If you didn't hear in the video, there were hoarder like conditions on the inside. The initial search teams consisted of 4 members. My crew was backing up the attack team going to the second floor. Yes, we respond with an aggressive approach. I assure you, everyone had a roll.

You may have not heard in the video. The request was made if ventilation was needed or not. We chose not to vertically ventilate in this situation due to the majority of the fire burning on the first floor and rear sun room and partial basement. After the debrief we learned that the lower garage doors on the delta side of the house were opened by another crew, possibly contributing to the rapid fire spread. Also, upon re-entry ladder were deployed.

I'm a captain in North Carolina. So a flash over is where everything catches fir, even the smoke itself instantly. So, with heavy black smoke and oxygen, it was what it needed to flash. A lot of firefighters don't make it out a flashover. Sometimes, it's hard to read. A mayday is where a fire fighter is trapped or hurt or the safety of another fire fighter. Once they call mayday, the one in charge will ask for an update ( Luner) report. And only one talks at that time will be firefighter in trouble. Also, you will hear 3 blast of air horn that tells everyone there that they need to get out and stand by for a per count. So they know who there and who is in trouble. Then everything switches to let's save our guy first and everything else second. Hopefully, that helps a bit

The Mayday was called due to the nozzle firefighter initially being unaccounted for by his officer. I was backing up the initial interior fire attack crew along with my tailboard and officer. There was rapid fire spread throughout the first floor causing us to have to back out of the second floor. There should have been an additional hose line deployed to the first floor it just wasn't in play yet when the event happened. Ultimately, we were caught in a "roll-over" event more than a flashover.

@@petersjason27 Thanks Capt. that's a great explanation. This definitely was not a flashover event. We were just caught above grade while the fire began to ventilate toward our position. Luckily, the stairway was only a few feet from the front door. Our IC is as good as they come.

Appreciate the explanation, and thanks for your service to your communities.

Yes we do

Rules are rules brother. MFG requirement.

@@dekalbtwenty4258 lol, ok!

No training fire brother. All working incidents. Mostly all occupied at the time of the fires. Thanks for checking us out!

Thanks for watching. First thing, this helmet cam was from the firefighter on the 3rd due engine. There was already 1 engine company on fire attack, 1 truck company on primary search. I was riding on the 2nd due truck ,not far behind this firefighter. We actually went to the roof and performed vertical ventilation. There was a slight bottleneck at the front door due to high heat and congestion with the split level stairs. But, there were ladders thrown (by me) as well as ventilation (by me). I did not have a helmet cam at the time of this video. So please, ask questions and I will answer, but do not assume you see the whole situation from a single perspective.

The "powers that be" deemed the tiller more useful at Sta 21 in Oct 2019. Tk20 is running in an SPH100 now. Well, when its not in the shop.

@@dekalbtwenty4258 🤦🏻‍♂️ sorry to hear about your loss.lol good ol’ powers to be.

Thank you sir

You can literally hear the chief call for ladders at 1:45

Sorry, it's taken me a while in responding. What do you mean by TL? Not every dept. has the same terminology.

@@dekalbtwenty4258 ....Tower Ladder

@@heavy7799 Have you ever had a driveway fail due to the weight of the apparatus? We have. Our SOG does not allow most apparatus to leave the roadways due to safety, ie... setting up on grass or off roadways or sidewalks/ driveways. Thin concrete. carrying ladders and tools is part of the job. We do advocate for the aerial to "take the address" which it did. Thank you for the clarification on the terminology.

@@dekalbtwenty4258 ...fires don’t always happen in perfect conditions. If the ground isn’t soft, as in didn’t have much rainfall in recent days, and the rig will fit them put it where it’s suppose to be. Put the plates down and set the rig up to go to work. “Sorry mamm, your son was killed fighting a fire because we were to nervous to set up our $1 million dollar truck. We saw him at the the top floor window but took to long to get to him”. Where I’m from out TL chauffeur will put the aerial scope anywhere it’ll fit and be up it operation in minutes.

@@heavy7799 We've never had an issue with throwing portable ladders. If you're relying on a TL for rescue on a single family dwelling then maybe the tactics should be reconsidered. We are a very busy truck company. More rescues have been done by portable ladders than aerials. We do serve in a suburban area of Atlanta.

Sometimes pressures fluctuate in the first few minutes after deployment. Just trying to get discharge pressures fine tuned. Some D/O's are more OCD than others.
