  • Around 3:30pm, multiple calls and heavy smoke from a distance were indicators that a lot of help would be needed at this fire. A 3rd alarm was struck on arrival bringing in 14 departments to the scene. Tankers were needed to bring water to the scene because there are no hydrants in this part of town. The occupant and dog in the house when the fire started were able to safely get out while 1 firefighter sustained a minor injury.

    • @Jimmythefish577
      @Jimmythefish577 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Venting precedes a BLEVE, the more it vents, the greater the risk of a BLEVE. That’s why they were cooling it from a safe distance, to stop the contents reaching the point of BLEVE.

    • @danielbierwirth2190
      @danielbierwirth2190 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      OK so the Propane tank was not anywhere near where it was venting. Watch closely and you'll see the propane tank on the left side, as you look at the venting, 6:44. I suspect that gas flame was the gas line to the kitchen or dryer etc.... I was shocked that they didn't just go over and turn the gas tank to the "OFF" position. Just a thought, only 40 years of firefighting experience, but I could be wrong.

After your comment, I went back and WHALLA, there is another tank which is burned black. You are absolutely right. That thing would have put hair on your chest, (or taken it off), if it went off.

    • @r.a.hassel8006
      @r.a.hassel8006 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      yes that was a gas grill's LP tank venting. The way LP tanks are designed is that they have a vent valve to relieve the pressure when the gas rapidly expands too fast from something simple as the summer heat or in this case a fire. And as far as a BLEVE goes they are crazy rare, in 30 years of firefighting I only seen it once, it was a LP tank on the back of a fork lift and what happened was is the dimwit fork lift driver put the LP tank on the fork lift up side down so it could not vent, and when the tank started on fire because of all things, careless smoking, POOF! Anyways, the only way we would have a BLEVE here is if that tank can't vent the boiling gas fast enough, and there is a "tell" if a venting LP tank is about to BLEVE, that is it will start to "whistle" really loud, when you hear a burning LP tank start to "whistle"...... ah.. RUN!!! Lastly the thing that needed to be done here was rapid cooling of the tank with lots and lots of water, which the FD here eventually did.

    This department exhibits very clearly that there is both a lack of training and food leadership. On the initial attack, it was both misdirected to an inconsequential area of the fire and poorly executed. The line was charged before being even close to an effective position' the subsequent attack at the B side rear was also commenced from a point too far away to be effective. Bot simply wasted the available water. Water continued to be sprayed onto areas where there was no real target to be extinguished. In this case, the fire as so far advanced hat the home was a constructive total loss at the time of arrival. The lack of effective direction and technique could serve as a training aid as an example of what NOT to do upon arrival and in th course of operatios.

I hope they realized that this house had a nice pool. I wonder, why did the the hose men water down the back of the home where there seemed to be no flame. I guess, they couldn't see over the smoke. Wow! Obviously, and thank God, a fire like that service by this department is very rare. The department was overwhelmed and seemed not to know where to start.

      @@jackh577 Most comments on TH-cam are from experienced firefighters but that doesn't make them privy to the Fireground conditions and resources in the videos. Sometimes things are obvious but in this case I think they just suffered from low manpower and lack of water in the initial stages. To be fair that building was lost before arrival. Sometimes you would just love to let it go, all in the best interests of safety and making the job of clearing the site so much easier. The number of times we have put hay barn fires out and then had to dig out the hay to get Goa deep seated fire in a building already lost when it would have been far better just to let it burn away. It just doesn't look good but if you could explain the logistics of it to the owners they would agree with you. Certainly the insurance company would as it would save a fortune in clearing the site for rebuilding. Quite honestly, if I lived in such a remote area in that type of building I would install a manual internal drencher/sprinkler system. The cost of a DIY system can be worth the peace of mind.

      Bill Williams that swimming pool is not a good option for the size of the fire. Now, I’m not saying that they did a good job on this fire by any means. The first officer on scene should have done a 360 and should have committed a 2 1/2 line to the rear on the fire. Not around the corner like we first saw.
      Also, in the beginning we saw there was a lack of manpower to do much of anything until mutual aid arrived with manpower and tankers.
      My observation, unfortunately, told me this home was not going to be saved. Bringing in the tankers and ladder truck for a surround and drown was the only viable option.

    These rural FD's are hard to watch. They all seem to have all the right gear to do the job, everything but how to do it. It's obvious these are a bunch of volunteers. I don't mean to rag on the volunteers, I was one myself for a while at the beginning. I believe it's a case of not knowing what they don't know. It wasn't until I did get on a city dept. and went through the academy that I realized, "Holy crap, I could have got seriously killed playing around with fire, not knowing what I was doing". For home owners wanting to live out in the middle of nowhere, you get what you pay for depending on a volunteer dept.. Having all the right toys are essential, knowing what to do with them is another thing.

Some departments have different policys about flammables and hazmat. With Lp if the tank is already venting the best thing to do is a cool down from a safe distance to help prevent it from going like a grenade into somones head. Most of the time if they are already venting they won't blow but there is always a chance they could even after venting. It's very possible they were scared/worried of it or had a policy that would not allow them in that area.

    People are such armchair firefighters. The fact that they even attempted an interior attack on a building this well involved even before arrival was something. It was doomed from the start and you can hear the radio order to go all-defensive. You could see how extensively the fire had spread from the smoke under the eaves - the visible fire was just the tip of the iceberg. The house was totaled even before the first truck rolled in. They did their best under terrible circumstances... lint fires are explosive and will blowtorch the interior right from second one.
    The moral of the story isn't "get better firefighters in Uxbridge" it's "check your goddamned dryer vent every so often." This is the result when you don't.

They are an embarrassment to the fire service. Get a line in the door to the interior and a line around back to knock down the exterior fire. Let the tank vent as it is designed to do.
