It starts off looking like a 1000 sq ft quaint brick house with an attic fire until you get around the bush. Then it's like holy crap half the house is missing. This was obviously fully involved before the FD even got there. I commend you for staying back and being respectful. I do have a bit of a problem where that guy on the golf buggy was though. That was too close, and possibly in a position that could interfere with firefighting operations. All in all great video quality. You didn't move too much, no shakiness, no whipping the camera back and forth or rapid frequent zooming, and your jump cuts are smooth and barely noticeable. It is obvious you do this for a living, and I appreciate it.
Great footage! also I gotta say I like how you park far from the scene and away from any staging areas , completely out of the way of the firefighting efforts. Respect!
It is nice to see a FF able to use different patterns from the nozzle. Fire departments today swear by a straight stream. I was a FF in the 70's and that was how we were trained.
"Fire departments today swear by a straight stream" -That's because modern fire science along with over a half century of real world experience has proven solid stream nozzles to be FAR superior.
@@imdjc4 "I see European FFs clips and they're more likely to use the different patterns too" -That is because they still fight fires like it's the 1950's. It's the same reason they use outdated rigid hose reels.
Lots of factors can play into fire advancing quickly even in daylight hours. A well insulated air tight house can cause smoldering for hours unnoticed until an oxygen source can be found. example cracking or breaking of glass from a window from high heat and there is your oxygen introduced causing flash over. This is where your heavy fire volume comes from fast. This is one of many factors you can list forever. Also factor in all the synthetic materials in our furniture that have such a low flash point and burn hot and fast. And also daytime hours are the hardest for most volunteer companies to staff and respond quick. It's definitely an epidemic all over. My dept is in the same boat. We can get 10 guys out after work hours but daytime if we get 2 or three we're doing good. We rely heavily on mutual aid in the day.
I am shocked at the violence of this particular fire. What was that house made of? Balsam wood? I have seen hundreds of these videos, but this one is particularly angry. Are your departments all volunteer? My dad served on our rural fire dept. up until his late 50s. I have always had the highest regard for volunteers and their sacrifices.

Good observation. I see European FFs clips and they're more likely to use the different patterns too.

@@virgilhilts3924 hey virgil --you finally said something I agree with --- but since you are here ---deck gun deck gun
@@virgilhilts3924 Where do you get your facts?
Good video I always wonder how a fire could get that advanced in daytime with people around.

That fire had clearly been burning for a while before they got there. That wasn't a particularly violent fire either.
80% of the US is Volunteer, only City (Class 1) or Partial (Class B) are paid and Class B have only 1 paid driver and and EMT
@@KevinAClassA No. Just NO. You might have some local FD's that operate like that, but that's not how it works.
Whatever you say..
@@KevinAClassA Really. where do you get your facts?
Rural response time a critical factor here?
No house was a arson fire, guy pored gasoline all through the house
Was absolutely no saving
Cor that was a goer,weren't it
It was a lost cause upon arrival. No saving that home.
Hope no one was in there
