Okay people.... Yes, the firefighters started the fire. It was for training (as she said in the video)! Sometimes, people will donate cars, and even houses to the fire department so that they can train in real life scenarios, instead of using the same ol burn building that never actually burns down. And I can nearly promise that they're going to build a new, maybe even bigger house on this lot. If firefighters didn't train like this, they might not be prepared to save your life if your house starts burning down. Real life scenarios seem to be the best way to train...
For those wondering why they let this house burn to the ground is because it was going to be demolished. Contractors often call fire departments to come practice on old houses that need to be destroyed so the contractors can save thousands of dollars by avoiding the hard labor of demolishing a house.
Ok, for all of yall wondering why they are burning down a house. Its a controlled fire and most likely used for cadet training, and the house was most likely removed for a bigger building.
Firefighters saved my home from being destroyed by a house fire that broke out in my neighbours home (our houses were attached) so much respect for these guys
As a former volunteer firefighter these training fires were a great way to put new firefighters in what it is like to be in an actual fire. It can be a way to see if any firefighters have developed any bad habits that they picked up over the years. Years ago when I was a member of an Explorer program we were brought in to knock down out first fire, there nothing better than to be on the nozzle fighting your first fire.
I seriously respect fire fighters so much. Risking their lives to save those of others, and also the shelter & investmemts they have made❤ God bless you all
The city of Indianapolis did a training burn on my sister's old home she had rented for sev yrs. They lost nothing of course, but some great memories from those yrs, so still sad to see the place burn. Makes you think how terrible it would be to actually lose everything in a fire possibly incl family members.
Today my neighbour’s house got burned. There were a lot of firefighters and a lot of witnesses including me. Thank god everyone survived. It was my first time seeing a fire crisis. I pity the victims. I saw the firefighter’s truck. I look inside and there’s a lot of equipments there. Theres a very long ladder too. Alright, alright. Im gonna tell you how the house got burned. - It was raining heavily - A lot of thunderstorms - Their power bank exploded 3 times Don’t worry. Everyone is safe. We just went to random neighbour’s houses and stay there while the firefighters take down the fire. It was a fun experience. Thank you firefighters, you all really saved my neighbours’ lives. Including me, of course. Moral of this crisis: Don’t play with your phone while charging. It will explode.
I been a firefighter for 15years, it’s good they are doing this live burn evolution because it’s the closet you’ll get to a fire as per training wise, we train very often because of the job we do .It helps us with remembrance and being able to refreshen our memories because of the different types of fire we encounter on a day to day basic.
I've been on training burns with houses 90X nicer than this that they burned down. In one instance we burned down a mansion, so the owner can build a bigger mansion 15ft closer to the lake. No lie....lol
Y'all don't know how well fighting fire with fire works... and the pain of drying, managing and rolling a shit ton of hose. Respect to all volunteer and career firefighters out there..
"The real heroes do not wear tight suits, they do not imitate spiders or bats, they can not fly. And however, sometimes they die trying to do it!" A phrase about firefighters. Regards from Venezuela.
Brings back memories of when our house went up in flames one night. Luckily we all made it out. A old space heater caught the curtains on fire. This was back in mid 90s
I read some really ignorant comments here. Emily congratulations on this video. I am sure you learned quite a bit while doing this video. I hope you come away with the respect towards firefighters deserve and pass on what you have learned to others. I have in the past worked with female firefighters at alarms and they are a equal to male firefighters. It can be a difficult job but very rewarding. Stay safe.......
+pipesmoker Exactly what Im saying. You really didnt have to mention the part about females and males because we all look the same after our faces are blackened and we stink from sweat and smoke
Maybe so but when I was a volunteer some of our guys were very clear about no wanting to work with females on the line and did not want to have them in our district. Having worked side by side with both men and women I know first hand that females are equal to men. I personally do not have the endurance that some guys have but I always broke a sweat. I was always willing to have help, male or female. I was always willing to help also. Maybe i over reacted to your comment but reading what comments that were here and listened to others make negative comments regarding females in this type of work but anyone male or female who will spend the day in turnout gear and experience what a firefighter goes through deserves praise not negative comments.
Not all Fire Fighters can do it. They put the uniform on, show up and think their job is done. Someone who Thinks, uses common sense and logic and actually CARES about saving property is a Real fire fighter. The rest just fill a void.
I'm curious about this house and if anyone knows about it, what year is this house and why were they using it for training? Was there something wrong with the house? Someone said in the comments it was abandoned, why?
The house was not abandoned. The city of Vancouver bought the homes from owners because the land was going to be commercially developed. The homes were going to be torn down regardless. So instead of tearing them down, the fire department used them for training.
For those wondering why they let this house burn to the ground is because it was going to be demolished.

I like seeing when reporters get involved in training like these. I think that more people outside the fire service need to get more experience to really understand what it takes to be not only a firefighter, but any other job as a first responder.
1:20 Notice how a solid stream at close distance does not put the fire out quickly. If you adjust the nozzle to a 35-50% cone and wave it around, you will cover a much wider area faster and the flames will be extinguished in 2-3 seconds because wet material can't burn. Notice how much area s NOT getting wet with the solid stream. That hot burning material will take the fine mist coming of the solid stream and turn it into the dreaded steam FFers are so worried about. The Opposite of what they Think is actually the truth. Get the material wet as fast as possible.
you're right...to an extent. the fire is already vented. if the fire has not been vented or vented itself, that is when to worry about steam burn. a cone pattern will disrupt the thermal layering and can burn you. if the room is vented, the heat will go up
of course the big issue with training in this style is theres no massive plastics burning at twice the flash-point temperature in an oxygen starved environment.. no furniture in unknown configuration to trip over like in a real occupied structure.. plastics, wax, particle board, electronics etc all burn incredibly hot.. im not a firefighter but ive been around enough of them to learn a little about what happens when a fire breaks out in a modern home.. as garage full of gascans, aerosol cans , even propane tankls and a car is a SCARY site to see go up..
Chris Not being a fire fighter gives you an Advantage over experienced and trained FFers. You don't have brain dead tactics clouding you head that have nothing to do with extinguishing what's burning. You can focus on your common sense and logic. If you see something burning, put water on it. If there's too much smoke, open the windows. Don't supply areas with oxygen if you aren't ready to apply water. Don't climb on the roof of a burning building. A lot of problems can be solved just by using common sense. Fire fighting colleges and instructors like to complicate things to make their jobs seem more difficult.. They actually Make it more difficult by not getting to the point. Watch FFing from other countries to see how it should be done. They get to the point.
I dont believe I have an advantage over experienced and trained FFers.. there are certain tactics that make sense.. I once watched a chief save the majority of a house by using a Thermal camera.. noting there likely wasnt fire in the attic but the second story was coming apart.. he sent guys to the roof to cut small holes and apply water using the idea that water in the attic would collapse the ceilings and flood the fire, along with water going in the second floor windows.. was this a good tactic? I have no idea. whether it was by "the book": or not but the fire was definitely knocked down before they ever introduced oxygen by entering the first floor.. it sure made the interior attack much quicker.. to me that was a good move and something that experience would bring.. I agree that the objective is to see fire spray fire, knock down then overhaul.. but alot of factors play in...
Chris I would have to see what they did but it didn't Sound to good. Sure there is a lot of great equipment, but the vast majority of fire fighters don't know how or when to apply it. There is very little good reason to be on a roof of a burning building. Roof venting doesn't work like they think at all. A structure is not a Chimney and can't work like one. But that's not the Real reason. When they introduce air into a smoldering attic, all the material burst into flame and creates a huge amount of pressure. The hole they cut can't release that pressure enough so the attic becomes a high pressure Cork in the bottle. Heat on the lower floors can't rise up to the hole even if it could get through the ceiling. (Damper). You release pressure a floor at a time as you go up by opening the top sash of the windows in rooms that are affected by Fire not just smoke. The pressure created in one burning room will try to be released through an unburned room if you open the window. High pressure to lower pressure. There is some science involve in fire fighting but main stream departments have not thought it through.
can i ask a genuine question, why is it that the majority of houses built in the US are constructed mainly from wood, considering the likelihood of fires within a particular state due to arsonists/criminal damage or even weather etc? wouldn't it be cheaper to convert buildings being built into something designed with a concrete structure, especially when taking the cost of building more houses, and or repair costs into consideration? im mearly surmising, thanks
Nice video of how quickly fire spreads through a house. Subtitles of spoken text would have been a help. Often hear that it takes a long time from when the fire crew arrives to when they actually are putting water on the fire. Perhaps a good topic for a future video?
Actually, it really doesn't take long at all. The engine is ready usually within 2 minutes tops to pump water after arrival. It's a case by case thing, because in real house fires they send firefighters to first find a way in, then try to determine the source of the blaze. What usually takes so long from what I've seen is determining how to route the fire hose so it doesn't get punctured. Like I said, it's case by case because no house is the same. I'm not a professional or volunteer firefighter, so don't quote me on any of that. That's just my past experience of watching house fires and procedures leading to my conclusion.
We (or at least my department and one's I've worked with in my area) actually train a lot to speed up the time from arrival to flowing water to getting hooked into the hydrant. IE: we show up and, if the fire is significant or can become significant (IE: Room and contents), we will lay 5 inch hose from the hydrant and drive it to the house. It is then hooked in once the truck stops. Meanwhile one or two men (depending on a few factors, chiefly manpower) connect the five inch to the hydrant (it is often wrapped around the hydrant to safely lay out the five inch as the truck drives from the hydrant to the scene, thus not putting unneeded stress on connections) and prepping to open the hydrant. However, as soon as the truck stops, the attack team goes to work. before the hydrant is hooked up to the truck, they pull hose that is already connected from the cross lay (found under the pump panel at the deck on our engines) these are already setup and connected to the pump with a nozzle on the end all we have to do is pull it off and advance on the fire. Because we have a reservoir of water we can begin tackling the fire almost immediately on arrival. Obviously the hydrant team has to get the hydrant flowing to the truck as soon as possible to continue the attack and avoid leaving the attack team in a tight spot. Thus, we practice regularly to improve the efficiency of this task so all of this becomes second nature.
Why did they use this house for training? Was the house deemed unfit for living? Set to be demolished? If there are any firemen who can reply I'm quite interested, cheers :-)
Most of the time the Fire Dept. will be called by the home owner requesting for the local FD to burn the house for them. This makes room for a new structure or whatever the land owner wants. It gives the fire dept a great training opportunity to do what firefighter are known for but dont often see, and that is fight fire.
For those wondering why they let this house burn to the ground is because it was going to be demolished. Contractors often call fire departments to come practice on old houses that need to be destroyed so the contractors can save thousands of dollars by avoiding the hard labor of demolishing a house
Interesting fact most people don't know, even when you have a thirty minute tank on your SCBA (self contained breathing apparatus) the oxygen only lasts about 12-17 minutes, varying from person to person.
+Dicky Mac Another interesting fact. SCBA isn't filled with oxygen. It is filled with the same air you are breathing right now. Just kidding. I know what you meant. lol
That's only if you don't train. I make a 30 minute bottle last at least 25 minutes before the low air alarm starts vibrating. After that, I have about 5 more minutes before I'm empty. Interested fact, skip breathing makes your air last longer. Breathe in, half, breathe in, hold, breathe out, hold, repeat.
Start as early as you can! Volunteer or participate in an explorers program near you. I started later (26) and im behind the 8 ball on guys 5 or 6 years younger than me!

Why are these firefighters standing up in a burning building. In all my firefighter training we have been told over and over to never stand up in a burning structure
Nathanael Leinbach To answer your question Nathan, I am a FF in South Jersey. The reason they are able to stand is because ordinary combustibles, what you would call a CLASS A fire, burn at a much lower temperature (especially hay). If you noticed in firefighting training, most of your instructors were probably standing up. The reason you are taught to crawl is because it is extremely important to do in an ordinary house that is actually full of daily life combustibles that burn at a much higher temperature. Very rarely in a REAL fire will you be standing up unless the fire has ceased or you are doing overhaul.
we saw a house go up in flames and burn to the ground in ten minutes btw nobody was home and it was down the street from our house so it wasnt our house
I get that it’s training but what would be the difference between training in this and training in a house that caught on fire naturally. They just ruined a house and released smoke into the atmosphere.
The house was donated. Houses are often donated to firefighters for training purposes. There’s a big difference between a practice house vs an actual emergency . The practice house doesn’t let off as much toxins and chemicals, because it’s empty. With an actual structure fire emergency, that’s not a good time to actually practice, especially if you’re not experienced with going inside burning buildings. That’s the easiest way to freeze and get yourself and others hurt, due to the lack of training and experience.
A practice house won’t typically contain the same amount of obstruction as a regular filled house. Practice homes are usually empty. So it’s equivalent to a giant camp fire. An actual house with a tv, stove, and all sorts of electrical currents, that will put off much more chemicals into the atmosphere
It’s very important to practice before performing. You don’t Perform before practice, otherwise you’d be looking for trouble at that point. Structures catch fire all the time anyhow. A practice fire won’t exactly reduce an atmospheres compromise .
Because you can’t “train” in a true house fire where a person’s home is at risk. By doing this, they get much more use, and learn several tactics in a less urgent atmosphere. You can think clearly.
You ever see it roll across the ceiling like that? Its neat. Then you put the wet stuff on it and the flames turn to steam and collapses to the floor. That's why there's a vapor barrier in the bunker gear they wear.
1. Fix your gaskets they shouldn’t leak that much 2. That hose line was certainly not at operating pressure 3. Poor hose work or instruction regardless - 4. Not at all how a fire gets extinguished you can’t see a damn thing - - resume 20 years in A very busy urban fire dept Yes it’s a training fire - but leaking gaskets on the pump panel tells me bad maintenance up front Apologies for being critical but I know the job- we aren’t hero’s - we don’t deserve special credit
Its very interesting to watch but when you enter a house fire and apply water the first thing that happens is you lose visibility and the steam produced by the water expands 1700 times to cook you, you have to know when to use water and when to use the light of the fire to enable a rescue.
May God provide intellectual, physical and spiritual power and strength to the fire fighter department team-the fire fighter officers, vehicle maintenance group, call center team n overall team. May God empower and bless you all and ur family for the noble work of saving lives while risking one's life and forest fire safety through fire helicopters. Salute to every firefighter!! Amen!!....
My neighbors house caught fire earlier today so me "14" I decided to step up to the challenge of saving there house because the fire department is 45 minutes away so I called 911 and then I broke there glass door so I could check if anybody was stuck inside so I cleared the house I was able to put out the fire before the firefighters arrived
I have two ferrets and a dog and a BIG home my dog sleeps in a crate and my ferrets in my room I have a fire ladder in my room but I don't know about everyone else not only that but I can't hall anyone if the fire is in the laundry room because that is right outside my room and I am terrified

exactly, in fact it is a cheap way to deal with an old building, you end up with way less material to remove so you save big time on demo costs.
No wonder there wasn’t any furniture
Yeah but this is a waste of a house someone could’ve just moved in there I would move into that house
UH OH STINKY POOOP Most likely somebody bought the lot and is going to build their own house ... so they had to get rid of the original one
God bless all these guys.. They all deserve medals and lots of love... They are real life heroes..
if any firefighters are watching thank you for the risks you take every day
thank you miller

You are correct! The house was going to be demolished anyway for a housing development.

It was opposite day for them kinda...
We should all respect the police and the fire department cause they risk there lives to save us

Yes, but there must be a reason thus house was donated
likely was a meth lab. Every house we burned was either a meth lab or crack house unfit to be lived in due to chemicals used.
Y'all don't know how well fighting fire with fire works... and the pain of drying, managing and rolling a shit ton of hose. Respect to all volunteer and career firefighters out there..
You don't fight a house fire with fire. You can use fire to fight a wild fire.

JB91710 you open up in a straight stream then adjust accordingly
JB91710 How to put out a fire: Carry your house on your head and throw it into the ocean
They used hay bales soild stream helps penetrate through those bales.
you're right...to an extent. the fire is already vented. if the fire has not been vented or vented itself, that is when to worry about steam burn. a cone pattern will disrupt the thermal layering and can burn you. if the room is vented, the heat will go up
Why do they put the building on fire?
You guys need to make a film with the Yakima fire dept or west valley fire dept
Hope you are ok
Was this an example house or an actual persons house?
No.
It was a training fire in a home that was donated for them to burn down.
of course the big issue with training in this style is theres no massive plastics burning at twice the flash-point temperature in an oxygen starved environment.. no furniture in unknown configuration to trip over like in a real occupied structure.. plastics, wax, particle board, electronics etc all burn incredibly hot.. im not a firefighter but ive been around enough of them to learn a little about what happens when a fire breaks out in a modern home.. as garage full of gascans, aerosol cans , even propane tankls and a car is a SCARY site to see go up..

The pressure created in one burning room will try to be released through an unburned room if you open the window. High pressure to lower pressure. There is some science involve in fire fighting but main stream departments have not thought it through.
Still better then the burn building
Was this training
Wonder If you say to a Firefighter. Can you turn on the candle and when he/she Said “nope i Can only turn it off”
what head cam do they use
can i ask a genuine question, why is it that the majority of houses built in the US are constructed mainly from wood, considering the likelihood of fires within a particular state due to arsonists/criminal damage or even weather etc? wouldn't it be cheaper to convert buildings being built into something designed with a concrete structure, especially when taking the cost of building more houses, and or repair costs into consideration? im mearly surmising, thanks
Nice video of how quickly fire spreads through a house. Subtitles of spoken text would have been a help. Often hear that it takes a long time from when the fire crew arrives to when they actually are putting water on the fire. Perhaps a good topic for a future video?
Actually, it really doesn't take long at all. The engine is ready usually within 2 minutes tops to pump water after arrival. It's a case by case thing, because in real house fires they send firefighters to first find a way in, then try to determine the source of the blaze. What usually takes so long from what I've seen is determining how to route the fire hose so it doesn't get punctured. Like I said, it's case by case because no house is the same. I'm not a professional or volunteer firefighter, so don't quote me on any of that. That's just my past experience of watching house fires and procedures leading to my conclusion.
We (or at least my department and one's I've worked with in my area) actually train a lot to speed up the time from arrival to flowing water to getting hooked into the hydrant. IE: we show up and, if the fire is significant or can become significant (IE: Room and contents), we will lay 5 inch hose from the hydrant and drive it to the house. It is then hooked in once the truck stops. Meanwhile one or two men (depending on a few factors, chiefly manpower) connect the five inch to the hydrant (it is often wrapped around the hydrant to safely lay out the five inch as the truck drives from the hydrant to the scene, thus not putting unneeded stress on connections) and prepping to open the hydrant. However, as soon as the truck stops, the attack team goes to work. before the hydrant is hooked up to the truck, they pull hose that is already connected from the cross lay (found under the pump panel at the deck on our engines) these are already setup and connected to the pump with a nozzle on the end all we have to do is pull it off and advance on the fire. Because we have a reservoir of water we can begin tackling the fire almost immediately on arrival. Obviously the hydrant team has to get the hydrant flowing to the truck as soon as possible to continue the attack and avoid leaving the attack team in a tight spot. Thus, we practice regularly to improve the efficiency of this task so all of this becomes second nature.
I wouldn’t be afraid to go into burning buildings
What is the music at the beginning
Why did they use this house for training? Was the house deemed unfit for living? Set to be demolished? If there are any firemen who can reply I'm quite interested, cheers :-)
Most of the time the Fire Dept. will be called by the home owner requesting for the local FD to burn the house for them. This makes room for a new structure or whatever the land owner wants. It gives the fire dept a great training opportunity to do what firefighter are known for but dont often see, and that is fight fire.
For those wondering why they let this house burn to the ground is because it was going to be demolished.
Contractors often call fire departments to come practice on old houses that need to be destroyed so the contractors can save thousands of dollars by avoiding the hard labor of demolishing a house
Interesting fact most people don't know, even when you have a thirty minute tank on your SCBA (self contained breathing apparatus) the oxygen only lasts about 12-17 minutes, varying from person to person.
+Dicky Mac Another interesting fact. SCBA isn't filled with oxygen. It is filled with the same air you are breathing right now. Just kidding. I know what you meant. lol
That's only if you don't train. I make a 30 minute bottle last at least 25 minutes before the low air alarm starts vibrating. After that, I have about 5 more minutes before I'm empty.
Interested fact, skip breathing makes your air last longer. Breathe in, half, breathe in, hold, breathe out, hold, repeat.
I can make a 2216 tank last longer than 30 minutes.
Being a firefighter is a career path I might consider taking. When I get old enough I might try volunteering or something of the sorts.
i have alway wanted to be a fire fighter
您的影片太短了不能完整 的播送完畢
I’m watching because I’ve got one year till I can become a volunteer with my grandfather
I tried to do what they did here with a garden hose. It didn't work.
Do they not use gloves
As told my granddad, he was a firefighter: "A burned thing won't be rotten".
Where I am a house near our neighborhood was caught on fire and burnt down multiple houses
This leaned me wen u leave a fire ut spreads and I learned that you can use different stuff thnx helped me a lot
I want to be a fire fighter when I'm older. Like if u want to be a fire fighter to
Meeeeee tooo btw im 13
Start as early as you can! Volunteer or participate in an explorers program near you. I started later (26) and im behind the 8 ball on guys 5 or 6 years younger than me!
Thank you Jesus for life everyday!
Why are you doing this for firefighters
I guess this must've been _Opposite Day.._
In A Burning House Is A Dog Saying : "This Is Fine."
Why would u burn a house? U could have sell it-.-

Because they were given it for training. How else are they going to learn?
I was just thinking most peoples first reaction to a house fire is run away from it fire fighters first reaction *puts helmets on* run towards it
My father takes risks every 2 days working 24 hr shifts at the fire dept. if you think thats not brave yu need ti be in their shoes.
I feel kinda sad... that house was still a lot nicer than my house, even after the first couple fires...
2:11 fire fighters with a flame thrower, interesting
Grant English ?Lollo
Lplllplll
Grant English Fight fire with fire.
It was a training fire...
Its NOT a flamethrower. Just a torch.
I will hire him to stop us from the zombie apocalypse
she is like the most adorable adult women ever
Perv
How is he a perv or a creeper
My uncles house burned down today 😔...
I guess there training was worthless
?
Why do I expect to see them running into the fire?
Not a real fire , bit of training, controlled. Good training, real house fires are so different . Great job
Why are these firefighters standing up in a burning building. In all my firefighter training we have been told over and over to never stand up in a burning structure
Nathanael Leinbach To answer your question Nathan, I am a FF in South Jersey. The reason they are able to stand is because ordinary combustibles, what you would call a CLASS A fire, burn at a much lower temperature (especially hay). If you noticed in firefighting training, most of your instructors were probably standing up. The reason you are taught to crawl is because it is extremely important to do in an ordinary house that is actually full of daily life combustibles that burn at a much higher temperature. Very rarely in a REAL fire will you be standing up unless the fire has ceased or you are doing overhaul.
we saw a house go up in flames and burn to the ground in ten minutes btw nobody was home and it was down the street from our house so it wasnt our house
thanks to every fire fighter, there was an electricity tower burning near our house but they risked and saved us, thanks
looks fun but must seem scary in real situations
2:10 now that's a job I am willing to do without payment
Most firefighters in the US are volunteers.
Card declines for fire rescue:
2018? Anybody
just be careful cuz you never know you might run out of air
there's a gauge on the air pack (SCBA) that she was wearing that tells her how much air she has.
I get that it’s training but what would be the difference between training in this and training in a house that caught on fire naturally. They just ruined a house and released smoke into the atmosphere.
The house was donated. Houses are often donated to firefighters for training purposes. There’s a big difference between a practice house vs an actual emergency . The practice house doesn’t let off as much toxins and chemicals, because it’s empty. With an actual structure fire emergency, that’s not a good time to actually practice, especially if you’re not experienced with going inside burning buildings. That’s the easiest way to freeze and get yourself and others hurt, due to the lack of training and experience.
A practice house won’t typically contain the same amount of obstruction as a regular filled house. Practice homes are usually empty. So it’s equivalent to a giant camp fire. An actual house with a tv, stove, and all sorts of electrical currents, that will put off much more chemicals into the atmosphere
It’s very important to practice before performing. You don’t Perform before practice, otherwise you’d be looking for trouble at that point. Structures catch fire all the time anyhow. A practice fire won’t exactly reduce an atmospheres compromise .
Because you can’t “train” in a true house fire where a person’s home is at risk. By doing this, they get much more use, and learn several tactics in a less urgent atmosphere. You can think clearly.
I love the look of fires in buildings
You ever see it roll across the ceiling like that? Its neat. Then you put the wet stuff on it and the flames turn to steam and collapses to the floor. That's why there's a vapor barrier in the bunker gear they wear.
Me: sees house burn down
Also me: wow amazing
ok
You looked so pale after taking off the helmet, imagine the heat!
1. Fix your gaskets they shouldn’t leak that much
2. That hose line was certainly not at operating pressure
3. Poor hose work or instruction regardless -
4. Not at all how a fire gets extinguished you can’t see a damn thing -
- resume 20 years in A very busy urban fire dept
Yes it’s a training fire - but leaking gaskets on the pump panel tells me bad maintenance up front
Apologies for being critical but I know the job- we aren’t hero’s - we don’t deserve special credit
Its very interesting to watch but when you enter a house fire and apply water the first thing that happens is you lose visibility and the steam produced by the water expands 1700 times to cook you, you have to know when to use water and when to use the light of the fire to enable a rescue.
aren't they supposed to say fire department call out
I thought there was like a big brown tower to practic with
May God provide intellectual, physical and spiritual power and strength to the fire fighter department team-the fire fighter officers, vehicle maintenance group, call center team n overall team. May God empower and bless you all and ur family for the noble work of saving lives while risking one's life and forest fire safety through fire helicopters. Salute to every firefighter!! Amen!!....
Environmental friendly????
The smoke color and that thermal layer got me nervous
NFPA 1403, Standard on Live Fire Training Evolutions
Great video!. Can anyone tell what the name on the song in the start?
Everythings gangsta, until michale myers walks out with halligan bar.
This is amazing
Homeless people watching this are just like “come on man”
@Gacha Zendro :/
My neighbors house caught fire earlier today so me "14" I decided to step up to the challenge of saving there house because the fire department is 45 minutes away so I called 911 and then I broke there glass door so I could check if anybody was stuck inside so I cleared the house I was able to put out the fire before the firefighters arrived
Good job.
@@williamwestmoreland4069 thank you
My brother is training to become a firefighter
I have two ferrets and a dog and a BIG home my dog sleeps in a crate and my ferrets in my room I have a fire ladder in my room but I don't know about everyone else not only that but I can't hall anyone if the fire is in the laundry room because that is right outside my room and I am terrified
