What an awesome overall attack by firefighters on this fast moving fire. It could've been much worse. Again our firefighters prove why they are heroes!! Thanks for sharing this great video with all of us! Stay safe!!
The contractors who built those homes that close together and the city codes enforcement who allowed it should be held responsible for the second house that was destroyed. They might as well have put a wick between every one of them
I work on line maintenance for CATV, fires damage the main lines so I am sent to fix them and encounter fires like this. I have seen them several times leave the gas line lit and just control around it so it wont spread because its extremely hard to keep it out until the ambient heat is down or they can get the gas company there to close the supply. The scary one I saw once was a large propane tank at a home it vented and was like a raging demon and 5 lines spraying right on it wasnt doing anything.
Looks like from the beginning the primary focus was exposure B. That deck pipe and at least 2 hand lines were directed that way. They made a wise decision, the 2 other houses were already lost and it was strictly a defense operation. Good job CFD!
New gas mains and services are plastic now. There also at a high pressure. The fire probably melted the riser below the regulator. As a former gas utility worker i have a couple of observations. Risers are what comes out of the ground and then connects to the regulator then the meter fit. The riser usually has protection sleeve to stop it from burning. Then high pressure systems when they t off the main. Thats the service to the house ending at the riser. Once it comes off the main there is a fitting similar to a check valve. This fitting allows the gas to pass real slow and if the line opens allowing gas to rush out. It immediately stops the flow. That was a gas fire and something doesn't look correct. Check with your local city and see what the requirements are for new gas lines. Somebody cut corners and this is a national standard
clever to catch the hydrant at end of crecsent -to feed second pumper - which in turn fed water to ladder truck- again big fire,big water ! Good training -good results. Way to go Calgary Fire !
Great job they did with the few firefighters on the scene. The first engine wasn't afraid of big lines and water curtains to safe house#3. GREAT job to all involved from our friends up north.
Well, well. I see our "good buddy" vinyl siding is present. Not a cheap material, just not fireproof. Guess we should be glad that the stuff doesn't maintain a flame after the heat is removed. If it did not, that would be one REALLY scary thought (by the VAST amounts of the siding in use in North America on new and old buildings! Wow! Great job, by the way Mr. Alar! You keep training your little ones like you showed to us! Bravo and Kudo's to you my lad!
The legal setback requirement (distance from structure wall to property line) clearly isn’t sufficient to hinder fire propagation to exposures. And in many places they’re continuing to push hard for high density housing so we’ll be seeing this happening often.
My guess is those flames between the houses may have been from a natural gas supply which wasn't shut off yet. It was a steady flame with some force behind it.
Thanks Ivan. Great video. Great job by our boys and girls in the CFD for knocking down the fire as quick as they did with no help from the wind. Cheers people,. Be safe!
Just hope there is never a mains problem and a house fire at the same time because the whole street will go up especially if it really windy. Andy England 🇬🇧👍
It's 2020 and we still have learned from the Chicago Fire of 1871 that poor construction etc can create a huge disaster. This could have been much worse.
Developers don't care what happens after they sell these subdivision lots off. The more they cram together, the more money they get. And cheap ass "engineered" wood construction and vynal siding the all the plastic shit consumer products and today's furniture all together is as flammable as a bunch jars full of farts in a gas glazed wooden box in a volcano.
I’ve seen so many of these US / Canadian fires involving domestic dwellings. Most seem to be built of timber plus using this external plastic pvc cladding that is just asking for trouble. On top of that, they are all so close together. Are there any building regulations that govern these building techniques and materials?
Technically yes, but the real life results speak for themselves. In europe there are barely any house fires. A room or two in flames, sure, but how would a house burn if it can only be made from concrete or stones? The walls will still stand after 99% of fires. Only old houses with historic wood construction, cheap new buildings like supermarkets or barns can really burn down there. Wood is simply not allowed for domestic dwellings, apart from roof beams of a certain thickness. That's why the entire concept of roof venting confused me at first, you'd need a jackhammer in europe, not a chainsaw.
It's not just timber. Many of our wood structures use engineered wood products for joists and such. Two Firefighters in my city died entering one of these because flashover happened so quickly. They say it's only something like 8 minutes to get out now, where older homes are like 15-20 minutes. Awful.
@@grabasandwich yes. This day and age by the time firefighters get there it's already flashing over. And 20 years ago you had 20 minutes but today by the time your smoke detectors go off it's almost too late
That Flame You see between The 2 Burned Houses is a Natural Gas Line That ether Broke ether before The Fire or after & The High Later is called a Stick in Firefighter Lingo. by The way I Hope everyone is Safe.
Thank you for the video Ivan. That was quite a fire and overall the fire dept did a great job containing to just the 2 houses, even though a 3rd house did get some damage
Nice work from the FD, shame the houses are made from tinder. I don't understand why buildings are built so poorly, it's the same in the UK, wooden framed, brick skinned crap with no real walls inside, and thrown up.
hope you train your children what to do in case of fire in your house or even next to your house as in the case of these two homes. Wish luck on recovery
When I grow up I want to be a firefighter. And yeah that was a big fire but for me that is not scary. I would just love to see those firefighters work. But getting inside that big house fire will be scary. But putting the fire out is fun for me. Nice video glad you are safe
Big fire: Big water. A lesson that still needs learning in some places. Anybody criticizing the tactics has never faced this type of fire, which is all too familiar in North America. The lines being operated by the firefighters ‘sitting’ are 2000 lpm blitzfies Or 65mm handlines(1500 lpm)The 44mm handlines are for the mop up job. The master streams operating from the trucks put out up to 6000 lpm each. We are fortunate in Calgary to have an excellent water system to sustain such a large amount of water flow. And yes, the flare is the natural gas line. It won’t be extinguished until the gas can be turned off.
In Oregon, they use a device called a Shirk belt, which allows you to operate a 2 1/2 " line just like a 1 1/2 inch line. I have never seen them anywhere else.
k0smon We went to smooth bore nozzles on all our attack lines and the difference in back pressure is quite noticeable. One FF can manage a 65mm line in a static position like these with 350kpa (50 psi) nozzle pressure (15/16” bore). Makes a good stream for short range jobs like this.
I guess in Calgary they don't turn off the natural gas when the house is burning! House #1, the source house, has a gas line flaming on the A-side between it & House #2. Seems pretty dangerous not to have the gas company shut it down fast!
We may as well start getting used to that stuff. Where I live (USA) people are getting arrested and fined/jailed for going to church and there are special hotline numbers for neighbors to snitch on each other. It’s only gonna get worse...
That's What happens When You Build Light Construction & Close enough together if You Stand between Them & Stretch Your Arms out & You can Touch both Houses This is Whey This Happens When The Wind Blows Hard or Kicks up This is The end Result.
Paper shingles, particle board, engineered trusses and manufactured flooring. Most have a fire resistance rating but when that rating time is up the glues burn like gasoline. Add to that plastic siding and Chinook winds. Building codes need to be changed!
No good reason for building houses that close except greed. Building codes everywhere for any single or multiple family living structures should be not less than 30 feet apart.
@@robertmichalkowski66 Correct, but within cities lots are too small to go much farther. Plat books show lot sizes and the only way to get more room is to by 2 or more lots. Multi housing builders try to squeeze out as much $ as possible by building multi family close together.
@@davec850 yes they do. But like we both said to close together. The average joe doesn't think about that when they buy a house. Where I live in the he USA we have 50 between house and that is to close. I agree the builders squeeze as much as they can in and towns and cities dont complain because it more tax revenue
No you only have 2 water cannons the rest are hose lays 2 1/2 " and 1 3/4" hose lays. The flames you see towards the end in side the first house appers to be natural gas burning.
I wish they would quit building houses so close together like they do that’s one of the reasons why entire neighborhood goes up is because the houses are too close together like 3 or 4 they been to build them like 20 feet away from each other if they do, that would be less of a big fire hazard for the neighborhood remember safety people, safety
Well that's how's it done. It used to be worse. Eaves next to eaves. Building standards have change that you cannot build that close together. However, everyone is greedy and wants to get the most money out if the least amount of property. So the jam them together. If you seen where I live, you shit. The neighbors house did burn years ago. Two people died in it. Careless smoking. Fortunately, there was only a bathroom window exposed to our house and we were unaffected. However, whole neighborhoods were built this way. Our house is 100 years old.
I think there should be a fire system for every house and multi-story building. According to the information given by the fire authority, whether fire fittings are installed or not, after identification, the fire authority will issue a no objection certificate to the owner. must be allowed to live in that house or apartment
Who the hell make houses from wood and plastick???? If those houses were made from bricks and concrete most likely only one would have been lost not 2 and third one the plastick already melted down and wood became black from the flames. If it wasnt for amazing response from firefighters third one would have been gone as well.
@@mirilikolar because it's all about money plain n simple. There are cheaper to build, materials cost less and developer makes millions because people are willing to pay.
If it was not for the quick action of the CFD, the wind would have taken the rest of the block downwind. Those 4 hand lines and deck gun are what saved the third house and the rest of that block from the same fate as the two. Great job shout out to Calgary’s bravest!
It's probably not just the siding. The engineered wood products used in new home for joists/beams and such (for like 15-20 years) are like sawdust glued together and go up in flames awfully quick.
@@grabasandwich your absolutely right. Building materials today suck. Nothing but solid gasoline. Add the petroleum based home furnishing and you have a recipe for disaster. 20 years ago you had 17 to 20 minutes to get out of a house fire, today 3 to 5 minutes.
This guys commentary and tone of voice make it sound like he lit the house on fire and came home and started filming and was like "Oh wow whats happening.. Oo that looks really bad oh no" lol
How about an aggressive interior attack from the unburned portion blowing the beast back to the already burnt area. no fuel no fire. I'm just asking. I have no idea how the rapidly deteriorating conditions were upon arrival. was it really rocking and rolling when y'all arrived? those homes must be real tinder boxes.lots a wet stuff on the red stuff. Y'all had a good stop .did great on saving the exposure with that wind and proximity 🤞🚒🔥.
That fire that's burning close to the ground between homes is probably the gas line. They don't want to put that out, then would have a build up of gas. Leading to an explosion.
There is a time to Squirt water and a time to surgically apply water to Visible Burning Material. It's really important to know when it's time to change over from being a Fountain Statue to Thinking.
Great video. Would it be ok if I share this video with the manufacturer of the fire trucks in this video? They love seeing the trucks they’ve built going to work? Thanks.
Ivan Alar thanks, they love seeing the trucks they build do the work there made for. Great video btw. Hate it for the homeowners, but great job. Thanks again.
Damn yard breathers, for the love of god, SHAKE! Or shut the pass alarm off. My chief would come up and slap us if ours kept going off while outside the fire building.
Your Chief sounds like he needs to be punched in the teeth and told to worry about being in command while the Capt's and other officers deal with the firefighters.
Thanks to strong and quick effort of calgary firefighters, damage was mainly limited on bonus, upper rooms and double attached garages in two houses, and same are completely lost in fire while the rest of the houses is saved as far as I know but I am not sure, and I do not know what is the next step, everything is under construction and fenced ..
Você está bem meu amigo isso aí serve para vocês também cuidado com as suas cuidado com a sua boca que senão amanhã a sua pode ser teve para vocês tomar vergonha na cara e não fazer o que a p*** vem fazendo eu não vai sobrar para tua casa

Yes ,without FIREFIGHTERS all houses in line would be gone .. !!!! Thank you , stay safe .. 👍
Those mass built houses go up like a box of matches. Wind not helping either.
The contractors who built those homes that close together and the city codes enforcement who allowed it should be held responsible for the second house that was destroyed. They might as well have put a wick between every one of them
I love in Calgary and o agree they are so bad, a tiny house built 100years ago takes more than 45 minutes to burn down under a controlled fire.
27:00 When you said `Stubborn,' that was the Natural Gas line burning. Best thing they can do is leave it burn till Atco can get there.
Yes I know now .. 👍 .. That is power of learning .. 😀 .. End result is knowledge!!

4 hand lines and deck in operation. Ladder going up. Thats Canadian fire tactics at work.

Cracker box houses offer no resistance to fire.
If people stopped buying these oversized houses that would help. The only reason they are so close is they want to build right to the allowed line
The legal setback requirement (distance from structure wall to property line) clearly isn’t sufficient to hinder fire propagation to exposures. And in many places they’re continuing to push hard for high density housing so we’ll be seeing this happening often.
Surround and drown, must have good hydrant pressure and flow.
While I watch a lot of these firefighting videos I have to say that that is the most amount of water I have ever seen on fires of that size.
You would think Insurance Companies and Building Regulators would insist on a statutory legal distance between timber constructed homes.
My guess is those flames between the houses may have been from a natural gas supply which wasn't shut off yet. It was a steady flame with some force behind it.
good call....sure what it looks like.

At the time, there was another house burning in the community of Royal oak. That’s really scary, 3 fires in one day.
Hi
So sad for those that lost their homes. I pray everyone got ok with no injury or loss of life. Prayers to you all.

@@cfol1382 .. Thank you and take care 👍 ..
Damn yard breathers, for the love of god, SHAKE! Or shut the pass alarm off. My chief would come up and slap us if ours kept going off while outside the fire building.
Your Chief sounds like he needs to be punched in the teeth and told to worry about being in command while the Capt's and other officers deal with the firefighters.
AND HERE WE GOOOOOO!!!!! THE ARMCHAIR FIRE FIGHTERS AT IT AGAIN!!!!!!
owe noee thar's a fire eh??
Holy Smoke!
looks like a gas line in between the houses thats on fire
They build them to close together!
Where will they ever get enough maple syrup to spray on this fire?
I hope everyone made it oot.
Ladder pipes, wagon pipes and blitz fires for a 2.5 story. Jesus Christ this is hard to watch
I’d rather see too much manpower/equipment/water volume than not enough. I’ve seen the latter quite a few times.
FDNY would have walked in the back and pushed it back out the front.
@@k.d.grissett7937 yeah...ok
Any update please.
Thanks to strong and quick effort of calgary firefighters, damage was mainly limited on bonus, upper rooms and double attached garages in two houses, and same are completely lost in fire while the rest of the houses is saved as far as I know but I am not sure, and I do not know what is the next step, everything is under construction and fenced ..
