Seen from Australia. I have just recently discovered Stockton Fire Dept. UA-cam videos and now hungry to see more. From what I have seen so far, is that Stockton Fire Dept is a very professional, well trained and coordinated team of fire fighters and it's a joy to watch these videos. If it is possible, I would like to see an engine cabview traveling from station to fire scene to show the streets of Stockton and some road challenges the driver has traveling to a going fire. Overall, please keep these videos going as they are awesome! 👍👍
It's not from these guys, but a fire station near me has videos of their driving to incident and they're also pretty awesome ua-cam.com/video/Tf1gWmuGEdQ/v-deo.html
I can see a need for small portable sticky lights that you can stick to ceiling or floors to illuminate rooms for easier firefighting when you cut the utilities. Would that be possible?
Good to see some new videos. Always impressed when watching how quickly they begin their fire attack unlike so many other departments where they take 10 minutes or more to start the initial attack. I live in Alameda a small island community on the east side of San Francisco Bay and AFD also employs a rapid attack approach. This is not criticism but a question. Why didn’t they pull a pre connected line and do a exterior attack on the closet burning on the top right corner? Stay safe and thanks for the great videos!
This appears to have been answered in future videos: Attacking the fire from the outside has the potential to push the heat, steam, and flames towards the firefighters performing the interior attack. Imagine the team inside approaching that closet door and having all the heat, steam, debris, etc pushed into you from a line attacking from the outside. It'd be a bad day for them!
Per their website, "A Chief's Operator (aide) is also on duty at all times to assist the Battalion Chiefs. The Chief's Operator is responsible for the Mobile Command Unit and responds to all structure fires, hazardous material incidents, or large-scale emergency medical service (EMS) incidents. The Chief's Operator also ensures that the daily staffing requirements are met."
I would say, so you dont steam the firefighters inside, its hard to tell where people are at all times inside. If you dont hit fire on the base, there will be a lot of steam effectively burning firemen inside.
I agree with Matt but to further elaborate in the video it states the crews on scene believed it was a bedroom before confirming it was a closet. Although it’s fully involved steaming that room by hitting it hard from the yard would narrow down the chance of survivability for any victims. And yes I understand the caller confirms all occupants are out of the building but it’s been in my experience that the caller may not be completely correct so from the moment you get told possible victims trapped that’s the case all the way until confirmed by your secondary search. And yes just like Matt said it makes it harder to fight fire when your helmet melts over your head because of all the steam. I hope this give a better perspective of why that isn’t always an option. Patient safety is always a priority to me so I think of how my actions on the fire ground can affect them.
@@geezie1210 That theory has been shown to be not true. While it is true that skin damage was shown to increase immediately after the application of water, the over all survivability of a space increased significantly with the application of water as soon as possible. You need to cool the room down in order for the victims to survive.
Crews need to attack the seat of the fire and search the interior for life ASAP. If you can hit fire from the outside efficiently and then go inside, then great. But that does eat some time and you are not inside searching for life. If you can be inside, attack the seat of the fire and search for life, that is the best option. In this case, they stretched, went straight up the interior stairs and started attacking fire. It may not be visible from the street, but they were owning the inside and attacking fire efficiently. Just my 2 cents.
bunker108 Operator 1 rank is Engineer. Role- Accountability control officer, can also be Div C or ISO early in incident before a second BC arrives. Post fire knockdown, makes notifications to Red Cross, Utilities and gathers resident info/board-up crews. Last but not least, he’s responsible for crew scheduling for both Battalions.
Glad to see y’all back. Thought y’all were done. 💪🏻

Aw, poor little cute house 😥
0:25 looks like they removed a loadbearing wall from the way the center house is collapsing.
Band of brothers.
What role does the “ Operator” play. What do they do at the scene?
You guys are bad ass.
What is an operator? Is it like a safety chief?
Chiefs Aide
Hello. What does the Operator do? What is his/her function on the fireground?
What video editing software do you guys use for your fire cams?
How much Ambulances have the SFD?
nero black none
I believe they have AMR contracted out.

What exactly is an operator ?

That house was more of a trip hazard than anything, so much crap laying around the steps. Hopefully they where just trying to take what the could.
not trying to Monday morning quarterback just trying to learn, but why not hit that closet from the outside before going inside to finish the job?

Lenard Gutierrez great thanks. They respond in an SUV? Sounds like a very senior position.
