My department has been using this video for the last 5 years to show everyone "What Not To Do". Don't send 10 guys into a house this small. Same job can be done by 4 max. Don't advance past fire on a stairwell. That's your escape route. If you're a CHIEF, you don't have any business being inside unless there's literally nobody else and you have a mayday or something of the sort. If that Chief was doing his job correctly he'd be outside coordinating, and definitely wouldn't have let 10 freaking guys go stand in a line inside that house doing nothing.
That wasent the chief, it was the assistant chief. They are more then welcome to assume interior division. Also. Not all white hats are chiefs. You should know this if your barn burning volly dep acually watched this video like you said you did. Just a bunch of BS. You’ve never trained on this vid lol. Your lack of knowledge is screaming
I went on a medical once where the patient was unresponsive. We pushed furniture out of the way in order to get to the patient and potentially start CPR, etc. and to give the medics access for an IV or IO route. We scooped the guy and were packaging him in the ambulance when the woman comes out complaining about how we need to put her couch back. Crazy.
@@rhoonah5849 Wow, that’s crazy. I actually have a question, how hard is it to become a medic? I’ve always been interested in med, fire, and police etc.
@@Kurmann_New If you want to become a medic you must first become an EMT. I'd get on with either a local fire department or a local private EMS company and run some calls that way. Some paramedic programs require you to have run a certain number of calls or been a basic for some period of time. Then find a paramedic program at a local community college or private training company. How hard is it? Well, it isn't easy. I had some people fail the EMT course in my class and then some passed but failed the national NREMT test. I'm not a paramedic but know quite a few. I think that if you pay attention in class, practice, study a LOT and take it serious then you'll be fine. It is a lot of information and takes a serious commitment.
It's sad to say but I almost wish 19 years ago they had body cam just like today, imagine the amazing yet horrible angles we would have seen of the world trade center attacks. It would be hard to watch, but one of the most educational videos to show during training. Frontline footage of the worst possible situation imaginable by a fire fighter
I always thought the same with modern camera phones and social media. My morbid curiousity wonders what would have been captured by the people in those buildings but I imagine a lot of it would be to sad and harrowing to want to see anyway.
Search up 9-11 firefighter documentary. It sounds crazy but there was actually 2 guys filming a documentary about the FDNY for months so they were filing on 9-11. One of the cameramen even went inside the building to film and got some incredible footage that not a lot of people have seen. The entire documentary is free here on TH-cam
I go to 1 fire a year but took Principles of Modern Fire Attack so I’m qualified to judge the decisions of an entirely different department based off of a 10 minute video.
The only kind of person that ignores criticism outright is the kind of person who doesn't give a shit about doing a better job. I guess we know what kind of person you are, Matt.
Wondering why they moved in so far that the fire was still behind them. Never should let fire get behind you. Other than that I’m glad the brother lived. Good initial attack.
Christian Sams and what appeared to be an 1 1/2” at that. Shouldn’t have been in so deep, semi fog to get steam going to help, and a 2nd Line should have been brought in to back them up. The other problem I see is there were so many ff’s in that stairway/hallway, if anyone needed to back out, it would have been a cf.
Louis McCluer yeah, I agree. But it happened so now I hope they use this as a training experience. Luckily that firefighter is ok, and didn’t face serious injuries.
Christian Sams man I couldn’t agree more, and I’m not sitting here just trying to armchair quarterback! I was literally screaming to back down until you have a better handle on it!! They literally had fire coming up there ass and that is not good. It’s not backing down to make sensible decisions. I’m not sure the nozzleman knew of the situation...but damn, someone should have told the. to back down!! I pray they are all ok.
speculizer1971 I totally agree, especially with a chief in there. I don’t want to arm chair quarter back either but from what I saw, they definitely could of backed out and re grouped. But no one died and they have video to make this a training experience.
It's a great video to show people what it is truly like in a dwelling fire, glad the brothers were able to save the downed firefighter who feel thru the floor in this vid.
Wish they were all that well vented and clear. Have had a lot more where it was nothing more than a glow buried behind a whole lot of smoke than ones where the visibility started good and stayed that way after the nozzle opened up...
@@alexkitner5356 I hear u bro, this was vented well & as we both know it helps not just with visibility but temps inside. It's amazing to see how much has changed with educating firefighters on the entire science of everything from reading smk conditions water hydraulics & venting proper areas at the right time.....makes me feel old for saying that but I started in 89, in a widely diverse county.....Baltimore co, MD.

It sounds like u have seen ur fair share of shit as well, it sucks at times but we still love it, for the most part, lol. Stay safe my friend.

These are some tough a$$ sob's. A lot of people think that this kinda stuff is easy but a video like this says otherwise. This is downright scary and it takes some real wit, balls, and bravery.

Nice job, good footage, but I just dont like too many guys on the stairs when on the nozzle. They are blocking my escape route and really aren't accomplishing anything besides bumping bottles and cluttering up shit.
Communication. That’s the key. Tell em to back up a bit, give some slack on the line, etc. You’re gonna want them there though bud. You’re the nozzleman, they’re backing you up.
Brian 3 I lost my house to a fire when I was I think 6 years old. And i was so sad because I lost all my toys and stuffed animals. But you get through it
Insurance. Get it. Lives are more important. All firefighters should fight fire aggressively, having provided for SAFETY first. But i too want to know how they're doing because those screams sounded brutal. Wish they would have avoided that because it doesn't seem like there was anyone home so I'm not sure why they did a direct attack.
Risk of Fire, Tornadoes, Floods, etc is why I store backups of my photos, videos, documents, login/account info, and BITCOIN KEYS in a separate place. The only thing I'd truly be concerned about taking with me would be my cat. Sure it can take a year to get back things like health cards, Passports, Birth certificates, etc. But it's very much possible. As for the cat nothing stops me from getting one of those door tags that tell the firefighter there is a cat in the place. A house/apt fire would only result in a new place, new gaming rig, new cameras, new furniture and new clothes. If I had the extra money I would simply build my own home out of concrete, masonry, metal studs, and other non combustible stuff. Than maybe I would not need to keep alert as much when it comes for fires and tornadoes at least.
Don't get me wrong, you guys did fuckin great that was fast and efficient and I'm proud to call you brothers, but damn how many of you does it take to stand in a hallway while one of you works the nozzle 😂
I agree, too many ff’s. If they needed to back out, which they should have once it extended above and behind them, then it would have been a cf. Plus the added weight on a stairway with support structure heavily involved from above. Looked like an 1 1/2” they had, and maybe a semi-fog to produce more steam might have helped.
Louis McCluer more steam..right where they're working? Great idea if u like your firemen bright red with steam burns..been there and learned from experience..most academies teach no steam where personal or victims might be
MsFiregal8 hmmm over 30 years in fire dept experience, I never received any steam burns, nor any FF’s I ever worked with. Although I surmise it’s hard to receive a steam burn if your wearing proper PPE. Full turnout, SCBA, nomex hood, gloves. Any victim that would be in such an environment would either have contact or radiated heat burns, likely either unconscious or dead. Most steam is consumed by radiation cooling that is designed to cool the fire, as well as cut down oxygen to the fire.
It's pretty surreal to see little collectible cars and kids jackets hanging in the hallway of a very cozy looking house, soon to be completely destroyed.
I read a number of comments saying that this is crazy to go into a burning building or they would be scared, everyone has fear in them but use it to your advantage & try hard to not let it control you.
Sorry to hear he fell through the floor, but they let the fire get behind them, and the nozzle operator didn't seem as if he knew what he was doing. Glad everyone is ok.
They needed 2 lines in that attack one for the front and since they went so far in the fire with fire behind them they need a line for the back but I got to say that was some good ventilation
Damn that’s crazy and mad respect for these guys! I don’t know much about firefighting just enjoy watching these videos, seems surreal the entire section of the house is engulfed yet the adjacent foyer/living room there’s only some smoke. Hope the homeowners were able to salvage what was left maybe just rebuild the part of the house that was involved. Looks like a nice house too
This is a hell of an aggressive fire 🔥 jeeze!!! So sad these people lost their home!! Looks like they had some vintage stuff😑😔 prayers to the home owner and the fire fighters
7:23 that scream is so sad cause that is the scream of the firefighter being burnt alive. This is truly sad and disturbing. Condolences out to that fire department, the firefighters friends and family. That firefighter is hopefully alive and if he is alive then hopefully he recovers/recovered good. RIP if he did die though. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
He is ok he survived I'm a volunteer firefighter and when I say all of us firefighters have fear every time we enter a burning structure I mean that if any firefighter tells you he's not scared he either stupid or to foolish to know any better and if he really isn't scared then he needs to quit the job because he is then a danger to him self and his brothers
I really liked the fact that the camera man was on the pipe. It gives a good perspective on the collaboration between engine and truck company operations. Also, not trying to start arguments here but what are your thoughts on smooth bore vs combination? Or might it depend on the operation?
Smoothbore will generally offer a higher GPM at a lower nozzle pressure with less nozzle reaction. I generally prefer a smoothbore, but we put out a lot of fire at work using fog nozzles. With that volume of fire and no apparent life hazards I may have opted for the fog nozzle for steam conversion and maybe a smoothbore on the second line to access deep seated fire. Honestly, it’s probably six one way half a dozen the other. GPM/BTU’s and get water on the seat quickly, all this super-squirrel strategizing is just nonsense.
I dont understand what happened. he fell through a floor? Which floor? In the video you just see him lying in the hallway suddenly. Surely he wasn't upstairs??
Just my two cents as a fireman: 1) a fog or cone nozzle pattern is our friend in this scenario...sorry NIST! 2) You don't need all those members bottlenecking the staircase and egress. More bodies in an area is usually a hindrance not a help. 3) Staircases can be dangerous even when things go smoothly. If there's already heavy fire at the top of the staircase, anticipate the staircase and floor above failing and be very cautious when advancing.
Yea well they have Reasons why they've decided to have multiple firefighters upstairs. And if you got a problem with that then go complain to the Fire Department who is responsible for this video.
People can critique all they want, what real firefighters realize is that every fire is different every building is different and you have to take a different tactical approach to each fire you fight. Good job to those who rescued the down fire fighter in this video
Horrible situation, I had one of my guys being a bit too aggressive and went somewhere he knew he shouldn't have been. Staircase collapsed with him. Minor injuries thankfully but it can happen when you're not paying attention to whats going on around you. I did notice on the original attack that nozzle pattern was terrible! When the Lt. says power cone turn it to a power cone!
100% correct. when teh Lt. tells ya someting like that, there is a damn good reason for it. im not a firefighter but my question is, does power cone allow for a finer mist to cause a steam effect to smother flames or is it for more water coverage over a larger area than a stream?
Khyra Ares pretty much. When he says power come he's saying to open the nozzle more for a wider pattern with the fog nozzles we have now the water is more of a mist effect when he opens it more. Personally I would rather have a smooth bore nozzle in this situation and fought this fire from below the stairs with a solid stream putting out more water
Darrin Hogeland A structure with no.occupants.Why neven go in? Why not set a defensive attack.Risk V S reward.The structure is a loss not worth the risk of injuries or LODD.
Centrallax21 I believe it was known that there were no occupants.Why even risk a interior attack? Makes no sense.Also looks like the fire vented the roof itself.Just as I mentioned defensive attack and pound it with hose lines.Everyone goes home.
My company runs Scott I joined in January of 2019 we were talking about going to MSA. We had 2 good working fires that year. In 2020 we had 13 when we started the process of buying new Scott’s...
They're never going in alone At least 2 guys go inside,while the one in the back keeps his hand on the front guys shoulder,and they move accordingly. Houses aren't typically so big that you get lost in them,unless you have very shit spatial awareness and forget where you've come from,getting lost shouldn't be a problem.
I'm not a firefighter. I have no idea what I'm talking about. But it seems like there were way too many firefighters in the hallway and it seems very reckless that they pushed in so far. What am I missing?
Gotta flow water to put the fire out...and I'm not a TH-cam fire chief but that was a great video of what it's actually like in a fire...again keep the nozzle open and knock the piss out of it.
Usually one of the first things to do is turn the Gas Electric off to a house fire? I see the lights are still on inside. I would hate to be doing the walk through after the fire is out during the investigation and rub against a Drier outlet wires or something 240V 30 Amps.
That’s the first in trucks job. At least in my department, our s.o.p.’s state first in engine drops a line and the first in truck does primary search an cuts gas and electric
Any explanation on the use of the focused water spray in such a close-quarter firefighting? Wouldn't a broader spray be much more effective in this situation?
MarcelPichault because you'd end up steam burned like a MFer.....a water droplet expands into 1700 droplets of steam. We only use solid stream nozzles (or straight stream for the people that use a combination nozzle for whatever reason). Plus more penetration with solid steam.
MarcelPichault exactly it's all about humidity you really wanted to rain inside that building and if you do use a straight stream you specifically need to hit objects to get a splash effect going I mean you can't actually hit fire things are not on fire fires on things... P.s but there is a reason they don't do it.
It appeared to me that there was a Battalion Chief in that hallway. Put two men on that line, and send the rest for an outside attack. The ideal inside attack team consists of two firefighters and one officer. Just my opinion, but the lead with the nozzle would've had better luck with a power-cone and short to medium bursts. That comes with good training. As far as the Mayday that was initiated, my question is why didn't I hear transmissions between Incident Command and the commanding officer inside. For those of you that have been in situations like this, you understand my criticism. It's not that I'm taking anything away from the work that they did, it's just details. In the end, HOPEFULLY they all went home safely, and with limited damage done.
They must do a hell of a lot of weight training in order to be able to still move around like that carrying all that gear and their massive set of balls.....
So as a soon to be firefighter can someone explain what happened to the firefighter that went down? I’m just trying to understand some things ion know yet
If they’re inside that house and they’re not saving known occupants, they’re completely nuts risking human lives to save property. We don’t go into burning buildings here in Canada unless we know we can save a life, otherwise we take a defensive position and let the fire self mitigate.
Cy fair fire department is protect lives and property. Not just lives. They still saved some of the house instead of burning it down. They took the risk.
SOUND. THE. FLOOR. I've yet to find a single incident where FFs sounded the floor properly, continued to sound the floor if they stopped in 1 place, and still fell through the floor.
this was wrong from arrival, and it started with the incident command on the radio, not wrong with entering the front door, but 3 lines should have been pulled, fire thru the roof, fire thru the window, the 5 guys on the landing could have been working the fire from outside, fighting fire directly above your head with solid bore on the nozzle, leads to debris falling on your head, a slight fan on the nozzle will help to reduce heat, but you have to spend some time soaking the area, they should have stayed at the landing and drowned what was in front of them instead of advancing, the man on the hose would hit it, then shut the nozzle down, i would have stood there and soaked it for a few minutes not seconds, just because you hit and see no flames does not mean it is out, the heat will re ignite the room, 2,5 inch lines thru the windows and roof would have knocked that down faster, and if the interior crew had of stayed on the landing with protection over there head they would avoid thermal burns from water coming thru the roof and windows, i did see a whit helmet in there, he was in a position to go from the stairs to the outside of the home and back to direct interior and exterior attack, it was good to hear the saws going with ventilation, i hope they were working the solid part of the roof that still had structure. If you focus too much on interior attack when you can hit the fire thru a window or a hole in the roof, you are not looking at the big picture, i teach surround and drown, then advance, and i use this video to show how things can go wrong if you advance too fast, every structure fire is different and has different conditions, and i am not disrespecting this department in any way, some people made comments on getting in there and looking for victims, well there are 2 sides to that idea, in many cases the home owner is the one who calls in the fire and the dispatcher will ask if everyone is out of the house, so we usually know before we leave the station, but at times a resident may risk running in to get a pet or important item, anyone who is at the home outside i will ask a second time, is there anyone inside?? If there was, look at the conditions of the upstairs, without a BA and ppe, no one could survive that for more than a few minutes, t, h
the hero mentality is one thing, but doing your duty and surviving to fight another day is another, i was in a similar fire like this in a split level home a few years ago, similar conditions, part of the structure was intact, we soaked it for 5 minutes before advanced, house was burnt to the raftors but we got it out before venting the roof, we never shut the nozzle down, with this much heat you have to drown it with water, if anything i think this is the best video on you tube for firefighters, and no disrespect for this crew, different tactics and more water could have changed the outcome...........and lots more water outside.........cheers, love and respect for all of us who wake up to the tones and respond
May I Ask if you’re actually a firefighter, and if so are you an interior firefighter? You know why you don’t make attacks from outside and inside at the same time is to avoid steaming the interior company working also that’s why you don’t use a fog stream to fight heavy fire loads inside as it will create steam and burn you.
@@stuartstolarz6365 yes i am a fire fighter, i am the first interior captain on my crew for more than 12 years, yes i agree with your point, if you have more than one stream going in the structure, as in front windows or roof, the risk of thermal burns to the interior crew is a real thing, i hear the radio communication before the crew arrived, yes i agree with deploying a line interior, but by the time they were inside and had a charged line they may have been more effective with 2, 2.5 inch lines thru the windows with volume of water to reduce heat and fire load, the interior crew on the landing was in a good spot to work the roof without advancing, the white helmet that was there, should have moved in and out to observe the condition of the structure inside and out before letting the interior crew to advance beyond a safe place to operate, why go into the inferno when you can be more effective standing on the sidewalk pushing high volume of water into a vented roof and windows, this video shows where things can go wrong, better communication by the chief or deputy could have kept this crew out of the hot zone
I'm French and I don't really understand what the guys said and what happened with the Firefighter.. Can someone explain me with some easy words please ? Thank you in advance..

As for the cat nothing stops me from getting one of those door tags that tell the firefighter there is a cat in the place. A house/apt fire would only result in a new place, new gaming rig, new cameras, new furniture and new clothes. If I had the extra money I would simply build my own home out of concrete, masonry, metal studs, and other non combustible stuff. Than maybe I would not need to keep alert as much when it comes for fires and tornadoes at least.
Mike Rurak cats are life
Awesome video! They walked right into the flames!
@@Relukn well, you make a point, but it’s hard not to admire the aggression of the company.
I am an a soon the be explorer for a fire dept. I can't wait!!!
Don't get me wrong, you guys did fuckin great that was fast and efficient and I'm proud to call you brothers, but damn how many of you does it take to stand in a hallway while one of you works the nozzle 😂

Try working a nozzle by yourself while pulling to check for fire extension.
Capt firefighter here
I mean even so you only need one guy on the tip and one support there were like 8 guys on the line
I agree, too many ff’s. If they needed to back out, which they should have once it extended above and behind them, then it would have been a cf. Plus the added weight on a stairway with support structure heavily involved from above. Looked like an 1 1/2” they had, and maybe a semi-fog to produce more steam might have helped.
Louis McCluer
more steam..right where they're working? Great idea if u like your firemen bright red with steam burns..been there and learned from experience..most academies teach no steam where personal or victims might be
MsFiregal8 hmmm over 30 years in fire dept experience, I never received any steam burns, nor any FF’s I ever worked with. Although I surmise it’s hard to receive a steam burn if your wearing proper PPE. Full turnout, SCBA, nomex hood, gloves. Any victim that would be in such an environment would either have contact or radiated heat burns, likely either unconscious or dead. Most steam is consumed by radiation cooling that is designed to cool the fire, as well as cut down oxygen to the fire.
Respect .... from Camden Nj fire dept .
rodimus371 what company?
totally amazing how down on the first floor it looks like nothing is even wrong and the go up the stairs and it looks awful
It's pretty surreal to see little collectible cars and kids jackets hanging in the hallway of a very cozy looking house, soon to be completely destroyed.
I read a number of comments saying that this is crazy to go into a burning building or they would be scared, everyone has fear in them but use it to your advantage & try hard to not let it control you.
There's a lot of firefighters watching this channel, just saying.
We watch so we can learn.
@@Josephkerr101 correctamundo
I was overwhelmed watching this video that I cried. The amount of respect We owe firefighters it’s infinite.
Legends, all of them. Worldwide. 👍🏻
Sorry to hear he fell through the floor, but they let the fire get behind them, and the nozzle operator didn't seem as if he knew what he was doing. Glad everyone is ok.
Awesome aggressive interior attack.....Any word on what exactly happened to the firefighter and how he is doing?
us radio commands sounds so cool. greetings from germany
Some comment be like: "Those firefighters are using water brutality, arrest em"
Fire was being too hot. Therefore it had to be put down.
Fire was Armed and dangerous and wanted by fire departments around the world
lol
CT MTB
Should try handcuffing the fire for breaking and entering, malaciuos damage to property
@Kenny P. Boi
What happened to him? Did he light up or did something fall on him?
They needed 2 lines in that attack one for the front and since they went so far in the fire with fire behind them they need a line for the back but I got to say that was some good ventilation
I to hear his screams. Thank God he's okay
Damn that’s crazy and mad respect for these guys! I don’t know much about firefighting just enjoy watching these videos, seems surreal the entire section of the house is engulfed yet the adjacent foyer/living room there’s only some smoke. Hope the homeowners were able to salvage what was left maybe just rebuild the part of the house that was involved. Looks like a nice house too
This is a hell of an aggressive fire 🔥 jeeze!!! So sad these people lost their home!! Looks like they had some vintage stuff😑😔 prayers to the home owner and the fire fighters
Where are we going to be without firefighters. This firefighters should get paid a lot more.I have all the respect for all of them. 🥰🥰💕💕😍😍
7:23 that scream is so sad cause that is the scream of the firefighter being burnt alive. This is truly sad and disturbing. Condolences out to that fire department, the firefighters friends and family. That firefighter is hopefully alive and if he is alive then hopefully he recovers/recovered good. RIP if he did die though. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
He is ok he survived I'm a volunteer firefighter and when I say all of us firefighters have fear every time we enter a burning structure I mean that if any firefighter tells you he's not scared he either stupid or to foolish to know any better and if he really isn't scared then he needs to quit the job because he is then a danger to him self and his brothers
@@charliewood1680 Shut the fuck up pussy
I really liked the fact that the camera man was on the pipe. It gives a good perspective on the collaboration between engine and truck company operations. Also, not trying to start arguments here but what are your thoughts on smooth bore vs combination? Or might it depend on the operation?
Casey Ravesi I personally would have went with a task force tip not a smooth bore. You have more movement with a wide stream
Smoothbore will generally offer a higher GPM at a lower nozzle pressure with less nozzle reaction. I generally prefer a smoothbore, but we put out a lot of fire at work using fog nozzles. With that volume of fire and no apparent life hazards I may have opted for the fog nozzle for steam conversion and maybe a smoothbore on the second line to access deep seated fire. Honestly, it’s probably six one way half a dozen the other. GPM/BTU’s and get water on the seat quickly, all this super-squirrel strategizing is just nonsense.
I dont understand what happened. he fell through a floor? Which floor? In the video you just see him lying in the hallway suddenly. Surely he wasn't upstairs??
Why were there 6 people lined up in the hallway and why did they go into a damaged part of the structure?
Just my two cents as a fireman:
1) a fog or cone nozzle pattern is our friend in this scenario...sorry NIST!
2) You don't need all those members bottlenecking the staircase and egress. More bodies in an area is usually a hindrance not a help.
3) Staircases can be dangerous even when things go smoothly. If there's already heavy fire at the top of the staircase, anticipate the staircase and floor above failing and be very cautious when advancing.
Yea well they have Reasons why they've decided to have multiple firefighters upstairs.
And if you got a problem with that then go complain to the Fire Department who is responsible for this video.
@@melindacourchene8927 Why thank you, CDC...duly noted.
People can critique all they want, what real firefighters realize is that every fire is different every building is different and you have to take a different tactical approach to each fire you fight. Good job to those who rescued the down fire fighter in this video
Y'all are some pretty brave people
These guys have balls the size of Jupiter to do this job!!!!! Total badasses.
All respect for these guys it is scary being a firefighter and when your dad is one like mine all you can do is pray to god
Incredible. God bless.
Im not a firefighter but wanted to know the protocol on turning off the house power before using water on the fire?
Doesn’t they heat just melt all the wiring and everything anyway so the power is forcibly shutting itself off
im curious... why use a straight stream the whole time? why not open it up a bit for wider coverage?
Horrible situation, I had one of my guys being a bit too aggressive and went somewhere he knew he shouldn't have been. Staircase collapsed with him. Minor injuries thankfully but it can happen when you're not paying attention to whats going on around you. I did notice on the original attack that nozzle pattern was terrible! When the Lt. says power cone turn it to a power cone!
100% correct. when teh Lt. tells ya someting like that, there is a damn good reason for it. im not a firefighter but my question is, does power cone allow for a finer mist to cause a steam effect to smother flames or is it for more water coverage over a larger area than a stream?
Khyra Ares pretty much. When he says power come he's saying to open the nozzle more for a wider pattern with the fog nozzles we have now the water is more of a mist effect when he opens it more. Personally I would rather have a smooth bore nozzle in this situation and fought this fire from below the stairs with a solid stream putting out more water
Darrin Hogeland A structure with no.occupants.Why neven go in? Why not set a defensive attack.Risk V S reward.The structure is a loss not worth the risk of injuries or LODD.
David g I agree. And looking at what they pulled up on even if there were occupants what's their chance of still being alive upstairs.
Centrallax21 I believe it was known that there were no occupants.Why even risk a interior attack? Makes no sense.Also looks like the fire vented the roof itself.Just as I mentioned defensive attack and pound it with hose lines.Everyone goes home.
Fine, I'll say it. Departments with Scott's see the most fire.
That's funny. I've decided to become a firefighter and my last name is Scott. Just applied for Fire Recruit last week too
@@humananonymous4518 Scott is an air pack brand...
My company runs Scott I joined in January of 2019 we were talking about going to MSA. We had 2 good working fires that year. In 2020 we had 13 when we started the process of buying new Scott’s...

@@eoinpkav152 nah, up yours, moron
How do they stay oriented amidst all the confusion? I think I would have a panic attack.
Lots of training. But yeah, anyone who says they haven’t ever panicked a little during a fire is lying.
@@ffandrewd2986 yes you can have all that training but when your pumping adrinaline it's different.
They're never going in alone
At least 2 guys go inside,while the one in the back keeps his hand on the front guys shoulder,and they move accordingly.
Houses aren't typically so big that you get lost in them,unless you have very shit spatial awareness and forget where you've come from,getting lost shouldn't be a problem.
Firefighters don't get enough credit imo.
Keep your stairwells and halways clear if you can, especially when its tight AF
good job engine thumbs up
What was happening to the guy who was screaming?
Beeindruckendes Video ! Ich hab schon beim zuschauen atemnot bekommen. Echt heftig was ihr da leisten müsst !
I'm not a firefighter. I have no idea what I'm talking about. But it seems like there were way too many firefighters in the hallway and it seems very reckless that they pushed in so far. What am I missing?
At 1:11 “Sitting around the campfire singing campfire songs” 🤣
Was that a fireman from the roof that fell inside ?
Gotta flow water to put the fire out...and I'm not a TH-cam fire chief but that was a great video of what it's actually like in a fire...again keep the nozzle open and knock the piss out of it.
can you put anymore on the staircase? back up line? put that many firefighters on any floor it will collapse. big training issues there.
Most Dangerous job around world ,bravo for all firefighter
They should have yelled at the fire to stop resisting.
Usually one of the first things to do is turn the Gas Electric off to a house fire? I see the lights are still on inside. I would hate to be doing the walk through after the fire is out during the investigation and rub against a Drier outlet wires or something 240V 30 Amps.
That’s the first in trucks job. At least in my department, our s.o.p.’s state first in engine drops a line and the first in truck does primary search an cuts gas and electric
Yeah they had too many firemen in there they should of had someone turning em off. But they were probably pumping adrinaline by then.
is that pop pop ammo cookig off?
Any explanation on the use of the focused water spray in such a close-quarter firefighting? Wouldn't a broader spray be much more effective in this situation?
MarcelPichault because you'd end up steam burned like a MFer.....a water droplet expands into 1700 droplets of steam. We only use solid stream nozzles (or straight stream for the people that use a combination nozzle for whatever reason). Plus more penetration with solid steam.
Thanks for your answers, we have a very different approach in my Fire Dept so it's always interesting to hear about different tactics.
The smaller the water droplets, the quicker it evaporates! With a fog pattern, the water is gone before it even gets to the fire!
That's the point. A fog absorbs a lot more energy a lot quicker. The problem is not the flames themselves but the hot gazes created by the combustion.
MarcelPichault exactly it's all about humidity you really wanted to rain inside that building and if you do use a straight stream you specifically need to hit objects to get a splash effect going I mean you can't actually hit fire things are not on fire fires on things... P.s but there is a reason they don't do it.
I can’t believe they are inside the house with that much fire inside. I don’t know how they do it.
6:20 damn landscapers;)
It appeared to me that there was a Battalion Chief in that hallway. Put two men on that line, and send the rest for an outside attack. The ideal inside attack team consists of two firefighters and one officer. Just my opinion, but the lead with the nozzle would've had better luck with a power-cone and short to medium bursts. That comes with good training. As far as the Mayday that was initiated, my question is why didn't I hear transmissions between Incident Command and the commanding officer inside. For those of you that have been in situations like this, you understand my criticism. It's not that I'm taking anything away from the work that they did, it's just details. In the end, HOPEFULLY they all went home safely, and with limited damage done.
That is why sounding the floor is so important
What happened in the video did they get out??????
Im almost halfway done with academy at the moment and hopefully I️ don’t regret saying this, but I️ can’t wait to fight fires like this.
How is it going now
HELL NAWWW😦
NO WAY AM I RUNNING
IN THERE....WOW
Someone has to.
What happened to him? Did he get burned?
wow get hard time 저는 한국소방관인데 고생많으셨내요 그런 불을 보면 겁이나서 숨도 잘 안쉬어 지는데 어떻게 해야할지 모르겠어요???
Was having that front door wide open a bad idea?
They must do a hell of a lot of weight training in order to be able to still move around like that carrying all that gear and their massive set of balls.....
Literally Firefighter down.
Daniel you think?
hah nice one
The words I never wanted to hear in a real situation, "mayday mayday mayday".
So as a soon to be firefighter can someone explain what happened to the firefighter that went down? I’m just trying to understand some things ion know yet
Looks like he feel down into the basement due to the floor giving way.
If they’re inside that house and they’re not saving known occupants, they’re completely nuts risking human lives to save property. We don’t go into burning buildings here in Canada unless we know we can save a life, otherwise we take a defensive position and let the fire self mitigate.
Cy fair fire department is protect lives and property. Not just lives. They still saved some of the house instead of burning it down. They took the risk.
Who is the original vid owner
SOUND. THE. FLOOR. I've yet to find a single incident where FFs sounded the floor properly, continued to sound the floor if they stopped in 1 place, and still fell through the floor.
Nozzle guy dosent sounds the floor dummy
LIKE DAYMMM😮
HOW MANY ARE GOING
UP THE STAIRS??????
ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!
Shut the fuck up armchair firefighter. You have no clue about the profession so don't open up your pothole.
@@lawncare2452 did that comment touch a nerve mate?
Wattermark: just police videos,
Video: firefighters
this was wrong from arrival, and it started with the incident command on the radio, not wrong with entering the front door, but 3 lines should have been pulled, fire thru the roof, fire thru the window, the 5 guys on the landing could have been working the fire from outside, fighting fire directly above your head with solid bore on the nozzle, leads to debris falling on your head, a slight fan on the nozzle will help to reduce heat, but you have to spend some time soaking the area, they should have stayed at the landing and drowned what was in front of them instead of advancing, the man on the hose would hit it, then shut the nozzle down, i would have stood there and soaked it for a few minutes not seconds, just because you hit and see no flames does not mean it is out, the heat will re ignite the room, 2,5 inch lines thru the windows and roof would have knocked that down faster, and if the interior crew had of stayed on the landing with protection over there head they would avoid thermal burns from water coming thru the roof and windows, i did see a whit helmet in there, he was in a position to go from the stairs to the outside of the home and back to direct interior and exterior attack, it was good to hear the saws going with ventilation, i hope they were working the solid part of the roof that still had structure. If you focus too much on interior attack when you can hit the fire thru a window or a hole in the roof, you are not looking at the big picture, i teach surround and drown, then advance, and i use this video to show how things can go wrong if you advance too fast, every structure fire is different and has different conditions, and i am not disrespecting this department in any way, some people made comments on getting in there and looking for victims, well there are 2 sides to that idea, in many cases the home owner is the one who calls in the fire and the dispatcher will ask if everyone is out of the house, so we usually know before we leave the station, but at times a resident may risk running in to get a pet or important item, anyone who is at the home outside i will ask a second time, is there anyone inside?? If there was, look at the conditions of the upstairs, without a BA and ppe, no one could survive that for more than a few minutes, t, h
the hero mentality is one thing, but doing your duty and surviving to fight another day is another, i was in a similar fire like this in a split level home a few years ago, similar conditions, part of the structure was intact, we soaked it for 5 minutes before advanced, house was burnt to the raftors but we got it out before venting the roof, we never shut the nozzle down, with this much heat you have to drown it with water, if anything i think this is the best video on you tube for firefighters, and no disrespect for this crew, different tactics and more water could have changed the outcome...........and lots more water outside.........cheers, love and respect for all of us who wake up to the tones and respond
May I Ask if you’re actually a firefighter, and if so are you an interior firefighter? You know why you don’t make attacks from outside and inside at the same time is to avoid steaming the interior company working also that’s why you don’t use a fog stream to fight heavy fire loads inside as it will create steam and burn you.
@@stuartstolarz6365 yes i am a fire fighter, i am the first interior captain on my crew for more than 12 years, yes i agree with your point, if you have more than one stream going in the structure, as in front windows or roof, the risk of thermal burns to the interior crew is a real thing, i hear the radio communication before the crew arrived, yes i agree with deploying a line interior, but by the time they were inside and had a charged line they may have been more effective with 2, 2.5 inch lines thru the windows with volume of water to reduce heat and fire load, the interior crew on the landing was in a good spot to work the roof without advancing, the white helmet that was there, should have moved in and out to observe the condition of the structure inside and out before letting the interior crew to advance beyond a safe place to operate, why go into the inferno when you can be more effective standing on the sidewalk pushing high volume of water into a vented roof and windows, this video shows where things can go wrong, better communication by the chief or deputy could have kept this crew out of the hot zone
I'm French and I don't really understand what the guys said and what happened with the Firefighter..
