- Fire units were dispatched to a small SFD with fire showing. Upon arrival units went all hands to make an aggressive attack on the fire due to high heat conditions Ladder company 8s outside team opened up for the Engine company and the fire was quickly extinguished. Here is a POV of the OV firemen from L-8
I like the placement of the second ladder in the back yard as an escape route.
@@JB91710 2 min's is forever ?
My only complaint is that he didnt sound the roof before stepping off the ladder.. but other than that awsome job.
@@tylermorrow2846literally the first thing I noticed / thought
@@TrueMuzik419 @tylermorrow2846 You guys are so cool. You should go teach them how to be real internet firefighters :)
@@tylermorrow2846 Definitely a flunkie.
For anyone curious the technique is called vertical ventilation. It’s used to exhaust for the attack team
Hey, thanks! I was wondering.
as a non expert on fire, i would initially think cutting a hole in the roof would create more airflow for the fire and accelerate the fire below. is this only done once the main fire is put out?
@@corpsetime as someone with a degree in fire science. Vertical ventilation is important because heat rises and all the super hot gases and pyrrolic smoke will cause a flashover and the heat will stay inside and burn the house down. the ventilate properly, you MUST be above the main fire and heat source. otherwise, as you mentioned, you will just allow more air in and fuel the fire.
@@corpsetime My assumption is that you only do this immediately before you're about to go in and you think you can put the fire out quickly with the smoke and gasses cleared out because, yeah, you've basically just created a wind tunnel that is going to feed oxygen to the fire.
@@sparklesparklesparkle6318 So ventilation isn't a thing, the chainsaw is to look good is what your saying, correct?
That's how you knock down a fire. 6 minutes and the fire is pretty much out. Well done guys! The firefighter with the camera is a beast, one handing a ladder and a chainsaw!
Appreciate it brother
What is this "knock down" stuff? You extinguish a fire.
@@user-zr6pl6nb6z "knock down" is an official firefighting term for basically getting the fire under control and extinguishing the main fire, so there might only be smaller fires which are easily extinguished, like the tiny fire under those panels in the living room.
Did the chainsaw stall because of the smoke?
maybe i'm wrong but the house is still to be destroyed anyway isn't it ?
Wow! You guys knocked this one out of the park, nicely done! Total hustle from the OV, and bonus points for setting up a second means of egress. People will gripe about the climbing angle but seriously that's splitting hairs at this point. It's not often you see such strong work on UA-cam. I'll be showing this to my guys tonight!
They should be using a roof ladder. Can’t knock their hustle though. You can hustle and do things more safely at the same time though. The interior didn’t look survivable to me, so no need to get hurt over this one.
It’s tough to tell without being there or seeing him sound the roof but from a quick size up it definitely looks safe to be on. I’d argue the entire bravo side of the structure is tenable space, at least from the street. Tough to tell if the bedroom doors are closed from that interior segment.
@@FireGuy22182 Not knocking the hustle or the quick knockdown. Every dept is different. We just use roof ladders. It might be all you have to grab onto in a collapse. We just automatically grab one. It doesn’t really take that much more time.
My favorite part was watching them struggle to climb down those ladders...
🤣👍
Nothing like wearing full MOPP gear and trying to do real-world activities...
😂😂😂😂😂
I was thinking the same thing
Q pegged, quick and methodical, purpose driven and knows his job. Very well done, bravo to the brothers in this video!
Anybody who knows anything about sirens knows Q's aren't supposed to be pegged...
@@ffjsbyeahhh okay you’re right… but they are rebuildable and if not they don’t cost a million bucks…. Make noise get people out of the way get them to focus on you is the name of the game while en route… and it seems like you know a thing or 2 about making loud noises and being pegged
@@tjlovesrachel @ffjsb Boom roasted
@@tjlovesrachel Son, I've only been on the job for 40 years. If you burn out the Q and it's your only siren, it puts the truck out of service. I know a thing or two about maintenance, parts costs, and the effectiveness of sirens.
And BTW, keep your homosexual fantasies to yourself kid, I'm not interested.
@@tjlovesrachel Ice pack? Ice pack? Some one order and ice pack for their burn? LOL
Saw the trucks pull up and you guys somehow put out what looked to be an absolute lost cause, that's incredible! Don't get me wrong, the house is burnt to a cinder, but that looked like something that'd be a pile of ash before it went out, and instead a recognisable structure remained.
Incredible job!
I doubt anything is salvageable.
@@stuwest3653 There is no doubt that NOTHING is salvageable.
Even if it would be structurally stable, the smell won't leave, which is a bad thing for traumatized home owners...
(Maybe if there is a basement, that could be salvaged, but i doubt there is a basement.)
better to contain and control the fire to ensure it don't catch onto other structures
@@blinking_dodo Regardless they still did a better job than most volunteer stations would. Most wouldn’t even put any effort into this whatsoever. These dudes actually did their job up until the end instead of sitting in the yard and letting it become a foundation. I’d want these guys coming to my fire, because if they put this much effort on a lost cause, then they will put even more effort into saving something savable. The difference between t-shirt clowns and actual firemen. The mindset you have is actually quite ridiculous either way they are going to be traumatized, but they would be even more traumatized by a foundation, and probably angry that the Fire Department sat around and let it burn down. Its about addressing their needs, these guys knew it was a lost cause but they tried to at least show the family that they were going to do everything they could to save it. That means a lot more to families, and something that those who HIHFTY and yard breathe will never understand.
@@SirJamesIGamerfuzion HiT hArD fRoM tHe YaRd AnD nEvEr Go InTeRiOr The Volunteer Firefighter way because 90% of the “70% oF fIrEfIgHtErS” are too pussy to go interior and do actual work. If these guy are volunteer they are of the 10% of volunteers that are actually worth a damn.
Just subscribed. I am currently a Probationary Firefighter up here in the Chicagoland area (also assigned to a truck company). Watching this is very helpful in order to be the best I can be for my crew. You guys handled this fire like true dedicated professionals and there's something to be said for that. I can tell you guys are a pretty aggressive no BS department. Thanks for the upload!
Great truck work and awesome communication with interior crews. That looked like a text book coordinated attack!
Grabbing and throwing ladders, climbing to the roof with tools and doing work in full bunker gear with an air pack on is exhausting. Hats off to this guy for getting after it.
It's there job to do this so u just noticed it because Chicago fire department and FDNY don't wear scba on fire calls
😂😂😂one real man doing all the work
Do you have a point? Yes, it's his job and he's doing it well. And what is your low-IQ point about other depts. not wearing SCBA...like this is a good thing? You may wish to pick another career, b/c fire department critique is not your strong suit. You are literally an idiot. @@TomManning-cs4el
It is fascinating to see the different approaches in other countries. I'm a professional firefighter in Germany and we never ever cut holes in the roof. The buildings are constructed differently, we have almost no wooden houses and mostly ceramic roof tiles. I get the idea behind vertical ventilation, but IMHO it depends on the situation. In this case it worked great, but there are a lot of videos where it seems to be unnecessary, counterproductive and/or extremely dangerous.
Like all things in life, context matters. Generalize and perish.
The hole cut is usually performed on wooden roofs and must be done in total coordination with the advancing Engine (Nozzle guys) company....If it takes to long to open the roof it is then truly a waste of time and counterproductive...Done correctly it provides great relief of heat to interior companies and positive effects for containment and rescue...
Same in UK. Never seen a firefighter doing anything like this in UK. But then we are different in that we have windows that can be opened to let out smoke.
This house is finish next the demo team dang props to our fellow heros in the fd
I had a shed in my backyard that was an eyesore and I wanted it gone. I invited the local FD to come out and do some training on it before I tore it down. This is exactly what they did including the escape route (even though it wasn’t set on fire until after they were done) it’s so cool to see how they trained applied in the real world
That hunger to cut that roof 😂 great throw with both ladders. Great cut
Very quick and methodical attack. Guys appear to be experienced and worked well together.
I was a firefighter thirteen years. Lots of training and good equipment keep firefighters alive. Support by our fire departments and vote for financial support when it's on the ballot.
Lol, the last thing we need is more funding to fire departments.
@@ryandavids1129oh please tell us why you think fire depts don’t need more funding
@@kanoraguy yep. they absolutely don't need more funding.
@@ryandavids1129 you can’t even provide a reason for your bs statement. Once again provide reasoning behind your opinion
@@kanoraguy couple examples . A mid range truck is close to half a million dollars. I see these fire guy clowns driving those engines all around town to lunch, parades, medical calls, and everything and anything that's not fire related. 99 percent of calls that firemen respond to are medical. Which is very important. Not downplaying the importance of people who are medically trained. But why fire engines for these calls? why hose and ladder trucks? EMS and ambulance drivers are good enough most the time. Don't know why I have to keep funding more and more trucks and firehouses and employees. It's ridiculous. Spaghetti dinners, working out, and parades can be on their own dime. Not mine.
Gladly, no firefighters were injured in the making of this outstanding, real life, house fire response!! Kudos to the whole team.
WOW! That truck crew knows their job! Outstanding work!
Wow ive never seen a firefighter pov before that was fascinating. Virtuoso teamwork
The engine company had water on the fire within 70 seconds from the time they arrived on scene. This is probably the fastest I've seen American fire-fighters get water on a fire, which is outstanding! I'm assuming the second ladder was put on the house as an alternative escape route?
Kudos to all involved, your training is clearly top notch.
Yes secondary means of egress the area we serve extremely aggressive and stay true to the principles of firefighting all surrounding areas are very similar.
@@JB91710 lol you took all that time to diss the actions done but yet if a victim is inside ant vertical vent is done heat and gasses are lifted and allows the engine to reach the seat of the fire faster. Keep dreaming you clearly are a troll ladders a waste of time you haven’t been in a real fire with heat my boy.
@@CitywideJobtownsouth JB is a mouth breathing lazy-boy fireman who has never even been in a fire station, never mind actually fought a fire.
@@JB91710 as for number one, what about the newer "clean cabs?" i think it's a terrible idea but if that's the truck they have, stepping out fully dressed isn't possible/allowed.
@@JB91710BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH
Got to say that’s what it’s all about team work, no panicking, professional knowing your job and being aggressive. I’d want these guys and girls turning up to my house if it was on fire. Great work. From a UK firefighter, Manchester.
Great job! Very well cordinated attack! Love how you got tje roof opened up quickly also had 2 points of egress off the roof.
Fascinating! Truly incredible work! More views are needed for this type of work. I’m very thankful that there are men and teams of firefighters out there like you! Bravo my friend, BRAVO! 👍🇺🇸🔥
I'm shocked he was able to negotiate a ladder while being weighed down by the sheer size of his balls.
Hats off to ya, mad lads all. o7
My inner 5YO boy was watching this going 'Wooo! Fire Engine and Sirens! Lets GO!' - My Adult self looked at the Smoke and the Flames and was reminded why you guys are goddamn heros.
Finally a video of some guys that know how to do the job! Nice work
06:58 I can hear your heart pounding through your harness! Good job, mate!
I don't understand everything that was done, but I did learn a little. This is good the civilians need to learn - - a little. Don't get all Sammy-Safety on us. I know that I for one would like to learn more. You guys make me proud of you. 👍
Great job guys!
Well trained and it shows!
From an old truckie here.
And finally a firefighter vedio I am proud of
That big ass ladder, in full gear, full sun, one handed. Dayum
Hell yah grind everyday so I can do this to the best of my ability
I never realized how aggressive fire fighters truly were when fighting fires. Now I know why they're called fire FIGHTERS.
Finally a vid that I’m proud to watch. Although the bodycam limits what we saw, it’s obvious that it was a well planned attack
man just riding in the back looks like it is pumping them up for the job :D a lot of respect for guys like this
And that’s initial fire attack 101 !!! Excellent job ! Love the ventilation team hustle open it up get the heat out hand lines charged inside chase it down knocked DONE!
Saw a 9 minute video and thought, “well, I’ll get to see them start fighting”. Holy moly!! Y’all showed that fire who’s boss!! Amazing stuff👍🏼
The correct way he handles it that boy with a chainsaw is a legend!
You never catch firefighters mid battle because they are always so quick to end it.
Much love.
Well that's not always the case, 2 fire fighters died in a fire in Sankt Augustin, find it saddening, but then again we go into the unknown. Haven't done my AGT (I'm german, otherwise also known as a Apparatus) training so I luckily don't have to go into fires yet, I'm voluntary and so were they, just happy to know that everyone from my stations healthy at least.
@@J0shW I understand. May god watch over you in all of your training and may he watch over you when you need him most. And thank you for your bravery. it takes a lot.
Outstanding job all the way around. Didn’t stand around for minutes getting geared up and trying to figure out a plan. Knew what to do soon as the truck arrived. Only thing I’d have to critique is maybe sound the roof before getting on it. Otherwise awesome job!
WOW!! Those guys on the ladder truck knew there job and how important there job is to get up there and get that skylight cut and open up to get all that hot smoke and gas off there Eng. Buddies. That was GREAT TEAM WORK!! And placing the ladder around back for a Secondary escape plan 👍👏
Good Job Guys, Greetings from a Firefighter from Goettingen, Germany. Stay safe, stay healthy.🚒
You guys are quick keep up the hard work fire department 💪😮
So heartbreaking for the people who live there. I hope you got all your stuff out safely and your family was safe too.
Intense! Can't believe this would be considered small. Great view and perspective. Thanks for the video!!
Hats off to you firefighters, especially you guys on the Ladders.
You guys have the biggest balls. There's no way I could do that for a living
this is some GREAT vent work here! great job boys.
Nice job! Good example of why firemen/women have to be in good shape. God bless you all and keep you safe. It looks like a chief or officer was leading the charge on the roof.
Just a back step firemen
Exceptional work!! As a fresh one in the fire service having only 3 years in these are the videos I look for to train on.
Outstanding truck work!
AMAZING! Those men are true heroes!!!! They went to work and killed that fire in no time flat. I’m astonished. Also that’s crazy how fast a fire tears through a home.
Damn! A fireman in the US that's actually running? I see all these fireman just poking around and want to say the "slow is smooth and smooth is fast" bullshit.
This guys show that fast can be smooth if you know what you are doing. Maybe it's a competency thing, more than a function thing.
@Caderic
At no time in the video is anyone seen running
@@virgilhilts3924 Yes daddy. Oh wise, all knowing fireman god.
You move that fast in bunker gear, SCBA carrying a ladder and saw, then tell me it's not running. You missed the point.
I bet you're fun at parties.
@@Caderic
Your triggering is showing 🤣
Unlike the video which shows no one running as you assert
@@virgilhilts3924I was definitely jogging a few times
@@virgilhilts3924 Naw man. You are the one sounding triggered. CitywideJobtownsouth said he was jogging...you know a slow pace run.
Very smart making a vent in the top, im glad the fire department thinks of these things
Thank you for your services.
Firefighters are like demo guys except they are fighting a fire at the same time. Cheers mate
Good stuff my brother. Despite the negative armchair firefighter comments, your crew did an exemplary job working what most would call a lost cause. I almost wish that the roof vent hole would have flashed to show why we cut them, but there will be others, I'm sure.
Stay safe and carry on!
Right on
Great work, you knew your job and did it perfectly, probably should’ve sounded roof, but I think you were aware of the conditions and made a situation based decision. Also, sweet rig, very well equipped backseat and nice having the ladder ready with a hook.
Usually these videos are pretty easy to sit and armchair QB them, but damn, you guys are dialed in.
I love a great roof ventilation video, you killed it!
Don't forget to sound the roof.
What we see in this video is impressive! What we don’t see in this video is even MORE impressive. He can’t do that amount of work with that speed and accuracy without fanatical pride and ownership in his job. Never met him, but I can tell you he trains himself, trains others around him, and will never stop being a student of firefighting. Outstanding, bro!
EXACTLY!!! I hate when people use the "slow and calm" for lace of training and skill.
Appreciate it brother I strive for perfection even though it unattainable it’s the fun to push yourself to the limits and beyond
Nice sharp chain, cuts in the proper sequence, second ladder on the back just in case.... and the chain saws are wayyyyy easier than the old Partner K-12's...... Well done..... Some might complain that you weren't on a roof ladder and hooked to it.. but on a 4:12 roof, single story... not that big a deal. I was career and volly for 30 years.....
Made it look like a piece of cake, good work fellas
Very rapid movement. All my training was with the ancient OBA lol! Very difficult to maneuver in. Well done!
The first part reminded me of a fond memory from when I was on the job. When driving to a structure fire, I remember the sound of the jumpmen in the back rustling around getting their gear together. And then there was the sound of the seatbelt alarm sounding the whole way there.
- Greg
Absolutely beautiful job guys!
Late to this party, but I have to say this could be used as a “how to do it right” training video. (Well, maybe the lack of sounding the roof was a little cavalier... 😏) Starting the saw before setting the second ladder is smart as it warms the engine while idling and the potential for problems is reduced. Vent holes cut, with inspection, then off the roof. All of this accomplished in 6 minutes from arrival! Textbook. Then inside for overhaul. The attack crews had serious fire to deal with and it was knocked during that same 6 minute period. What I see is a well led and well trained department. Everyone knows their job and performed it with prejudice. Great job!
Professional firefighting! They knew what to do, when to do it and aggressive when they needed to be. Job well done!!
This is crazy to watch and held my attention through the whole video!
I've never had to fight a real fire, but 20 years in the US Navy and 3 different ships and numerous fire fighting schools I can tell you that those guys have adrenalin flowing like it's the water they are using!
Thank you for your service 🙏🏻
as a roofer. that ridgevent is helping vent that smoke lol. No one is gonna laugh with me on that but... good job buddy you rule thnx for what you do.
He is running around with that ladder like its weights nothing. ❤
Don't forget all the gear he's wearing
Guys did an amazing job
Was worries for a minute that a flashover would occur but didnt, thanks to the vertical ventilation
You guys are awesome!
Thank you men
Dude, after he places that second ladder before he goes up (3:22)you can hear his heart pounding if you’re wearing headphones. Camera must’ve been right on his chest.
Noticed that “God Bless The Ghetto” sticker right off the bat! I put one on mine too 😅
Strong work! Great ladder Ops.
Nice save on this one! Looks like they got the ventilation above the right spot. Only things I would say and this is no disrespect to the poster of this video, Im sure their department had some great teaching from this. I only mean to post to teach junior firemen some pointers:
1. Dont put your helmet on until the truck stops, thats a career ending injury waiting to happen.
2. Dont bring a running chainsaw up a ladder, Keep your team safe.
3. Make sure you sound that roof before you get on.
All in all great job acting fast. The things i mentioned are not a diss at anyone. Just teaching moments, I know ive made plenty of teaching moments myself.
And as always, put the wet stuff on hot suff!
how can putting the helmet on to early hurt someone?
is it a neck injury risk in the truck?
@@ARockRaider yes and its mentioned verbatim in NFPA 1500
Chainsaws have brakes on them. It's perfectly safe.
You're lucky you aren't in Australia we all have Claybrick Roof Tiles, we cant do this .. But we can just crowbar the tiles off as needed... This is much more direct with this roof type ❤🎉 Good job guys house was already gone 😢
We have them in our area also we can manage those just as easily all it takes is a quick size up to determine what’s needed as a proactive firemen it’s not difficult?
Solid work gentleman. Outstanding. 👊🏻🍺
Whatever you’re paid, it’s not enough.
Really impressed by this, great work. I hope the dog that sign referenced was alright
wow. nice job. incredible footage.
Good work guys J Muller was watching over yall. Stay safe
He sure was had his tag on my helmet still running fire with him after 7 years.
Lovely work man. The MF'er exclamation when the chainsaw doesn't start...very relatable indeed.
You need to teach truck op's, if you already haven't done so. I'm a firefighter on an Engine but watched video to review truck op's. Textbook perfect!
Right on brother thank you
There aren’t enough firefighter pov’s
@@JB91710Well if you any Firefighting experience you would know by the volume of smoke and the velocity of it, it greatly improved visibility for the interior crew.
There's enough crap you have to carry without having to worry about a camera too. Not to mention many departments don't allow it.
@@ffjsb personally, I'm not a fan. As a firefighter, you're an agent of public safety, and any recording you make while doing your job is subject to FOIA requests.
And, before you naysayers start using the phrase you use on the police; "well, if you're not doing anything wrong you don't have anything to worry about," let me pose one question......
When's the last time you went to a working fire and did everything just right?
You haven't. Neither have I.
@@brandonseyfried1251 You're preaching to the choir...
Nicely done!
Nice job folks, clean and fast.
GOD just called…..he said he wants his balls back 😂. Damn bro you all are amazing and brave. Ty for your service
For anyone thinking they don't seem to be in any kind of hurry while doing this, they are getting different things ready and once everything is ready the whole chain of folks doing things falls into place.
Slow is smooth.
Smooth is fast.
The fire was out pretty much at 8 minutes, while they were all wearing that heavy hard to see in gear.
Also that chain saw not giving you more problems than it did, could have just decided to take 30 pulls to start and then flooded itself and refuse to work for 30 minutes.
I wonder if any departments have switched to high voltage battery saws. I've used one of the E-Gos a good bit, and it's strong and reliable. No messing around to start it, just shove a battery in, hit the kickback lock, and squeeze
And that, boys and girls, is how truckwork is done.
fire fighters paramedics and first responders in general have my upmost respect
That chainsaw didn't like to run, but it sure as hell loved to cut. Went through that roof like butter. And I don't know how the hell those guys put that out so quickly, but I'm glad they did.
god damn, that looked perfect on both sides of the attack
That guy’s a boss throwing both ladders and cutting the vent by himself
When you want do hood rat things but your friends are just a little slow you have to party alone till they get there.
I got you there as fast as I could.
That much fire put out in less than 10 minutes finally a real fire department
And that's how it's done Folks......strong, strong work.
Excellent work guys!!! A quick size up and knock down. Great job of getting the wet stuff on the red stuff without hesitation.
It's a failure of society to not pay these guys better. They deserve more.
Right off the ladder without sounding the roof. Good way to find yourself in the basement..... Other than that, great job!
What does sounding the roof mean?
@obits3 Taking some type hand tool (ax, pike pole, ex..) and hitting down on the roof to make sure that it is still structurally solid enough to support the weight of a firefighter.
