Chief, you did a good job of showing what life is like for the first-arriving command officer. Direction, accountability, size-up, water supply, communication with dispatch......oh, and trying to get your gear on at the same time. Good job.
High 5 Battalion Chief 2! ✋🏻! What an AMAZING job you did on all the scenes in this video! High 5! To ALL FIRE FIGHTERS in this video! ✋🏻! Impressive work all of you!! 👏🏼👏🏼
Well 97% of your command is A+, although (constructive criticism ) you need a solid lesson on big water tactics especially when you have the amount of engines showing up, as seen in so many of these incidents. And my final thought, a 6hr trainer on combat breathing or have your personal portable radio reset for mic modulation. I cant tell if you were overly stressed on some of these and speaking extra loud, or something as simple as over modulating. But great content.
44:20 11 you can just come on down here point perfectly East I’ll be checking with my compass make sure you are 90degrees with 17 I do have my protractor.
BC, have you considered getting a noise canceling headset for your portable or command radio set up. Many are and have moved to that within the digital radio systems
Could you please add (accurate) closed captions? It would help me figure out the context of the commands and the radio comms, especially since everything happens quickly. Thanks!
Second this! I have a mild hearing loss and even through headphones was struggling with the radio transmissions. (for reference, I can hear most youtube videos clearly with headphones).
Meaning a “manufactured home”. Basically a house that is made in a factory and delivered to the building site. These homes are typically made with very cheap lumber and supplies, meaning they burn at a much faster rate than traditionally built homes. This is important information because it lets working crews know that the fire can greatly impact the structural stability of the home. Hope this helped!
SOP's, SOP's, SOP's. Whats the first engine expected to do? 1'st Truck, etc. Take the micromanagement away from the chief and allow him to manage the fire. He can make corrections after the fact.
Thank you. The micromanaging is horrible. The IC shouldn't be telling rigs where to park, to pull up. Shouldn't have to tell the crews to pull a line. Tell the truck to ladder the building. Don't tell them how to ladder the building. I couldn't work for this guy. In my opinion if the chief has to tell the crews what to do and how to do it, there's an issue.
Hey CFD fire ops I have a question for you on the fire call with the risk of the power line falling from the house couldn't you have also called in the local power company to cut power to that house?
@@qlargo4095 directing every single movement of every single truck is not managing the big picture. Everyone has their opinions. Glad you like his style, I don’t agree with it haha.
I see what you mean with the second video. Theres a balance between micro managing and maintaining control. I've worked on scenes where the deputy chief is giving orders to pull this eave and hit the fire this way with no gear being way too involved. Then I've been on scene with a commander who had no control. Companies self dispatching to the call, freelancing on scene parking too close to the scene getting blocked in. Also: Let the initial attack officer do his 360 and attack the way he feels is safe and effective or switch to a rescue op. You promoted him for a reason. I can understand coordinating a hydrant location. Rit checks in and receives their assignment. As far as orders, vent roof from Charlie side is all is needed for example. The officer will coordinate who is grabbing ladders, saws, hooks and will check in when assignment is complete or if there is a major issue. Just my thoughts. Feel free to discuss. Always interested to learn
Three engines on scene and still no water supply. Three chiefs on scene before the first truck. Chief running up with irons and a hook. I dunno. The fire went out but I feel like tactics could be honed.
Mack-The Chief with a TIC, Hook, & Haligan is me. I was the third arriving Chief. The 2nd Due Engine was hooking into the hydrant in the front yard before I arrived and the video is from my car. ESCAMBIA is BIG ON FAST WATER!!!
All y'all talking about how you could do it better, please go do it better and save lives. If you aren't gonna put up, hush up. These guys are saving lives and mitigating as much damage as they can. You sat you cant work for this guy, again go do it better somewhere else or shush.
A lot of micro management telling engineers how to drive telling each person what to do everyone should know there job and shouldn’t be micromanaged like this
I do not understand or agree with rolling so many engines in with out the first or second one hitting a hydrant. Why wait so long to lay a supply line. It only takes a few seconds.
He wouldn’t just be pulling up in my yard like that. Park on side of road like everyone else. 4 wheeler doesn’t need to be that close to scene. Respect people properties around. We are to protect property and life. Not destroy property. This department would be grading and reseeding my yard.
The second incident I felt my heart rate go up to about 130 because the IC sounded very anxious about the scene. I understand he had a lot going on I get that but taking it down a notch for myself would help me to think through the situation better.
I believe you possibly misunderstood the video title. There are multiple fires compiled into one video that only show the first five to ten minutes of each video, with the full length videos also included within this channel. Thanks for Watching and sharing your feedback.
I think the criticism of micromanagement is perhaps misplaced. One thing I see radically different in these videos that I see in no others I've watched is getting water on the fire fast ....within minutes not 30-40 minutes as seen in many videos from NJ & NYC areas. I think the fast, early arrival hard core management is the way this water on the fire quickly goal is achieved, this batallion chief quickly accesses each site. And quickly seems to have a picture of where he wants each piece of equipment located and how lines are to be arranged, what feeds what, and how certain trucks feed into others,, which my guess is how he has water on the fires fast, and has multiple trucks connected so their internal water feeds from one to the next efficiently so fire fijghting isbd delayed until the hydrant lines are live. The way he gets everything set up then is already set for efficient high volume water on fire once the hydrants take over. If the chief is silent, I don't think the arriving trucks would end up being placed or set up and formatted feeding as efficiently to achieve both early water on the fire and then hydrant supply. It looks like a well oiled machine and like a very good sports team with a good coach and professional team players who don't mind home setting up the early plays while equipment is arriving. Once everything is set up, he seems to step back and let the team do it's thing. My only criticism would be that it seemed to me like the speed on water on fire was taking priority over a cursory search for occupants still inside on some calls where buildings were not yet fully involved. I think other fire departments should watch andlearn from this teams hustle. You see the team hustling, and no-one just standing around. Watch other videos of big city fire fighting in NJ & NYC and it's like watching a film in slow-mo. I understand urban firefighting is different, but in the other videos from East Coast areas, I see little or no hustle, water on fire is rarely less than 30 minutes and tons of guys just standing around. I guess those are backup teams that are needed to relieve the first teams when they must be rotated out...when fighting big fires in high rises and warehouses and bigger fires found in the urban areas... I don't know, I am not a FF.
Okay---so how do these porker fire-dogs do anything but stroke-out when they see flashing reds? For crying out loud, some of these lard-buckets must weigh 300-lbs., which raises the prospects that they're equally likely to be dumber than dark. Pitiful stuff, this.

I concur!! BRILLIANT!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Chief Ike getting it done down south! True role model for younger guys!
Every incident had water on fire within 30 seconds of an engine arrival. Unbelievably efficient. Well done crew!
Continuous training and having their shit together.
That first house fire was crazy! That whole thing was burning. God bless them.
Chief and team Very efficient! Well done
Nice to see such clear, proactive competence.
This county is so well trained and professional. On scene and all ready to go in, BA on. Well done!
A Chief that doesn't mind getting dirty. Great example. 💯💯💯
Great job to All of you. THANK YOU FOR SERVING THE COMMUNITY as you do this dangerous work.
A Battalion Chief packing out and grabbing irons…love it!

AMAZING CHIEF.. RESPECT!
Wonderful job by all fire fighters. 👍🤗
Your guys sure know how to work. Constant hustle and I love it
Sir you are doing a great job..One knows whose in charge ,your people are well managed.Great job
Thanks for sharing Chief, guys look very professional! Training shows.
THANK YOU FOR KEEPING OUR COMMUNITY SAFE!!!
Great work as always Chief!

I SECOND THIS REQUEST!!! 👍🏻😁
@@cftfireops this is Chris I love your videos
great video thank you
Chief Ike great job running your orchestra
You got a very well trained department !
Great video! Its interesting to see you all at work. Thank you for all you do!
Great wrk chief
I was living in Florida at the time that this terrible crash occurred. Such a horrible time that was.
Love these videos in one please do another but put out the fire for a long time then to the next. Video
What kind of camera or device do you use?

Is your dept standardized with clear roles when they arrive at a fire scene
was the motel abandon or something that its all boarded up?
Typical for ESCAMBIA. Yes it was occupied. They rent the rooms by the hour.
Hi new sub from UK 🇬🇧. What do you mean by a manufactured house fire? You are very good at your job to me your all superheroes Inc ems x

@@joshuawalker4044 yes thankyou very much. They say you learn something new every day and I love to learn. Keep up the good work 👏 x
"Your destination is on the right......"
No kidding.
I hope that victim survived in the fire around the 55 min mark. Also, just an fyi but the link in the description is broken
How much do these guys get paid. Whatever it is. It ain't enough.
Exemplary speed! This should become a norm.

Would you be interested in teaching a class at a CFT Fire Conference
Hey CFD fire ops I have a question for you on the fire call with the risk of the power line falling from the house couldn't you have also called in the local power company to cut power to that house?
takes time for them to get there usually they are called but can't wait for them
Yeah, two hours later in most regions.
14-year active FF here. Let your men do their thing, delegate and trust them.
this guy has his sh** together !!!!😝
On this episode of *_BC’s Slowly Getting Dressed:_* Some ‘Civilains’ Get Rescued. Sorta.
INTEGRITY OVERLOAD ! DIGG ITT ! 🇺🇲
What do you wanna bet the chief used to be a parking lot attendant telling everyone where to park
Why does this guy put gear on? By the time he is geared up, there are 3 engines already on with the fire almost out lol.
The micro management is brutal. Stay back and let your officers do their job. Manage the big picture, not every little detail.
I was thinking the same thing !
I don't agree..Hes doing a great job
He is managing the big picture and doing it well

You're a chief, not a firefighter. If you need to put gear on you're in the wrong spot. Shouldn't even need to leave the front seat of the car.

17 was bout to hall ass js now
I get it chief, but damn let your guys work. If they are trained you shouldn’t have to micro manage them the way you do.
What do you think they are doing.
A lot of micro management telling engineers how to drive telling each person what to do everyone should know there job and shouldn’t be micromanaged like this
if you think this is micromanaging you haven’t seen much
@@cat740dtexplain to me why he is telling his engineers all the way to which way the tires should be? Are they not capable to do the job?
They do know their jobs but if the commander misses anything and something goes wrong he is ultimately responsible
Micro. Managing.
I do not understand or agree with rolling so many engines in with out the first or second one hitting a hydrant. Why wait so long to lay a supply line. It only takes a few seconds.
The hydrant is in the front yard. The Engine hooked into it immediately

Try, the first minute! Do you have any idea how long 5-10 minutes is when you are trapped in a burning building?
I believe you possibly misunderstood the video title. There are multiple fires compiled into one video that only show the first five to ten minutes of each video, with the full length videos also included within this channel. Thanks for Watching and sharing your feedback.
@@cftfireops I thought it referred to the importance of getting the job done in the first 5-10 minutes.
If this BC isn’t there are they gonna know what to do. So over micromanaged it isn’t even funny.

Stop micromanaging
