The speed with which the Dutch get into action, water onto the fire right away, and using the hose reel, not spending 5 minutes pulling a hindered yards of hose off the truck while the fire gets bigger! US firefighters take note, a considerable fire stopped with just hose reels. Of course not having a wood and tarpaper house on fire, like so many US houses, helps!.

@@kieranjohnburke You can't even judge that! Just because no one can get in the front door doesn't mean they can't get in from the back of the house! Firefighters ran there too, you 🤡
There is something to be said for the kind of fire-containting construction this building has. I guarantee you that in 99 per cent of similar fires in North America, that whole building goes up and probably the one next door in the time it took the fire department to arrive. Instead, one floor, one room? Maybe the attic and part of the roof? From a fire that intense and that long? That's some impressive fire engineering, folks.
Yep, Americans and Canadians get very, very touchy when you say that... But it's true. If a company were to build houses here in that way, where the fabric of the whole building could go up like tinder and spread to the next, they would never get signed off.
You take in a lot of fires in North America? I've personally seen a fire in a row home like this, a middle unit at that with far more fire involvement, and it was contained to the original unit with minor, and I mean very minor, smoke in the two neighboring units. So no, the whole block wouldn't go down and there's likely numerous videos out there that could show it.
+XMarvinTheCowX I KNOW it was sarcasm my friend. I'm sorry, but when someone calls you stupid, it's another form of saying that was some funny shit. I guess it's a DMV thing. (DC, Maryland, Virginia) Hopefully we're still cool!!!! I was just calling you a funny guy!!!
I an a retired US firefighter. There would be many firefighters still alive if our apartments were built like this. It's just that simple. Light weight construction. I cringe when I hear that term. Might as well say "held up with glue".
As long as the fire does not reach the roof there is virtually no real danger of any collapse in normal brick built homes with reinforced concrete celings. I have never seen a normal house collapse here in Germany because of a fire. Only the roof is generally made of wood construction. But wood framed houses become popular overhere too due to lower costs to build them.
When you compare this to the tons of American fires I have seen so far, these guys kick ass! They had barely arrived and were already fighting the fire. No hanging around like their US counterparts, great job!! :)
all i could keep thinking is how sad that poor family must be and that it's even worse how it seems to be just before Christmas judging by the decorations on other houses.
This brings back memories. When I lived overseas the apartment across from me 2nd story had a family with a set of twins.Mum put them to bed for lunchtime nap and closed the door then she sat in the kitchen for coffee and a cigarette. The little boys (20 months old)took one of her lighter and set teddy bears on fire. I called the firefighters and they were saved through the window then the fire really erupted.The bedroom was totally destroyed and the room next to it.Mum only noticed when she heard fire fighters banging on her door.🤷♀️🙏🏻🙂it was a miracle they survived.
Good Lord! Did I just see 7-8 firefighters on each rig? In most US departments we're lucky to have 4. That, plus the use of small diameter hard lines rather than 1 3/4 inch double jacketed hose that must be stretched dry before charging, is why they had water on it so fast. Due to differences in building construction and staffing levels, that wouldn't work in the U.S.
So, been ouit of firefighting since deluge concept in the 1980's (went to 4" feeder hose back then). What is the disadvantage of hose reel with pressurized lines like they use here? Is it higher pressure to get the volume thru the hose. There is no waiting and arranging hose so it won't kink.. and you can deploy some, and then some more later. I missed the reeled utility hose line we have back then for car fires, etc.
Howerd C.: Disadvantage is the weight ... its heavy. Modern FE's mostly carry only 1 nowadays, if any, more and more are switching to 2" so called O-Bundles: Hose folded and packed in an easy to catch 'container'. Kan be unfolded by just walking away with it or filling it with water. For the heavy stuff they use 3", for transport 4" or 6" for long distance (eg the (Dutch!) Hytrans system used by FDNY
These houses must have some really good fire suppression in place. When you see fires in a house, the time it took the fire brigade to come, the downstairs would have been on fire, roof and probably the neighbors house/roof would have caught on fire. The fact that it was only 1 room and probably roof is amazing.
a well vented fire is the easiest to put out so if it looks like they kick ass quick is because when u can see it it means u know where it is more than when u have to go and look for it in heavy smoke and heat conditions
This video nicely shows the huge difference between the fire resistance of a building built mainly with bricks and those constructed from wood. Yanks please take notice.
+hawkeye0248 Us Yank firefighters do take notice, in a big way. The lumber companies have too much money and power, to many people in their pockets. They don't give a damn how many firefighters get killed, or what a beating we take trying to save the shit buildings that are built by shitty builders. I just retired after 29 years paid service and God knows how many apartment fires. I made it. And I say a prayer for my brothers and sisters, all over the world, every day.
+Virgil Grissom Yeah, too arrogant to learn from others. You had to get a German space scientist to come and show you how to build the rocket (Saturn 5) who could take you to the moon. Oh, and by the way, what are you going to do once you have reached (maybe landed) Mars? Do you not think it would be a far better idea to spend space money on the development of techniques on how to spot incoming meteors/asteroids to prevent a cataclysmic explosion similar to what happened a few days ago on Jupiter?
hawkeye0248 You are allowed to be arrogant when you're number 1. Von braun wasn't indispensible, we still would have reached the moon without him. In fact we had project vanguard before Saturn. Let's not forget reaching and returning from another planet isn't all about the launch vehicle. Every dollar invested in NASA returns $14 to the economy so it is worth it. Going to mars will improve life on earth in terms of advancements in science and technology. Developing a colony there will also ensure the survival of our species. We already fund organizations like spaceguard and systems like sentry to discover and monitor astroids.
Dutch houses look so similar to our houses in uk. I almost thought it was in uk even the firefighters look almost identical. Did the guy filming this manage to finish his can of monster? 🤣🤣
I only realised because of the comments that it wasn't UK . I even thought if the microphone was a bit better i would probably be able to work out his accent !
I don't think thats funny do you know how much damage a fire like this causes you can live in that house for a while think about the smoke damage and water damage not only in the fire room but also downstairs and the smell sits in everything your clothing and bed and you never get that out so these people have a major lot of damage.
I lived in the house next door. It was scary I saw the fire and went out of the house with my photographs and prized possessions in a suitcase. I was told I couldn't go back into my house just in case it spread. It didn't but I wasn't allowed my stuff back till a few months later. I moved away to the other side of town. Glad no one was hurt. xX
Thats BS. Watch towards the end. The smoke turns dark again out front and a big loom up shows in the rear indicating the rear was apparently well off at that point yet these guys are playing with glorified garden hoses and no crew, despite all those guys, had made entry. Clown show.
Hey Rich, You may be right. Are you a Fireman?? I'm not, so my comment was just based on what I observed. I have utmost respect for these men though. Rough job and risking their lives. Some are volunteer!! I've seen some firemen that seemed clueless and when I asked questions I found out that I was the one that was clueless? LOL Have a good nite Man!!

roversnolan1 In many towns and cities, especially older one from the time before the Civil War period, and even in the time of the Revolutionary War period, like Boston proper, near Bunker Hill, The Old North Curch, many of the streets are cobblestone, as here in Glenwood, Iowa, USA, our streets where cobble stoned and still are in many parts, when it was done in 1864. Interesting subject Thank you for the info roversnolan1! :o)
+Larry R Wendell Jr the majority of roads in my town are cobblestones. Many have been covered in tarmac but on the main shopping street they decided to reinstate the cobbles. You can even see the old pre WW1 tramlines from when the area was very prosperous through cotton mills and stone supply from the surrounding hills.
+roversnolan1 it is believed that flagstones from the surrounding area were used in the construction of the Eiffel tower and London's Trafalgar square.
Impressive. I watched many firefighting videos from usa. They typiacally need 2 minutes from arriving until extinguishing. These guys needed just 40 seconds. Great job.
Ste Uk The sound is just the blazing fire i think. Like putting too much wood in a stove. But there was incredibly much fuel in that room indeed. I don’t think a gas line could have supplied that for that long. Must have been a bed or a couch.
Here in Canada and the u.s, that fire would've taken down the whole house plus the houses on each side it. Wish they would learn from European construction!!!
Not making shit up, those brick buildings hardly let the flames escape. I've even got a friend whose been a firefighter for over 10 years who agreed. Compare the time of this fire to other fires from buildings made of wood and tell it's the same!!
I'm not talking about wood frame structures. I'm talking about this fire in this type of construction. This exact fire would not burn down the whole block in Canada or the US.
Bij een vrijwilligers korps,zoals Zevenbergen is,kan het al 3 minuten duren voordat de tankautospuit überhaupt uit kan rukken.En dan heb je nog de aanrijtijd.

What country is this? I don't see any firefighter earring air tanks while fighting the fire. They are breathing in all that falling smoke while putting water on the fire
Look harder. Those entering the house have either badly deformed backs or have air tanks.The crew from the second appliance are wearing them also but being black they are difficult to see.
No, I used to live here and it’s a small place and they don’t got a fire department, that’s means that when there’s a fire like this there need to come vehicles from another fire department
Fireworks should never be kept in a house, under lock and key outdoors in a dry safe area at least 5 metres from the nearest part of the house. This has to be everyones worst nightmare. Fortunately that house looks like in could be restored.
that is absolutely heart stopping.imagine if we ever get trapped in a house or building fire that is utterly terrifying! the houses look british but they sound possibly scandavian or even east european.enormous waste and destruction.poor family!
I have to agree with other comments about seeing U.S.firefighters slow actions once on scene .Seen a lot of videos and their response is nothing like this crew .
LOOKS good tossing water from the outside... but looks can deceive... @ 7:31 at the roof/chimney... look at all that black smoke pouring out the rear... these dudes are pushing the fire through the building... not good
It's called a knock down to make an internal attack more easy and don't know if you noticed, but they did do a quick scan at arrival, they knew their backup engine was close behind them, they performed the knock down in 47 seconds after arrival and gained entry and went to an internal attack within 2 minutes. As you also noticed the room was already fully involved wayy before arrival of the first due engine (as stated probably after an explosion) so it's most likely that the fire already spread to next rooms and the attic.. so don't go whining about pushing the fire to the back..
yeah... and @ 7:31 the guy is STILL performing his "knock down" while we still see BLACK smoke pouring out the back... how bout shutting down that line until you get a handle on the black smoke situation in the rear... all he's doing at that point is pouring water into smoke, creating STEAM... tell me that creating STEAM makes an interior attack "more easy"... or better yet, how bout upon arrival, we make entry from the REAR and push the fire/smoke/hot gases OUT THE FRONT of the building... also, you don't know if the fire spread to the next rooms... I suppose they assumed the place was unoccupied to right????... when you see that much fire in the front, you don't assume the other rooms are involved... ATTEMPT to attack the fire from the rear …(IF conditions allow)
I know the window look Bigger than we have in UK BUT I was certain this was an Council house in UK somewhere. BRICKS AND MORTAR Boy's Bricks and Mortar.
I thought this was the UK.. English being the second language somewhat sealed the thought until I heard the two tone siren of the fire engine and realised otherwise.
To put out a house fire 1. Grab a camera and start filming 2.let someone call 999/911 and carry on filming 3. The fire is put out you stop recording 4. Upload it to TH-cam
+Mike Seatherton agreed, you also failed to mention walk up and down on the pavement with hands on hips and back to the fire instead of beg, borrow or steal a garden hose and do what the firemen did on arrival, play water in from street level and do something positive. Not so sure about stop recording, the rear room still seemed to be a goer given the very obvious separate black plume of smoke still visible at the end emanating from the rear
The difference between European firefighters and American. throwing water within THREE minutes of arrival versus discussing attack and command for 20 minutes in America.
For the one's saying a great job are the ones that have no clue. Exterior attack is pushing that fire through that place. Look at towards the end of this clip and you can see the black smoke and heat pushing from the back side that wasn't there before they started. Now in the US this would be an interior attack which takes a couple min to get ready but it's less damage and would've kept that to a room and content fire instead of pushing it throughout 🤦
There's no need to enter as there's no inside so why risk fire fighters lives when it can be fought from the outside side European buildings aren't built like American ones.
fiona swann I would have to agree .... Trust me the firefighting here was shockingly bad . Pushing the fire from pavement is ok 👌 But pumping 100 gallons a minute through the window did absolutely no good whatsoever after the initial knockdown , all they did was flood the ground floor .
At first glance I could've swore this was here in the UK, that street just has such a British feel to it...
exactly the same here lol.
@@user-cb3oj9pu5o I thought the same.

I'm not talking about wood frame structures. I'm talking about this fire in this type of construction. This exact fire would not burn down the whole block in Canada or the US.
grey man,where do you volunteer in Canada?Or are you full time??

Picked you out a mile away.Another You Tube FF wannabee.You could have said Camrose Alberta,Kelowna BC,Sudbury ON,anything but BS.
Bij een vrijwilligers korps,zoals Zevenbergen is,kan het al 3 minuten duren voordat de tankautospuit überhaupt uit kan rukken.En dan heb je nog de aanrijtijd.
N o u en? Heel normaal toch ?
Precies. Die man die dit filmt was ook commentaar aan het geven op m’n opa die loopt voor bij het huis om de watervoorziening aan te wijzen, hij was zelf brandweerman in Oosterhout.
@@112breda2 Oookay..En iedereen die zich zo druk maakt om "spullen van vroeger" zou ik toch nu willen zeggen van:schaf (gekoppelde) rookmelders aan en onderhoud deze ook.

Did the people get out?
What country is this? I don't see any firefighter earring air tanks while fighting the fire. They are breathing in all that falling smoke while putting water on the fire
Robert Gildea In the Netherlands
Look harder. Those entering the house have either badly deformed backs or have air tanks.The crew from the second appliance are wearing them also but being black they are difficult to see.
Waarom zou het zo fikken? Veel houtwerk?
Whee's the Fire Brigade? Stuck in traffic cos half the roads are cycle lanes now I suppose.
No, I used to live here and it’s a small place and they don’t got a fire department, that’s means that when there’s a fire like this there need to come vehicles from another fire department
Oh my that sounds horrible hopefully everyone was safe
Heb me wel wel behoorlijk geïrriteerd aan je commentaar......
This is the fireservice of Moerdijk, the Netherlands.
Fireworks should never be kept in a house, under lock and key outdoors in a dry safe area at least 5 metres from the nearest part of the house.
This has to be everyones worst nightmare. Fortunately that house looks like in could be restored.
that is absolutely heart stopping.imagine if we ever get trapped in a house or building fire that is utterly terrifying! the houses look british but they sound possibly scandavian or even east european.enormous waste and destruction.poor family!
The Video is from Moerdijk in the Nederlands
Where is this? Can't figure out the language? thanks
Netherlands
I have to agree with other comments about seeing U.S.firefighters slow actions once on scene .Seen a lot of videos and their response is nothing like this crew .
LOOKS good tossing water from the outside... but looks can deceive... @ 7:31 at the roof/chimney... look at all that black smoke pouring out the rear... these dudes are pushing the fire through the building... not good
It's called a knock down to make an internal attack more easy and don't know if you noticed, but they did do a quick scan at arrival, they knew their backup engine was close behind them, they performed the knock down in 47 seconds after arrival and gained entry and went to an internal attack within 2 minutes. As you also noticed the room was already fully involved wayy before arrival of the first due engine (as stated probably after an explosion) so it's most likely that the fire already spread to next rooms and the attic.. so don't go whining about pushing the fire to the back..
yeah... and @ 7:31 the guy is STILL performing his "knock down" while we still see BLACK smoke pouring out the back... how bout shutting down that line until you get a handle on the black smoke situation in the rear... all he's doing at that point is pouring water into smoke, creating STEAM... tell me that creating STEAM makes an interior attack "more easy"... or better yet, how bout upon arrival, we make entry from the REAR and push the fire/smoke/hot gases OUT THE FRONT of the building... also, you don't know if the fire spread to the next rooms... I suppose they assumed the place was unoccupied to right????... when you see that much fire in the front, you don't assume the other rooms are involved... ATTEMPT to attack the fire from the rear …(IF conditions allow)
@@markdejong2309 At what point do you think they got an interior hose line operating up on the second floor?
Good to hear proper sirens at 6:20. Those are real fire engine sirens.
These sirens are ao ugly😂
@@kasska6717 two tones are lovely. The UsA ones aren’t so nice
@@Landie_Man They're sirens. If they get attention why does it matter?
I would strongly advise you to alter the title of the video to include the location.
What are they saying
Where in the Netherlands is this?
Langeweg ringweg.
@@112breda2dankjewel!
I know the window look Bigger than we have in UK BUT I was certain this was an Council house in UK somewhere. BRICKS AND MORTAR Boy's Bricks and Mortar.
Als filmert nou even de camera had laten liggen en een tuinslang had gepakt ipv lopen zeiken hoelang de brandweer er over doet om te komen....
I thought this was the UK.. English being the second language somewhat sealed the thought until I heard the two tone siren of the fire engine and realised otherwise.
I thought this would be in England by the houses
Anyone notice someone looking out the curtain...second window....not fire window....2nd floor...was it a fireman?
+Adam Baker At what minute / second?
+Adam Baker Oh yeah it's a firefighter. They entered that house a minute earlier in the video
The date of fire in description is incorrect. It says December 2014.
Should be 2013.
Took there time coming ??
The monster energy drink 😂0:22
Did anyone die?
You can hear that fire breathing.
Fire bridge to land lord: can I have cup of tea please?
North America really need to update building designs for better protection like this!!!
Master Bedroom fire. Bound to be someone falling asleep with a lit tab in hand, probably wrecked on drugs and booze.
Where was this? country
Niko Bellic LS the Netherlands : )
Why doesn’t anyone do something like knock the doors next door to warn the people what’s happening.
Is this holland? Cus dam it looks exactly like the UK even the street sign on the streetlight looks like one from the UK lol
copy + paste :D
My anus also looks It is from the UK, It only shits on the left side
In welke stad is dit?
Langeweg NB
That actually looks like in my dream
To put out a house fire
1. Grab a camera and start filming
2.let someone call 999/911 and carry on filming
3. The fire is put out you stop recording
4. Upload it to TH-cam
+Mike Seatherton agreed, you also failed to mention walk up and down on the pavement with hands on hips and back to the fire instead of beg, borrow or steal a garden hose and do what the firemen did on arrival, play water in from street level and do something positive. Not so sure about stop recording, the rear room still seemed to be a goer given the very obvious separate black plume of smoke still visible at the end emanating from the rear
+Mike Seatherton 5. Start complaining about the quality of the fire crew
Mike Seatherton in the Netherlands it isnt 911, it it 112
What country is this in I in UK
In the Netherlands
Did someone ring the fire brigade??
I'm a firefighter in the UK and they should off been told to get out as soon as the explosion happened
+Digimutant Well mrs bum he is putting his life at risk to help people trapped in these sorts of dilemas. Would you do that?
The difference between European firefighters and American. throwing water within THREE minutes of arrival versus discussing attack and command for 20 minutes in America.
Burnt fiercely that, was it lamps from a cannabis factory??
There was no one inside, they were on vacation
Apparently (i'm not sure) there were fireworks on that room and somehow, something exploded. I don't know how.
+Everything else See how far the window glass is blown into the street? Something did blow up, in a big way!
+Everything else oh what a lovely way to come home after a holiday
Everything else
@@Everythingelse1 You mean they were on HOLIDAY!! ;)
hot fire was there any one inside
When do the fire brigade appear?
Maybe coming Wednesday
Dutch?
Has nobody got a garden hose?
this is what my house looked like when i had a fire xD
Oh dear.
If this had been in America they still wouldnt have had water on it.
straight on the roof with a chainsaw?
@@JoeSmith-zv4ic Only the one?
@@DasArab it this happend in the usa the whole house would be up in flames
Just what I was thinking
@@ashleyoconnor6832 plus in the USA there trucks dont carry water there depending on a hydrant for water it takes to long to set up
is that your house
There was a house fire in my local village
Which language is the man speaking?
Dutch
Since "New Kids" every fire like this is caused by Barrie Butsers's weed.
For the one's saying a great job are the ones that have no clue. Exterior attack is pushing that fire through that place. Look at towards the end of this clip and you can see the black smoke and heat pushing from the back side that wasn't there before they started. Now in the US this would be an interior attack which takes a couple min to get ready but it's less damage and would've kept that to a room and content fire instead of pushing it throughout 🤦
There's no need to enter as there's no inside so why risk fire fighters lives when it can be fought from the outside side European buildings aren't built like American ones.
Dutch firefighters are highly professional, I doubt that they need your advice.
The Ground floor is now a Swimming pool 🤷🏼♂️
fiona swann I would have to agree .... Trust me the firefighting here was shockingly bad . Pushing the fire from pavement is ok 👌 But pumping 100 gallons a minute through the window did absolutely no good whatsoever after the initial knockdown , all they did was flood the ground floor .
