Nice exposure protection. Seen so many videos where a second house catches fire because of no protection. Don't understand why the FF on the exposure line never thought about opening the gate.
Adrenaline induced tunnel vision. Probably a rookie. He just got a lesson from the other guy though. Sometimes it's ok to bust some stuff up to get to the problem. He'll be better next time and better still after subsequent events. After 25 years I still learn something every call.
The pipeman on the right is a good example on why more FDs need to bite the bullet and start replacing combination nozzles with an HVLP fitted with a stream shaper. A 2.5 cross lay is a bitch to use by hand even with 2-3 people on it. I started my firefighting career back in the 80's and about 10 years in discovered more modern pipes, they are just about magical as to how effective they are yet still easy to manage. It took some doing and nearly a half-million but I was able to get our entire FD converted. One man can easily flow 250gpm at 50psi out of a 2.5 with a fraction of the effort and still reach 100ft.
3:04 the cop tells the guy manning his garden hose to stop and step aside. I’d tell him “Nah it’s chill I’m gunna keep spraying”. Every bit of water on his house helps prevent it catching on fire too.
LoSTheSpirit. It’s really not surprising at all tbh! Unless you live a full on concrete structure with no carpets, sofas, beds, rugs, clothes etc in it. Everything in the average home will go up in seconds.
Is there a really good reason WHY this ends halfway through? Either watch this on mute, or start a drinking game on how many times that annoying woman uselessly utters "oh my god"
Doesn't do much good to drag all those hoses around if you can't get the water to them. I don't know what it takes to open a valve but it sure seems to take along time. I'm sure there's a reason but it's got to be frustrating to keep waving for water to be turned on.
I did not know that that was their second fire. I remember that the local news here in San Diego said that a plumber's torch started the fire in the garage wall. Luckily no one was hurt. The remains of the house were demolished, and a beautiful new house was rebuilt on the lot.
VideoFanatic02...must have been a do it yourself plumber. Any professional plumber would surely know how to use a torch safely without starting a fire. It’s not rocket science that if you’re working with an open flame with combustibles nearby, you need to take certain safety precautions.
I love watching videos like this it reminds me of my uncle who use to be a capt but now just does maintenance an my cousin he works a fire station here in my state
It's always a good sign that the FD could use a little training when the first line to get water and the nozzleman doesn't know how to control the line, so two civilians had to help him get the line under control.
Look this neighbour, who tries to battle against blaze with the garden hose. Tough man! But unfourtunately no effort. See the teenytiny jet! See the vainness. Hope this pictures stop mean comments.
Love the guy with the garden hose spraying his house right next to two firefighters also spraying his house with like 100x the volume of his little garden hose :P
There are many factors. The fire was self ventilated and there was no way to put it out right away. All you can do is let that shit burn and prevent it from spreading to the other house.
Always? SMH. America is a massive country with lots of rural areas. A lot of the time the responses are from volunteer departments with a long response. Volunteers are necessary but they typically don't have a lot of cohesion as a regular crew or significant training. I'm sure I will catch grief for that but it's true. There are countless videos from U.S. departments making prompt aggressive and competent responses.
mano mano I’m from Australia do you not realise Australia is larger than the U.S. and also parts of Canada. We have a pretty good idea how to fight fires. And most are vols.
ALWAYS First engine company puts water on the fire. You can cool down that exposure all day long, if nobody attacks the fire it is just going to consume and spread. If that 2.5 went directly to the fire, that exposure would have been a mute issue.
Yeah I don't understand why the exposure was the first thing to get water on it. That fire could've been knocked down with a 2.5 and 1.75 attack line with the 1.75 on the delta side of the garage and 2.5 on the alpha. That fire would've been out before second company even arrived.
41 Mhz, yet I've also witnessed main fires not slowing down in spite of a master stream and a couple of 2.5's on it and nothing being done to cool the exposure. The radiant heat then causes the exposure to reach ignition temperature and the entire side of the building ignites all at once, making it difficult to suppress. It takes very little water to cool an exposure and a long, sustained, high volume application of water to slow down a intensely burning main fire. It has been my experience that you have to do a little exposure cool down while trying to fight the main fire, not all of one or the other.
Exactly! Knock the garage. Wet the exposure. Not complicated. love the commentary though. "Turn off the gas." Priceless. Smartest comment was the husband who told the wife with all the bright ideas that they would just be in the way if they tried to move their cars. Good call, man. My sympathies. You've got your work cut out for you.
I guess the WATER wasn't turned on or something He stood there with a NON ACTIVE Hose for a long time! OH! They finally got a Second Hose Running after a long time!
Then she tells the home owner to turn the gas off when the meter is on the opposite side of the house from the fire keep watching the movies lady we will fight the fires
Michael Ayares judging by your profile pic you are a fake firefighter. Firefighters dont have beards due to nfpa regulations. unless of course you work in an illegitimate volly house, or are retired in either cases you are not fighting fires
I took two main things from this video. 1-the excellent cooperation between firefighters, police and civilians and 2-the quick deployment of the exposure line. Great job everyone!
As a former one, they were doing good. They didn’t have enough people there at the time and the roof was coming down. Better to lose property than have to tell a firefighters wife or husband that they died.
Why is the small hose on the inside, where the fire is, and the big hose on the outside? I mean, is it not better to douse the fire at its origin to limit the spread?
Why carry a massive hose interior when your source of fire is the garage? You didn't proof read. Also the U.S has some of the leading strategies in firefighting.
Roy Rod 1st line water curtain protecting the exposure the garage is a goner break the stupid fence and start spraying water on the delta side of the structure involved to protect the Bravo side of the exposure some more. Could have used some webbing to help with the 2 1/2. Water took about 45 seconds maybe there wasn’t a secure water supply near using 2 lines your going to be out in literally minutes but what do I know 🤷🏻♀️
Good job by the guy holding the fire hose behind the firefighter. Anyone can help haul the hoses too. They did the best they could, I hope everyone is safe. Ignore the experts...they're usually not.......I hope your house doesn't burn down.
By law, I think that every single home should be equipped with a proper fire hose, and the owners should attend training in fire fighting. That would save so many lives and properties. When you rely solely on the fire fighters, by the time they arrive and get ready, your whole home will be in ashes.
Or people could stop building their houses out of match sticks covered by flammable plastic covered by flammable bitumen shingles, and switch to masonry like the rest of the world.
So many fires that start in a house are small then they get bigger and bigger, and there's a bunch of people all around. I don't get it, it seems that they can get a hose with a nozel and put it out it's not that hard to do
I know that with government employees there is the union thing goin on, but until that ladder truck came on scene, why didnt the three uniformed guys at the curb (EMTs or PD?) lend a hand where/when they could?
I have seen too many throwing a straight stream to on a fire. You all need to go back to school. You put a fire out by cutting off oxygen and cooling the heat. A fog stream makes it easier to control heat exposures and create steam which cuts off oxygen to the fire.
Garage fires 101. Line #1 should be a smoothbore 2.5” line. Direct attack into the garage to knockdown the main body of the fire. Line 2 should be a 1.75” line thru the front door into the involved structure. The #1 exposure is the rest of the house.
Fire Any solid or straight stream at close range is useless in Quickly stopping the threat which is the flames. You need to cover as much area with water as possible while still overpowering the energy of the fire or wind. Everything else you said is fine
Why does it take your Fire fighters so long to start fighting the fire? Here in the UK, they're on it as soon as the Appliance stops.Within 1min Water is being trained onto the Flames.
@@Nico-bk4fw I though deck guns were "jewish novelties!!!" I have never seen departments use them until they decide the building is a write off and then the decision is made "Ok guys, have fun, can't fu** it up now... anyone want to play with the gun ???"
Mike K it really just depends, I was a whole lot more uneducated a year ago when I wrote that comment... but I still do stand by my comment. If you got on scene and started up the the gun you would have enough water to lay on the fire while you secure a water supply. Once the supply is secured I would pull a 1 3/4 for exposure protection and an 1 1/2 for interior operations to stop the fire from spreading throughout the whole house making it a total loss
Ugh... I understand the panic and worry but it really irks me when people yell at firefighters to "put water on it!" and "put the fire out!" Like... NO SHIT! What do you think they're doing? Riding a ferris wheel?
Were these volunteer firemen? Because it sure seemed like they were confused about what to do a lot of things. I say volunteer because they usually don't have very many fires to work.
Some of the busiest firehouses in the country run as volunteers, 80% of the countries firefighters are volunteers, I've seen permenant departments look like keystone cops and volunteers look like FDNY.......and the other way around. Your statement has no validity.
Can anybody explain this to me? Why do you have in america such ridicoules firehoses. The pressure on is is way to high. It is imossible for 1 man to control the hose. That firefighter is doing nothing with his hose because it is totally uncontrolable. Also he is doing damage to the roof with this ridiculous pressure on that hose. If the hose has got lower pressure he could have done more and quicker. How many bars are on the hose. We use about 7-8 bar. In that way 1 man can control it.

damn these houses go up soo fast!! and so many times you see the next house going on fire too heck I would invest in a sprinkler system
The homeowner with the garden hose is more effective than the fireman ! Wtf
3:04 the cop tells the guy manning his garden hose to stop and step aside. I’d tell him “Nah it’s chill I’m gunna keep spraying”. Every bit of water on his house helps prevent it catching on fire too.
Saved the house and an exposure. Great job!
Saved The House? I don't think so!
Unfortunately the house had to be demolished. But they rebuilt a beautiful home in it's place.
VideoFanatic02...I’m guessing, after 2 fires, the second one a total loss, their insurance premium went through the roof faster than the fire did.
What frustrated me open the dam fence up.
I didn't see a *dam* fence but *damn* , that would really have helped :D
It might function as heat schielding.
FF on the left side of the house is fucking cracking me
Good video... hats off to the fire fighters.
It's crazy how fast these houses can go up in flames, Just amazes me.
LoSTheSpirit. It’s really not surprising at all tbh! Unless you live a full on concrete structure with no carpets, sofas, beds, rugs, clothes etc in it. Everything in the average home will go up in seconds.
what a place to live. i love hot weather. hate this cloudy minus 40
Finally, a neighbor with a garden hose trying to put out a house fire.
2nd fire they have had? Sounds like an insurance scam to me
If I were paying taxes for this, I would move the hell out of town.
Is there a really good reason WHY this ends halfway through? Either watch this on mute, or start a drinking game on how many times that annoying woman uselessly utters "oh my god"
That 21/2 is way to much for them to handle.
What is with the guy on the hose? That guy scares me more than the fire
Its frustrating to see all the firemen standing around and only 1 hose on the fire. 1 fireman stands waiving his hand to give him some water
Doesn't do much good to drag all those hoses around if you can't get the water to them. I don't know what it takes to open a valve but it sure seems to take along time. I'm sure there's a reason but it's got to be frustrating to keep waving for water to be turned on.

"Fire is no joke home owners that suffer sometimes have to deal with the neighbors damage costly embarrassing!"
I love watching videos like this it reminds me of my uncle who use to be a capt but now just does maintenance an my cousin he works a fire station here in my state
I also don't understand why the second hand line in front of the garage wasn't hitting the garage
"White smoke is good". Really genius
White smoke is steam which means water on fire. So yah it is actually good
It's always a good sign that the FD could use a little training when the first line to get water and the nozzleman doesn't know how to control the line, so two civilians had to help him get the line under control.
Looked like a 21/2 line That takes 2-3 people to control
Oh my God, not the Brady's house!!
Thankfully, no :)
Initially they should've chop off the wooden fence ..

It was probably HIS House Next Door! What the HELL do you expect him to do. ASSHOLE!
At least they are attacking the fire correctly. Saving the house next door.
Big Fire, needs some bigger water folks
Didn't break the windows but they did tear some shingles off :)

@2013mdv Try thinking before you comment. Wet down the exposure and Eliminate the Threat!
A very very hot fire. . .
No joke, Put that damn 2 1/2 in the garage and tht 1 3/4 on the exposure. Damn that's frustrating to watch.

I think that the fire fighters know how to do their job without this lady telling them what to do!!👿👌
It's 12-14-21 and greg runs back out of the house and says "he can't find the wrench anywhere !!! " ( in a panic voice )
I guess the WATER wasn't turned on or something He stood there with a NON ACTIVE Hose for a long time! OH! They finally got a Second Hose Running after a long time!
I've seen more than several house fires where the fire has started in the garage. People should keep their flammables locked in fire proof cabinets.
Then she tells the home owner to turn the gas off when the meter is on the opposite side of the house from the fire keep watching the movies lady we will fight the fires
Michael Ayares judging by your profile pic you are a fake firefighter. Firefighters dont have beards due to nfpa regulations. unless of course you work in an illegitimate volly house, or are retired in either cases you are not fighting fires
what you guys couldn't see was that the fire had already spread to the home on the right- they did just fine.
I took two main things from this video. 1-the excellent cooperation between firefighters, police and civilians and 2-the quick deployment of the exposure line. Great job everyone!
I don't believe that ........
Michael Maxwell...don’t forget Ms. Sidewalk Chief, whose suggestions no doubt prevented the whole neighborhood from going up in flames.
"oh my God it's really hot!" Well no shit, Sherlock
Damn guess Jesse went back to finish the Job
I was saying knock down that fucking fence before that 1st FF ever had water.

The firefighter on the exposure line on the #4 side needed to close the nozzle a little bit to enable him to control the line.
Vented outside fire. 30 degree fog all day. Protect neighbors house. Deluge from the basket.
