at 18 seconds in the video engine pulls up and makes complete stop, at 45 seconds deck gun is started on fire from onboard water supply to start initial quick knock down , at 1:46 water begins to flow to truck from hydrant, everyone has hustle, back up engines come from opposite direction in case there was a blocked street, this is one highly trained, professional Fire Company. Outstanding Fire Department. well done!!
There is one minor difficulty though. Getting set up well or properly can be a little difficult because each fire scene is different and the intersection won't always be the same. Like if one occurs in the middle of the block. This one happened to be at an intersection. But that's why we drill often.
This department is an example of a textbook response. Great job and this community is very fortunate to have such a well trained, and well equipped department.
We pulled up on the scene within 5 minutes of dispatch. The house was already fully involved. We used our deck gun which we refer to as quick water while the crew pulled a 2" handline. There was a firefighter from a nearby community who was in the area and he pulled 5" to get permanent water. Had it all knocked down in 10 minutes and ready for overhaul.
Good job getting water quick. A few questions about your attack. How many gallons is the water tank? Why pull back to hydrant instead of forward lay? Did you guys know the off duty guy was going to be waiting at the hydrant to reverse lay? Why didn't he flush the hydrant? Why deploy the 2" before getting water supply? You guys ok with doors opening before anchor locks are pulled? Thanks for the reply if you can.
Our community is served by a Department of Public Safety meaning all police officers are also trained as firefighters and first responders. They are able to assist even if they don’t dress.
Really nice to see a fire department use a deck gun for it's intended purpose rather than pulling an 1 3/4" inch line just because it's pre-connected. Great job by the Delavan Fire Department. Quick knockdown and establishing a water supply.
Can't go interior with a deck gun. Since you seem to be a fireman, I assume you know that an aggressive interior attack is the best way to put out a fire?
@@danielmorgan5401 As far as I could tell from the amount of fire that was visible on the video, it did not look like an interior attack was feasible. It appeared that fire building was already a total loss and would be a defensive fire operation. In that situation the first priority (assuming no life safety issue existed) was to contain the fire to the involved occupancy. In similar situations I have seen a lot of videos where 1 3/4" pre-connects are pulled when a much greater volume of the wet stuff on the red stuff should be applied and the fire spreads to adjacent exposures. Delvan used the deck gun to great effect in a defensive operation to achieve a quick knockdown thereby containing the fire and protecting the exposures. I agree with your statement that the best way to conduct an offensive fire attack is an aggressive interior fire attack with 1 3/4" or 2" attack lines (preferably using class a foam) and appropriate support operations such as ventilation. But for a defensive operation give me as much water as possible; deck guns, ground moniters, blitzfires, ladder pipes, 21/2" lines etc. , the more the merrier.
Hands down, the best attack I've ever seen on YT. The big deck guns cost the taxpayers major money, yet they rarely get used! This department needs an award for their training and handling of a fully involved doubtful. Awesome job guys!
Story has it that a senior firefighter arrived first and quickly scoped out the scene. Then gave orders for the first arriving to use the deck gun. Great job with planning ahead!!!!! Also, great job at quick water hookup!
I have watched the Delavan FD in action even with their practice fires as a Fire/Incident photographer. The Nieuwenhuis brothers were very involved at the time I was there. I will say that MANY of the fire departments in Walworth County (Wisconsin) work together like a well oiled machine and the thing you will notice is HUSTLE. They don't casually just walk around or are in complete chaos yelling & screaming at each other like I have seen on some YT videos. They really have it together! I was proud to work with them.
Awesome job by the first engine to actually attack the fire with some water. Seems like every fire video I watch, the first responders are always lollygagging around for 10 minutes before attacking the fire. Really enjoyed this video.
Now that's what I am talking about! You guys had it knocked and had water, before 2nd due arrived. It's not your fault that it had advanced to a large trash fire before you got there but you stopped it in it's tracks and protected exposures! Great Job.
BIG initial hit (good thing that hydrant was so close), jogging firemen, first hand line protected the B exposure, AND the cameraman was considerate enough to stay across the street and well out of the way of the firefighters. So much win in this video. I hope the hydrant was clean enough that they could get away without flushing it first.
That engine/tanker had 2500 gallons of water, enough for 2 minutes of water flow. Plenty to knock down major fire. Establishing the water supply within 2 minutes was icing on the cake
EXCELLENT! Use that 500 -1,000 gallons of water on your pumper FIRST! That's why it's there. Delavan had water on the fire, knocking it down considerably, as it took about two minutes for the engineer with the help of a few other to lead off at the hydrant. The deluge gun on the engine probably didn't use 200 gallons before the new water from the hydrant was in its tank. I keep thinking or the Cincinnati fire Lieutenant who teaches on UA-cam, "For us, JOB ONE is to get water on the fire." What a difference five wasted minutes make in letting the fire spread... even to the neighboring building. I have watched responses on UA-cam when it too over ten minutes to get water on the fire. Kudos to Delevan!!!
Solid work, amazing critical thinking. I'm personally shocked how only one pumper extinguished the fire before additional trucks arrived on scene. Great work by the Delavan Fire Department. This is the best firefighting footage I can ever see on UA-cam until now.
Damn, a minute & 15 seconds after the truck stops they've got water flowing to it from the hydrant. Kudos to Johnny hustle getting the supply line hooked up so quick. Was he an off duty firefighter from this department?
Great job! hit it fast and hard. Awesome. everyone did there job. Great to see and department that cares about saving property and lives. Your community should be proud.
Mike, it was a challenging location because the street is 3 blocks long but each block is cut off from the next as in three separate "U"s. Normally our first due engine doesn't tag a hydrant but it did there to get the deck gun supplied. We carry 2,000 gallons so it's 4 minutes and we are out. The LDH was a quick tactical choice to protect exposures. I was the officer on the aerial and we suspected the engine took the first drive so we took the second. Lucky guess.
We watched this video in a fire meeting once and the training officer pointed out how fast y'all got hoses ready and started spraying etc.. Great job guys and keep up the good work!
Can't believe that in the 6 years that your comment was posted, there weren't a bunch of responses Monday morning quarterbacking the crap out of it. Haven't seen one fire video where someone isn't criticizing.
@@joed9491 95% of USA fire departments have no clue what the JOB is or how to perform it. There are going to be a Lot of negative commenters. I, am the most critical and outspoken of them all. I expose every department that goes to a fire with their head up their asses and the commenters who worship them for Just Joining Up, Dressing Up and Showing Up. This department belongs to a very small and exclusive club of competent firefighters. The 5% Club. Here are the rest of them. Notice how boring the videos are. They arrive, find what's burning and put water on it. No Hero BS or adrenaline rush theatrics. ua-cam.com/play/PLkp0E1ao1XEzVPjO25G1-RKOlj9Xlgfzt.html P.S. I'm Old Skier too.
Awesome job. Nice to see someone knows what a deck gun is great for. Lots of water very fast for a quick knockdown while lines are set up. 1 firefighter with a big pump and tank can do a lot in a hurry. Excellent water supply crew too, 1 minute from first hose pull to charged supply line.
Well done. Good controlled hustle. Everyone knew what to do. I think they have practiced and trained well. Perfect time to use the deck gun with onboard water while water supply is set up. Protected exposures with hand lines. It probably was not a candidate for an interior attack but they did what they could. Also I see that additional equipment came in from different directions maybe intentionally in case on way was blocked?
Excellent work! Got water on the fire with in seconds of arriving. Deck gun definitely what was needed. Didn't see men pulling 600 feet of supply line off the truck when only 200 feet was needed and hooked up immediately instead of dropping supply line in the middle of the street and walking off and leaving it there. Have seen too much of that in other videos.
Great move on using the deck gun for the knock down. Great job on getting the water supply to the truck. Great job done for the first due in engine !! This fire dept. is well trained !!
Excellent response immediately taking water from the pumpers tank while the crew hooks up to the hydrant. Very professional. They had that fire knocked down within minutes.
Loved how everyone knew what to do, House was to far gone for any possible interior attack so they immediately got the deck gun in action and stretched a line to protect exposures, all while having a supply established. Very good teamwork.
my firehouse is in queens ny were a volunteer fire department who responds with fdny companies this is an excellent stop in fire and great way to knock down a big fire means big water.... great job brothers
Que magnifica intervención de esa máquina, y el excelente trabajo del equipo humano, . Se atacó de frente y valerosamente a el fuego 🔥. . Con una sola máquina y su personal, controlaron y casi extinguen el fuego 🔥, muchas felicidades 🎉🎈🎊🍾. Son un gran equipo
Amazing job. Your citizens should be grateful and proud of the pros in this department. You firemen should be proud of yourselves. Set up a 'for profit' training academy for some of the horrible efforts we see from various departments on YT
Fucking bravo on the blitz and getting the hydrant charged so fast! Excellent job guys. This is what other departments need to watch to show the proper use of a blitz attack on a fully involved dwelling. NICE! Truck came in from the right direction and the second engine placement was spot on. Text book great job.
that was very impressive, Hitting the fire with the firetrucks tankwater with the deck gun. while the firefighters connected to a water source. Very impressive
Great job. Hope they have others who also video'd this job. It should be a great training tool showing THE RIGHT WAY to do it. Congrats, and how lucky can you get? A Hydrant, almost across from the job. This shows how effective training, and the right use of tools actually DO WORK.
Now THAT is the way to hustle on a fire!!! GREAT job getting that master stream on the fire within seconds!! Those guys are what other departments should strive for.
Excellent job with knockdown and water supply. Like someone said already, kudo's to the commanding officer for knowing the house wasn't salvageable and going for knockdown and exposure protection. Pulling just handlines would have been very risky for the adjacent properties.
Great attack. Everyone knew there job and multiple tasks were completed simultaneously. Props to the 2nd in Engine for taking the hydrant and the Truck for coming in the opposite side of the street. This should be a textbook example of an aggressive and efficient exterior attack.
This is a good fire team not frightened of using water straight away on the fire this fire dept needs to do some training of the other fire depts around that turn up wonder around armed with tools then finally when the building is almost burnt down put the water on it
2000 gallons and tandem axle? I figured it would have held more than that. One department I'm on is rebuilding an old pumper into a pumper/tanker with a 2000 gallon tank and only has to do a single rear axle
You know, At first I was gonna comment and be critical of the wailing of the mechanical siren while arriving on scene as this is a pet peeve of mine, then I was gonna comment on the initial hand line stretch dumped on the front lawn...However, all things considered, outstanding job getting the problem solved ASAP. Thats a well trained crew. NICE WORK!
On of the very few videos where there is a very good job with deck gun, the house was fully involved but they showed a very professional work controlling the fire fast and avoiding damage to the next house.
This is what I really want to read.... respect for our first responders. They risk their own lives for all of us, every second of every day. We just had a major fire here two years ago, I'm still having nightmares over it. But, I think that it would have been worse for us if something had gotten injured or killed.
Great use of the deck gun, and a quick water supply... Just curious as to lay out of this development, like is this an open block, or like a development with single access etc.? I saw the aerial come in from the other way so clearly there was access from that side... Just not a big fan of LDH dropping down the center of the street and making access a bit harder... But by far one of the most impressive water supply hook ups/use of a deck gun/quick knocks for fire volume Ive seen on here
Every fire co should have a piece of equipment like that.Big water like that can save lives and property affords quick attack while hooking to hydrant and dragging lines
My only critique is on your FD style of stretching the line. See here in Detroit the engine stops at the hydrant and a firefighter grabs the line and signals for the engine to go thus stretching the line. So when the firefighters get out the rig, the line is hooked to the hydrant already.
Excellent response and actions , you can get the deck gun in use in no time , good for some initial knock down , exposures , quick hydrant hook up , good job all around .
We’ve has So many bad house fires on my street, I have PTSS from them. Lucky nobody were harmed or worse. When I hear fire sirens, I like freeze in the spot I’m in. Stay safe.

When you take your time, but do it right and do it fast, you can achieve anything in a matter of time.

This is by far the most impressive fire video I've ever seen congratulations Delavan Fire Department quick react
Most departments dont use the deck gun enough
Your point though?
Because it’s not always needed or can’t get to where it is needed that’s what ground monitors are for.
All Fire Departments should be shown this video. That's how it done great job!
Could have done without every single officer pegging the Q, or that first guy honking at absolutely nothing.
these guys should be commended for getting water on the fire so quickly.......

Great use of the deck gun, and a quick water supply... Just curious as to lay out of this development, like is this an open block, or like a development with single access etc.? I saw the aerial come in from the other way so clearly there was access from that side... Just not a big fan of LDH dropping down the center of the street and making access a bit harder... But by far one of the most impressive water supply hook ups/use of a deck gun/quick knocks for fire volume Ive seen on here
Every fire co should have a piece of equipment like that.Big water like that can save lives and property affords quick attack while hooking to hydrant and dragging lines
My only critique is on your FD style of stretching the line. See here in Detroit the engine stops at the hydrant and a firefighter grabs the line and signals for the engine to go thus stretching the line. So when the firefighters get out the rig, the line is hooked to the hydrant already.
Excellent response and actions , you can get the deck gun in use in no time , good for some initial knock down , exposures , quick hydrant hook up , good job all around .
gotta love deck gun there life savers and time savers especially if your short on manpower
Heck yea, boys! Strong work!
Wow! The best first on scene yet!
Behold! The power of the deck gun! Nice attack.
Great job you guys.. from L.A. County fd...
Great job here from what we can see. Lot's of quick work done by one single fire company for the first 4-5 minutes.
VERY GOOD job and quick knock down with the deck gun ! It pays to have a 2000 gallon tank on your truck ......
A 500 gall tank had allowed the same. The fire was controled in 30 seconds, then mop with remaining water.
That's one thing that gets a neighborhood together, is a house on 🔥. People (you) never knew come talk to you
We’ve has So many bad house fires on my street, I have PTSS from them. Lucky nobody were harmed or worse. When I hear fire sirens, I like freeze in the spot I’m in. Stay safe.
First siren very noisy but nice..like it
Fantastic use of a master stream device!
