Always nice to see when you post, love your vids. Them Philly boys get down and dirty. We don’t have much row homes in our first due, thank god. Them fires are no joke.
Always enjoy the content! Love the ladders on those porch roofs. How many guys are on a rig down there? Is the officer and force entry man searching in the building while you guys are venting the roof?
We have 4 FF's and an officer on the truck. Yea usually the ladder officer will take a quick look at the rear of the building and give a report to the chief, they help pull hoseline and help with the primary and secondary searches.
Do you guys have void spaces on the outside walls of your rowhomes? I've noticed that a lot of your cuts in your videos are on the outside parts of roofs.
Yes most of our dwellings are rowhomes with flat roofs built over 100 years ago. They have multiple layers of roofing material overtop wood planks so when the fire spreads through the walls and ceilings it is often inaccessible through the interior even when the plaster & lathe or drywall ceilings are pulled. So we look for signs of direct fire impingement and cut back the roof there to ensure there is nothing smoldering inside that would rekindle the fire.
Strong work, getting up to the roof looked to be a formidable task
Now this is the coolest view I've always wanted to look from was that pov from the driver in the rear of that tiller!!!! Awesome!!!
Great job! This was intriguing and educational to watch. Thank you for sharing and your service! You all are AMAZING!
Amazing 🤩
