires??? 5 gallon buckets with modified lid tucked into base of standard 5 gallon pale would cost $10 per stake and definitely difference between a broken leg fall or a broken dead fall.

If a house is burning in the US, it is completely destroyed normally and here in Europe, most houses are build out of stone, means they can be sanitized later, but I don´t know, what is more expensive, to build a new house out of wood or to renovate a burned house made of stone...

Why are so many firemen just standing around? This seems to be the theme for firefighters in New Jersey. Maybe more training is needed. Definitely more water! No prevention on exposures! Paid or volunteer firemen, fighting a fire should be the same.
It's sad that you are this ignorant
This video was uploaded in the hopes of training and life saving and spreading fire prevention.
The sounds of my family screaming in the background shouldn’t be recorderd. You want to record training videos? Show it to firefighters that are learning not 500,000 people on youtube. This is horrific.
Even so, it didn’t need to be posted during a pending investigation. And if it needed to be used for training it could be done in private. Etiquette and compassion are also important lessons for firemen.
Recording from the public domain of the street is not a crime. JSFR worked within the limits of law enforcement at this scene. There are many videos of this fire circulating. The videos of the coroner are more disturbing.
@@briannaboyce8658 yes, that audio should've been edited but know that I prayed for your family and I'm sure many others did as well. This was horrific and my sincere condolences to you and family.
@@nicolette1030 most fire photographers will not film coroner operations, like the majestirium for example.
Do you know the ages of the people that died in this fire so so sad
8:00: All those power cables dangling in mid - air...really make it hard to put water on the fire! Even 110V hurt when you accidentally hit the cables with your line, as fireman! And these lines leave no space for a tower ladder. Anyway, as the fire building looks like a total loss, the two adjacent buildings have been saved - success!
Way too many firefighters standing around!
Good job. Thank you
So heartbreaking prayers for the family
Am I mistaking..but why aren't they trying to put it out..wth..why do they wait so long..🤬why don't they keep putting water on it..I mean that house is a lost...but worried about the house next door catching..smh

@@Anarchy1777 It’s Keyboard Commanders that probably don’t even live in Nj that make me sick when I read the comments
I was in red bank this afternoon so I stopped by the scene. No shortage of hydrants at all. There’s a street with access to the Charlie side with a hydrant in the rear. Couple of master streams with stacked tips could have helped, fog nozzles ineffective with a deep seated fire like this. Tough spot to operate a tower ladder on the alpha side, maybe a short wheelbase straight truck or tiller on Charlie. Not a fire you want ANY roof ops with balloon construction. Command kept their crews safe and covered the exposures. Deepest condolences to the family of the couple who perished.
I also thought that the firefighters did an awesome job. They risk their lives everyday for all of us. Please, have some respect?!

Men on big guns drowning that fire? Never saw anything so bad as this dance! Tragic loss of life, my condolences to the family.
Where is the intelligent and effective water placement with those 1-3/4" lines? That is what was needed, not volume.
Any fog nozzle is worthless on very hot deep seated ventilated fires. Fog stream will vaporize and vent before it reaches the seat of the fire. Manned blitz lines/remote master streams/deck guns with stacked tips will work since the pressure and volume of the stream will not vaporize before it gets to the seat of the fire. As mentioned before big fire means big water 1 3/4” hand lines is not big water. Balloon construction fires are very nasty and deadly if not identified. If you can’t get the fire knocked before it gets in the walls it gets bad quickly as the video clearly shows. Thoughts and prayers for the loss.
@@bentley4446 If the cone of water is tight enough to penetrate the energy of the fire or wind, it will cover more material and eliminate that energy. That's Why it is adjustable.

I guess they can't go through the front door and also continue to put water on the fire??? Sorry excuse for a Fire Dept.
Imminent collapse doofus they had to pull crews out
You can go in there if you want, but no guarantee to leave. That fire was too dangerous for an interior attack due to the frame of the house and the immediate danger of collapse. There was a collapse on the Charlie side of the building but we can’t see that side in the video
Coming from a man who's profile is sitting in a recliner. You're comment is a poor excuse. You don't put your people in imininate danger for a structure that was lost upon arrival. Im sure this so called sorry excuse for a FD can use the fire ground expertise of a man like you. Guess you're into killing ffs. You go through that front door Mr Hero.
This is my family how is this allowed to be online when the police made a statement about no videos or pictures ? Show some respect and delete this!

Unfortunately there is no expectation of privacy in public... Meaning if you can see it from public view you can film it that's your first amendment right to do so and a police officer can't enforce the statement he allegedly made as it's not a law it was an unlawful request being that it would be a violation of the first amendment to stop someone from filming this fire

thats a silly broad comment you dont know nada about fire fighting or fire behavior and nj has some great depts newark f.d is one of the tops in the nation.
They should have used deck those hand lines no match with the volume of Fire
Sorry for the loss of family. I have been involved in many fires like this, not this exact type of structure. But when there is a fatality and the body not recovered it turns into a possible crime scene for investigations. Yes, those of you will scream about more water as the fire will ruin the investigation too. But it doesn’t work that way for criminal reasons.
Pathetic,absolutely.With all the resourses and they can't put it out.
These guys didn't habe a clue what they were doing , there was zero coordination at the scene , 50 firefighters on hand and most of them were just standing around with their hands in their pockets . The first big problem is none of them knew how to use the fire nozzle correctly , a full stream shot through a window does not put out a fire ! The nozzles should have been right next to or inside the window on full fog , that would have instantly cooled the room thus putting out the fire , people are completely misguided as to how a fire works , it takes three things n for fire to happen , one is fuel , anything that's burning is the fuel , two you must have air , fire needs oxygen , and three is heat with no heat there is no fire , so something has to be removed so the fire goes out , you can't take away the fuel because it's burning , you can't take away the air because it's all around , the only thing a firefighter can take away is the heat , you do that by cooling the area , water doesn't smother a fire , most people think that's what the water is for , smothering the fire , that is wrong , the water is for cooling and a nozzle.on full fog quickly turns to steam , the steam is still cooler than fire , steam fills the room and the fire is out , if they would have done that.from the very beginning this fire would have been completely out in minutes , by using a direct stream the water created a vacuum behind the stream of water , when that happened instead of cooling the entire room , they only cooled one spot , directly where the water was hitting , and with the vacuum it pulled in more air for the fire to breathe , they actually made the fire conditions worse , not better . The other problem was organization , they had none , each member of a fire crew should know exactly what they need to do immediately on a fire scene , the chief is busy , he can't tell each person what to do every.second of a fire , practice drills are a must for any department . Most municipalities want people trained as EMT's or Paramedics with fire training sort of , this is what happens when they think that way . The first thing that should have happened upon arrival was someone walks the perimeter of the scene , while that's happening a crew is making entry into the building with a charged line in hand and at least three crew members all wearing breathing apparatus and full gear , the fire suits worn by firefighters can handle temperatures up to 1,400° for a short time , with a charged line cooling everywhere they go before they enter , they could have done a complete sweep of the building and possibly rescued the victims , maybe not , but at least they would have tried , I know I would and so would my crew , I have a degree in fire science and over 3,000 hours of fire training , on everything from jet fighters crashing to semis carrying liquid propane on fire , and freight trains with liquid chlorine to farming accidents , I trained for everything . My department pioneered the tanker shuttle system and the portable.water.tank for rural fires , sorry to be so critical , but just maybe a firefighter will read this and learn or be reminded of something and someday it may save lives , even their own . I am now retired , but I remember everything .
"I have a degree in fire science and over 3,000 hours of fire training"
Nobody talks about brave men in their proud simulators.

Look at just about ANY fire video and you will see a straight stream, NOT a fog pattern for interior attack. Fog introduces air to a fire and creates too much steam, which will burn through Fire Fighter gear causing severe burns. Case in point, NYFD ONLY uses smooth bore nozzles on all their hoses. Fog patterns are used mainly for exposure protection and brush fires. Straight stream for fire suppression. Have been that way for decades and decades. Not sure where you learned about fires.
@@zzthumper72 straight stream is a US tactic. Here in Europe or esp. Germany fog pattern is used in most cases. Always in to windows or while interior attack. Probies learn early how to use the fog nozzle. Straight streams are used very rare or only with deck guns or masterstreams from buckets. Never at an appartment fire.
anyone who promotes a fog nozzle for anything other than hydraulic venting should probably do some more research
@@zzthumper72 shhh its the FDNY what do they know, only the best Fire Department in the world
Your reporting was suburb. Job well done 👍🔥
Someone asked why the F/F are not immediately pouring water on residential fires. I guess it’s not common knowledge to the public that F/F’s do a search for occupancy PRIOR to charging those lines and dispersing water, otherwise if there are any survivors they’d die from smoke and vapor inhalation. I mentioned it takes a special kind of individual to walk into an involved building! God bless F/F!
please research before commenting
Why are all the firemen standing around, don’t they know to use hoses to put water on the fire 🔥 will put in out !!! I would have 3 master streams on the front, I know from experience, spent 40 years on the fire department.
