- On April 28th, 2018, Stockton Firefighters responded to a 3rd Alarm Structure Fire in an 8-plex apartment complex on Channel. Before Firefighters arrived, several victims were forced out onto their balconies, and then jumped to avoid the flames. Firefighters took an unusually long time to extinguish the fire because (1) a previous roof-over-roof remodel created many void spaces & (2) the fire was fed by a compromised heater's gas line. During the firefight, crews on scene made a rescue through a window via the tactic Vent-Enter-Search (VES).
This video is an educational tool for firefighters and the public. It begins with the 9-1-1 call from inside the apartment on fire. This may be difficult to hear, and is meant to illustrate the demands frequently placed upon our dispatchers.
To see the arrival conditions and hear the size-up: skip to 2:20. To see the Vent-Enter-Search (VES) operations, victim removal, and the difficulties associated with it: skip to 7:20.
There is a lot to show/edit/narrate via caption. Please bare with us. If the video moves too fast, you may have to pause to read captions. We're pretty sure we caught any typos. The bottom line is that our firefighters overcame various complications and performed above and beyond. Well done.
We thank you for your views, support, feedback, and comments. Comments that contain profanity, incite controversy, or are intended to 'troll' will be deleted. We can not express enough that this video is intended to educate the public on what Stockton Firefighters must encounter- not host a platform for people to argue about personal issues or the fire service. We reserve the right to delete comments as we see fit.
We are extremely proud to serve and protect the citizens and City of Stockton, California.
I have been binge watching these videos. I have to say, even though I think I always knew this: You firefighters are a rare breed. After spending 11 years in the Marine Corps, I believe firefighters are the real BADASSES. The danger you put yourselves into to knock down fires and save lives blows my mind. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO!!!!
I am currently on my way out of the Corps and I fully intend on joining my stepfather in the Volunteer Fire Department he works with back home
"Firefighters convinced the victim to leave."
Video mutes.
LOL
Nice job all!
"I cant I'm not dressed below the waist!"
"you will have no skin below the waist when the fire burns it off *WE NEED TO GO RIGHT FUCKING NOW*
"you make a compelling argument"
Right talk though that lady sounded like she thought that family member was still inside and knew they where dead when she saw the fire. She just broke down. Thank god they got out before but for that moment her world ended.
I can guarantee their wording of the situation at hand was not suitable for everybody to hear. Lol "Listen to me you stupid fucker......"
What? You wanna burn up in the fire? Get the fck OUT of the house when the ff are trying to rescue you.
"GET THE FUCK OUT HERE RIGHT NOW"
Stockton Firefighters never cease to amaze me. Of the videos that I watch on UA-cam, they are in a class by themselves. They are well organized and get down to work VERY quickly and safely.
Keep up the superb work, and be safe.
Came here to say exactly this. I haven't seen any Stockton videos before but felt compelled to come in and give kudos. All around from call taker, dispatcher, first crews on scene and incident command all keeping their cool and getting to work. IC is on point. Clear radio communication. The whole deal. This is textbook firefighting. This service should be very proud!
Johnny Toronto Well said, and this was not a “fluke,” whereas they just happened to get it right. Look for more Stockton Fire videos and you’ll be further convinced that they’ve got their $**T together. I believe they use a lot of Phoenix Fire’s SOPs, which explains a lot. Chief Brunacini (RIP) got it right man.
They are dialed in and in a league of their own! Keep up the good work Stockton!
Strong work!! Excellent post production .... Can't say enough good things about SFD. YOUR CITIZENS SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOU!
I've seen several Stockton videos where from the 911 call, driving there and putting out the fire took 10 to 15 minutes. I've seen several videos of other fire departments where it takes them 15 minutes to get their hoses hooked up and running.
Everything that was accomplished and a rescue, then the video is like "15 minutes into the incident." Amazing work.
The response to this fire was the most impressive I have ever watched. The teamwork displayed was exceptional. Just outstanding..
As it was said, Stockton fire is another league when it comes to these complex and chaotic scenes. Well done keeping your residents safe and for your skill, dedication and professionalism.
I like how the video ended "it took more than 35 minutes to extinguish" as if that was an unusuallyling time. Hell I've been on jobs that look like that for hours...lmao. love watching Stockton, they are definitely top notch.
21hrs longest I've ever been on it was a huge body shop we got called back more then a few times on rekindles
Really appreciate the effort put in to making these videos. I'd never seen the side-by-side VES ladder deployment, but it makes a lot of sense.
Awesome job. No panic. No BS. Absolute pros. Not enough superlatives. ( From a jake in MA.)
Nice video! I love the that it confirms so many things like closing doors to rooms to create tenable spaces for residents, how opening and closing doors create flow path, VES tactics, footing ladders correctly, the fact that it doesn't take two people to throw a 24 foot ladder, searching a fulling involved building can still be done safely AND with success!
Favorite part of this is catching all the times they do the PASS wiggle to shut it up lol
What is a pass wiggle? I'm still learning english, so I have to ask.
@@Schlohmotion PASS (personal alert safety system) makes noise if you are still for too long ☺ most of us do a little butt wiggle to get it to think we're moving so it shuts up. Feel free to ask as many questions as you want, I'll answer as many as I can.
@@DelMay1525 we invented twerking....popstars just made it popular
Going over the footage of ground zero makes me never wanna hear that sound again once you know what it is.
Awesome video coverage and post production. Stockton Fire History produces some of the most useful and professional videos on UA-cam. Thanks, for your consistently excellent work.
These videos have to be some of the best firefighting videos uploaded to UA-cam. Good job guys.
"Leave or BURN!" should be watchwords for fire fighters to use as a tool to get people moving. Realisticly truthful and blunt to get them out of their funk.
I work for Palm beach county fire rescue and use these videos as a means of learning and training. These Stockton guys are the truth.
This channel is amazing. Please never stop putting up content. I learn so much from these videos. Much Love from a Brother in New Hampshire.
What a superb job. The raw unedited video teaches us so much. I hold these brave men and woman in the highest regard.
Very impressive, as always. The work of these men is efficient, organized, and effective and has never ceases to impress. More than that, but whoever is managing this channel is doing hands down one of the best PR jobs around! Being a fireman myself I know the struggle of trying to tell a story and explain everything little detail as I go to someone outside the fire service, but the splicing of video and the included captions make these videos interesting and easily understandable to the average person! Amazing job all around!
what a great example of how and why VES works. Great job Stockton Fire.Superbly done editing on the Video

“Gah. Ah.”
*the firefighter bringing the second ladder overcomes falling debris.*
“Shit fuckin hit me”
Sorry so late. You and your brotherhood is what makes this country great! Keep doing what you do. God bless you all
Love these videos. I try to never miss one. As a fairly new firefighter these videos are an amazin tool. Thamk you for posting them with such great info.
Firefighters man, y'all are the real guys that "protect and serve" . Utmost respect for y'all and paramedics. Don't get paid(especially the volunteers xD) or noticed no where near enough. Awesome job.
Really, really well coordinated incident. Progress reports back to command were key. Good all-around effort with everyone calm, reinforcing the "it's not OUR emergency" concept.
Y'all are head and shoulders above FDNY and just about any other fire department I've observed on video. Great job. Very professional.
Let’s not get/go crazy with calling them better than the FDNY. They’re are very well trained and know how to fight fire. But comparing them to a dept with so many more resources and manpower is a tad silly. That being said they’re as good as any other fire dept. you’ll see operating in this day and age with the manpower and equipment they have access too.
That is the best footage i've ever seen by any firefighter channel. It is very helpful to see how dangerous fires are. When it's not edited and everything is rough footage, especially with the helmet cams inside. An apartment down the hall from me had a fire in our apartment complex. We have fire suppression sprinklers with the red tube inside. That red tubes burst at 165°. Thankfully, that fire in that apartment was out before the 2 minutes that it took for Dallas fire department to get here. We live downtown in a high rise. We are surrounded by more hospitals than I can count and at least five fire stations within a five mile radius or less. 2 of the Dallas fire stations are within 2 miles of where we live in downtown Dallas. We live in a newer building. We have fire suppression pression sprinklers everywhere, and a fire control room that can actually call the fire department with its computers. If this building had caught fire, somehow, right after it was finished being built and before anyone moved in. I know all this. Because I asked the firefighters when my down the hall neighbors had a fire due to taking sleep while cooking a feast. All 4 burners were in use, and all the food was on 🔥. Luckily for us. No smoke entered through our front door. It's a metal door. I did walk out to see what was going on. I was about to be choked out by the white smoke that smelled like all foods burning. It was thick smoke. It smelled like a good BBQ, though. I didn't stay out there for long. I got my 9 layer covid mask and went back out to talk with the firefighters. They explained everything to me about it being a huge food 🔥.
EXCELLENT job firefighters, especially the rescue team with that lady. People have NO idea what firefighters go through. This being a great example.
Thanks a lot for your amazing visual documentation. These are the proof that why we still need professional firefighters in cities although there are fewer fires compare to 1980s and 1990s. Keep it up guys ;)
What contributes to that?
@@hippojuice23 More regulations, cant DIY wiring anymore and appliances tend to be built with less chance of burning.
I once had a similar situation with a resident (lady) refusing to come down the ladder so I removed my tunic and dressed her in it then walked her down the ladder with my body shielding her from onlookers. Simple. Once on the ground we put her in the appliance with a blanket and went back to work. Vanity is a strange thing but you do what you can to get them out.
Very kind and generous of you, sir. I salute you and your efforts.
What the fuck is a tunic nigga it’s a jacket
Joe joe 3702
Ok that’s funny....the use of the “N” word. In wanting to know what a tunic is ?…rotflmao !!!
Stockton firefighters are simple the best!! You folks set the standards. God bless and keep all of you safe.
from beginning to end wow. stockton fire department is a well oiled machine. communications were excellent including dispatch. I never saw FFs appear to not know what they were doing. and nobody running! hate to see FFs running on the fireground. kudos SFD
Jess Nunez
Don’t like the running one bit either...you miss too much and aren’t able to process things as quickly or rapidly when you go into that mode.
As I’m hoping to be a fireman one day these videos are a great resource please keep posting!
Great job Stockton Fire, great job on the video as well.
You guys Rock! Great videos for teaching! Keep them coming!
Great job, that was a well coordinated fire attack and primary search with a VES rescue.
Outstanding documentation. Well done folks and thank you for sharing.
Nice work, and way to notice the viable living space from the outside of the building. Strong ladder work - I was wondering why the aerial never got raised, though. I noted the high voltage lines in the front of the building, but it looked as though there was room under them to get the ladder up if the truck was positioned well.
I'm very impressed with what I saw in this video. Stockton FD did an excellent display on how it should be done.Great job well done
Outstanding FD, so well organised and disciplined with all aspects - a pity there was so much inaccurate information relating to people trapped. Well done, Stockton
Excellent editing, and great work! Enjoy watching Stockton FD in action!
Sharing at the station tomorrow. Great job!
I would be proud to have these guys on duty in my town!!! Great Job guys!!!
Very professional. Great work and awesome video
Wow, from the dispatcher all the way up to the men who were up on that ladder. I’ll say not, not everyone can do that. Thank you for your service🇺🇸
Thank you to all the first responders all brave with big hearts and risk there lives for others in very dangerous situations may you all stay safe and God Bless You All! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice work guys
Great work and using command system. Awesome grab brothers.
Really annoying that the lady wouldn't leave her apartment. Imagine if there WERE other victims in the building but they couldn't even get to them yet because they were still trying to get her to leave!
At that point, they should have just physically lifted the woman against her will and started forcing her out through the window so they can move onto the next task!
I'm brand new, just finished academy. very good job from what i could see, even with all the confusion from the victim's reports.
Nice work Stockton as usual! from a brother in Maine
Great footage. Good job brothers! ✊🏿👍🏿
Very well compiled video. Great accompanying text. True bravery by firefighters.
Awesome job boys!
When a fireman says let’s go you do it.. Great guys. Thank you
Stockton always Pro's, very well done. Stay safe Brothers!!.
Doing work son. That's a real call. Great job
Awesome job guys I enjoy watching your videos
Aggressive and collected. Solid work fellas!
Amazing job
I've said before. I'll say it again. These folks in Stockton are very, very good. Dispatch, Command, Line. None better.
Very Aggressive
Very Knowledgeable
Well Trained
Job Extremely Well Done!
May God Bless You All
Super Arbeit, habt ihr klasse gemacht!
Amazing job guys
Wow great job guys👍🏻👍🏻
This channel is awesome.
GREAT JOB BY THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE STOCKTON FIRE DEPT YOU MAKE ME PROUD RET.WMR SJC 15 ❤
I know victims are sometimes combative and do not realize the danger present. Advice to those watching this video if you are told to get out of a burning structure don't argue. All that does is delay fire rescue personnel from getting to other possible victims and expose themselves and the fire fighters to unnecessary risks.
Literally the best firemen in the business
Great job guys!
Great job guys
Good work.
As a civilian I'm Really surprised that a hollow core interior door lasted as fire break that long.
The material the door is made of and what it's painted with can make a big difference in whether it burns slowly or quickly. It's also the fact that if the door is closed and the room is vented (windows open) then it's no longer building heat, the built up heat basically vents the smoke out as it moves outside to cool, meaning oxygen is no longer coming in that window because it's venting smoke and heat. All in all, it creates a quite livable space to occupy until the fire moves into the walls or floor of that room.
The apartment's in the rear is where my parents lived when I was born, nearly 70 years ago !! And the apartments on the left is where my older brother and his wife lived when they first got married some 50 years ago !! My niece was born when they lived there !!
Ladies and Gentleman, that is what you call TEAMWORK!!
Great Job Stockton!!
I’m no longer cute naked so I sleep with light night clothes so I cut the threat of scaring neighbors and fire fighters in the event of a fire and worst of all refusing to come out of a burning building because I’m that damn embarrassed lol! If you’re bedroom is not on the first floor, you may be required to come down a ladder so sleep with them bloomers on!
Nice work!
Our Fire fighter's are truly Hero's !! They don't get thanked enough !! I want to Thank Them for All that they do !! Stay safe !! And You are All Great People !!
Fast Spreading Fire = 2, 2-1/2" hose lines to knock down exterior fire showing. This fire stream application does 2 things. 1) it protects the exposures. 2) it slows the progress of the fire on the interior so an interior hoseline (1-3/4") can be streached to stop the fire from spreading.

great video
Nice work
Great work, Well Played and Very Well Recorded My friend. Thank you Udizzy1969
Good job Jakes !!!
Damn fine job, guys! It really brings home how manpower intensive rescue is and how it can put a crimp on available resources for anything else. They could have used two more full companies to effect that rescue. We often practice VEIS, but not as often the rescue component of it, which is much harder.
Much respect.. heroes all of you..
awesome video
As in the other comments Stockton firefighters are complete studs they do a fantastic job with limited resources I pray to God that they all stay safe
Great job to all the Fire Fighters that battled this Fire!!!!!
Great coordinated command and control fire suppression!
Good get on the job guys way to go !
great stuff Stockton
Awesome job to my firefighter brothers and sisters!
These guys are obviously the real deal, calm size up and guys are calm and collective laying lines and getting an attack set up. You’re reputation precedes you guys up north.
Even though this is old, well done guys.
Thank you first responders.
Good work boys 👍. Job well done
Amazes me how people panic so bad and can't even compose themselves to call for help.
Good job!
good job !
Great job boys 👍🏻🚒
Given all the obstacles thrown up, both by the call and dubious building practice, these guys simply did awesome, One Pet and one life saved that were definitely dead. there were 2? others according to the radio, so more than just good work. I have seen most other department play the surround and soak tactic, the instant they get the primary search done. You guys never went to the mainstreams on the deck guns. That water deluge damages everything, and also had the additional thought for a victim's privacy. The fact you didn't back off and soak it is probably why the fire did not burn all night.
