Big props to you Chief. I am not necessarily a fire buff, and am certainly in no position to give a critique on fire operations. That said, I salute you for the way you conduct the operations and the absolute professionalism I see in your videos. Thank you so much for reinforcing faith in the fire fighting profession.
Your videos are awesome you run your crews on a tight ship and you remain calm at all times that is great. please ask the PD guys not to stand in front of your camera.lol
Many misinformed would have shouted for a deck gun. This is a great example of how much better a handline is. They put out a Lot of fire quickly and were then able to change positions and hit the fire from multiple angles! Another great Knock by Newark!
Another great video. Everyone is on the ball, knows what to do, or takes direction, and performs the job perfect. This Fire Department is a perfect example of the correct way a fire ground should be run. From top to bottom, amazing
get out of the way little boy, love it. Great job Chief, your team is awesome. that kid should be in bed. LOL Those power lines look lethal. Yikes Love the cops blocking the shot, leaning on your truck.
I wonder if that little boy started the fire. I've studied some psychology, and apparently, there are prepubescent boys who seem to have a thing about fire.
I enjoy looking at your videos as a firefighter myself I learn a great deal on incident command please keep making these videos as they are great for training
This firefighting group is the best I've seen on video. They have hoses out and charged, the flames knocked down while other depts. I've seen are still deciding which end of the hose you put the nozzle!
Excellent work by your firefighters Chief. Your command is awesome!. Have you taught any fire scene command training classes to Firefighters in other states? Would love to read any articles of books that you may have written . I was wondering why you cancelled the Safety Officer Captain from responding to the scene ? I have watched most of your videos and noticed you never assign a Safety Officer to your scenes? Is it due to your limited manpower that the Safety Officer position goes unfilled? Have you responded to a HazMat team incident? Ifyes, do you think you can video your next hazmat call and post it?
are you going to have any firematics competition videos that would be really cool to see i can remember watching our vol. f d do those they were great fun. anyways just wanted to say keep up the great work you guys do and thanks for your service
Yourself and your company always does an awesome job at any and all calls you respond to. Thank you for your time and consideration and I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Thank You and God Bless you and stay safe!
Was the house occupied? My old department ( Fremont Rural FD, Fremont, NE) used to make an aggressive, direct exterior to interior attack with one to two inch-and-a- half on a 30-degree fog pattern, pushing the fire back and kill it inside, while backup lines were being stretched. Don't get me wrong, exposures come first when you have a bloomer like that, but, well-hell, I wasn't there.
I've been "retired" since '04 after giving about 25-years service to both Fremont Volunteer Fire Dept. and Fremont Rural Fire Dept. Too many ailments going on with me.
Always a patrol car or 2 in the way.... they want to watch their heroes at work. LOL We bust on our cops all of the time about being in the way. Look Up cop car crushed by fire truck......
Yea I heard when I posted so I’m wondering when you arrive and do your 360 your looking at exposures and accountability but my question is this, at what point should you consider at stand off! ( surround and drown)
@@normalchristianity3411 That is a tough question to answer in this forum. A lot of that decision is based on structural stability. Can we safely make an interior attack? For instance, if I arrive and have fire through the roof, that tells me that fire has been attacking the building and there is a serious risk for the roof to come in. Or if fire is showing throughout the structure and there is no chance of someone inside surviving. Another major factor is if the homeowner meets me on arrival and says everyone is out. I dial back the aggressiveness at that point, and would more readily move to a defensive mode if necessary.
I've got a question... In which way are you able to cut the power line? I mean, is there an option to cut power for the area fast or does it take long until the suppliers are able to shut it down? I am thinking of a quick solution that the suppliers can shut down a street or so within a short time if needed... I mean in times of fast communication and internet there should be an option to cut the power from a central office so that the power gets disconnected if the fire fighters are in action It shouldn't be too difficult to add these communication lanes to some distribution boxes so that you can shut down power for an area (maybe every street) within seconds, it would be safer not only for fire fighters, but also if something else would happen, cause you don't need someone to show up there, you just need to push a button then...
As an Electrician, the fire department are NOT permitted to cut any power line or power sources unless an Electrician from the power company is present and advises them to do so. In training we are taught firefighters are taught to avoid electrical devices at all costs and to leave it to the Lineman to ensure the property (all lines connecting to source) are de energized before any action is taken to prevent death or electrical hazards. Some departments have 1 to 2 qualified and osha trained members that are allowed to used poles to disconnect power switches on large lines and or utility poles. Typically these are the few whom have completed lineman training and are capable of providing electrical safety to a battalion. Here in Arizona the standard is set to have at least one member per shift trained and certified on this matter.
Do you guys have a system and or equipment just for dealing with electric situations like that? For example we keep a bag specifically for that. Lineman gloves, webbing, a collapsible linemans pole, and a bag to place the meter when we pull it.
The biggest cop they have on scene stands in front of the camera to eat his doughnut!
so he can say " hey Look @ me "

Wow, that house went up real fast, wonder if it was arson...?
Michael Lutz This fire was ruled arson.
Your videos are awesome you run your crews on a tight ship and you remain calm at all times that is great. please ask the PD guys not to stand in front of your camera.lol
Man, this FD is on the ball. Fast work on getting water on the fire, Good Job.
I agree, they were good.
Like all FDs.

3:21 to 3:24 Whoa! The power line is down! I bet ya that's what started the Fire
Another great video. Everyone is on the ball, knows what to do, or takes direction, and performs the job perfect. This Fire Department is a perfect example of the correct way a fire ground should be run. From top to bottom, amazing

Hey everyone needs a hero lol
I wonder if that little boy started the fire. I've studied some psychology, and apparently, there are prepubescent boys who seem to have a thing about fire.
Wonder if he was talking to the cop when he said get out of the way little boy...😆
Shrek had to go prop himself on the hood in front of the camera just towards the end. Apparently, he didn't get the memo.
Chief, you need another window washer nozzle facing forward for training them to keep off your rig lol.
good job but tell the police to get out of the shot lol
I enjoy looking at your videos as a firefighter myself I learn a great deal on incident command please keep making these videos as they are great for training
Chief Decker y'all seem to be doing a great job
This firefighting group is the best I've seen on video. They have hoses out and charged, the flames knocked down while other depts. I've seen are still deciding which end of the hose you put the nozzle!
Dave is your brother still working for Hanover twp and does he do videos of fire runs as well.?
wow! excellent job guys. seems newark has a lot of structural fires
When you called for I-20, were you calling for a fire inspector to respond?
Chief, you run a great crew. I was a part of Martins Ferry VFD in Ohio and the way you guys work reminds me a lot of how we worked. Great job sir.
Great videos, nice to see how you guys work first hand😃 greetings from Ireland

Chief Decker..you've done an awesome job. You're men get in and get it done. There are a lot of companies that could benefit from your department
Another Great Knock Down David, Awesome Team work. Cheers The Dizzy One.
Goodjobchief
Keepupthegoodwork
I'm EMS in NYS. Still admire the way you run the scene. They are lucky to have you. Stay safe brother!
They are fast at getting water on the fire!
Yourself and your company always does an awesome job at any and all calls you respond to. Thank you for your time and consideration and I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Thank You and God Bless you and stay safe!
WOW. They walked right across the live power lines.. then the cops stood right in front of the chiefs car.

To be fair i would say that the first hoseline should have been working on the caravan and house to the left to prevent any fire spread.
Rescue 51...ah the 70s. Great job on this call.
Didn't see DeSoto or Gage, though!😀😁😀😁😀😁
You guys are good!
Holy COW my heart stopped when the power line swung over towards the FF hand jacking the attack line! Much too close for comfort!
Always a patrol car or 2 in the way.... they want to watch their heroes at work. LOL We bust on our cops all of the time about being in the way. Look Up cop car crushed by fire truck......
You guys are so fast. You roll up on scene, immediately get hoses and within 2 minutes already got a knock on the fire.
you guys do a great jobBut I see you hand jacking a line to the hyd. I started in 1974 and it was beat into us the first in eng.lays a hyd line
Doughnut eaters got in way of the camera.
and then those two go stand in front of the camera go figure
“Let’s park on the chief’s car. What the heck.”
some cops are real pricks at the end went and stood right in front of the camera 😐
at the end...love how the oblivious LEO is leaning on the bumper guard of Command 1..with a great shot of his backside
There really isn't much for Police to do at a fire scene once the FD shows up. Block roads and watch is about it.
So are you counting the camper in as exposure or just the houses
I'm counting the camper as an exposure.
Yea I heard when I posted so I’m wondering when you arrive and do your 360 your looking at exposures and accountability but my question is this, at what point should you consider at stand off! ( surround and drown)

Our area is rural I’m new I guess you can say so taking in all I can be in for six years so I wanna learn and learn and learn
Cops, always getting in the way :)
And of course the cops got lean up against something and watch the men work!
Hey, cops need heroes too...
I've got a question...
In which way are you able to cut the power line?

@@13eckerlosmuerte that is honestly a brilliant idea
We just pull the meter and place it to the side. Kills power within, but from the meter to the pole is still live.
Do you guys have a system and or equipment just for dealing with electric situations like that? For example we keep a bag specifically for that. Lineman gloves, webbing, a collapsible linemans pole, and a bag to place the meter when we pull it.
I don't think they do. All the videos I have seen have them calling Power and Gas companies. May be their policy is not to touch them.
90degree heat house fire
3:20 that was a close call
So how do the rig numbers work? The highest I heard was Engine 3 and then it jumped to Engine 52. Is Engine 52 a volunteer engine for Newark?
Oklahoma Emergency Engine 52 is a mutual aid unit coming out of the city of Heath.
I hear you mention I20 a lot is that the utility company?
I-20 is our fire investigator.
I always wanted to be a fire fighter
It has been an excellent and very rewarding career. I have 28 years in and have enjoyed going to work every day.
David Decker is this volunteer
No. We are a paid department. Typically we have 16-18 guys on duty, working a 24 hour shift.
David Decker that's good. Keep up the good work and be safe
Try to get on your local volunteer fire department. They're always looking for newer people.
I beat ya the Power line that started the Fire
What is I 20?
I-20 is our fire marshal that handles the investigation.
I’ve always wondered too as well now we all know I use to be a fire fighter we just asked for the fire marshall
