I thought it was hilarious with the firefighter and the ladder. I'll put the ladder up here. Nope, let's go over here. Nope, can't do that. Maybe here, Nope. Oh the hell with it !!
explain to me why people get off the trucks with no PPE on or very little. I know the answer, the people in charge are to blame to let this happen. When some one gets hurt I hope their lawyer uses videos like this to show how they choose to run a department.
Why so many without gear on? And sorry, but the guy running around with the ladder originally was funny and he finally dropped it LOL Good stop. Chief needs to put some gear on too if she's going to be looking in the front door.
Those are probably drivers bringing up equipment. The guy with the ladder was probably looking for a good place for roof access, then realized it was too far gone to be going up on the roof to ventilate. I'm sure it was hard to see at first with all the smoke hanging low.
Too far gone? I'd have to disagree. I'm pretty sure most of Houston Fire would disagree. I was wondering where the hell he was going, but I think the smoke (and the fire showing at the A/D corner eaves) made it difficult to easily find a place to ladder. After finding himself taking smoke, I think that he made to decision to go get fully turned out. That's what I hope anyway.
There's absolutely NO reason to be up on that roof to ventilate. The house is small enough with enough windows to easily horizontally ventilate, especially with that wind. Being up on that roof is more likely to result in an LOD injury or death than any other task on that fire. Especially since there was a limited number of firefighters there at the time. Extinguishment and Search were more of a priority than roof ventilation. And by the time it could've been done, they already had knock down. They did a great job.
Yes, you could say that in this case there was no reason to be up on that roof, but your first comment was that it was "too far gone" to be up there. I disagree with that assessment of the structure.
I really have a difficult time understanding why personnel are approaching the scene WITHOUT proper gear. I don't care what your rank, position, or intention is.
That's because you probably work at a department that sees one maybe two fighters per year and obsess about book rules. In the real world it's nobody's business to question whether at a guy needs his gear on or not. There are professionals and would put on their gear if it was needed. It's seriously so hard to read comments from people that think they know this job but in all reality with a rookie until they retire.

Good Job! Hopefully are Brother was ok! Prayers!
I admire the enthusiasm of the guy who said he was going to the roof...screw that! lol And District 20...yawn...
Nice stop

Great stop guys
White shirt in the smoke with no gear, not setting a good example but a great stop-

I agree with you. Nice to see someone paying attention and making great comments and not tearing them down.

If you came up to me on a fire scene and told me to put on my gear you would get punched in the mouth
@@SittingWithDogsYou would punch a senior captain?
