“It’s that guys fault for not sealing of the road” has to be the dumbest thing I’ve heard in awhile. So not sealed off gives the green light to keep driving and drive over the hose? Some people are just so clueless!
Today’s thinking blame everyone else except the obvious! I mean the how dare the police and fire department tell a driver to turn around at a fire scene where there are hoses and a fire in a building….
Why is it his fault. It's pretty obvious that if there are fire trucks and hoses in the middle of the street, it's safe to assume that you shouldn't attempt to drive through

Saturday July 20 Leesburg VA Company 1, with LCFR career staffing plus some additional manning from LVFC volunteers. (LVFC covers the 1800-0600 shift Tuesday through Friday) A meat smoker behind the Downtown Deli got a bit out of control. The fire was out prior to their arrival.
@@K7008B to agree you will be correct but there’s no sense of standing at the pump panel. If you have nothing to pump if they have a standard 500 gallon tank it only takes two or three minutes for that to go out, which is the reason why he pulled the supply line gets a supply line now he can open up the the attack line let the firefighters do their thing at the nozzle while he establishes a supply line.
That's pretty much ' it ' in most career FD's all over America - and some are lucky to get that . They're supposed to be supplemented by volunteers , but on a weekday - mid-day that's pretty iffy .
we had one several years ag, that tried to drive over a charged 5" supply line and got high centered, after the fire was out the police ticketed the driver then the ff pulled the hose from under his car
Non-suppression pieces stage away to allow access for suppression units. With limited crew, pulling up to the scene and hand-jacking the supply line saves time by allowing the officer to do a walk around, firefighter to pull attack line and the driver to get water flowing. Then he can hand-jack a supply line while utilizing tank water.
@@fire9110 I see you have limited manpower, but if you key hydrant and then pull up the supply line is set in place by rig. Officer can still walk around. If you need tools off of Rescue unit having them close to fire helps a lot. You can always move it if needed.
@@richardmeo2503 You can’t always move the truck later because it could be blocked in and taking up unnecessary space. Additionally, it’s SOP in the entire national capital region to position non-suppression pieces away. I can’t comment further on the hydrant issue as I do not have direct knowledge of the particular incident. Just as you also don’t have that knowledge. So why armchair quarterback everything?
If a plug is less than 200 feet away, DC metro area departments usually don't lay it out. This leaves room for truck companies to position if needed. The engine driver can charge the first line and then stretch to the plug. The Rescue being on the cross street is only about 150 feet from the addressed building. It may look farther away on the video, but it's not.
FDNY also has five or six on engines, six on ladders, and so on... one person does one job. No other FD in the Country operates like the FDNY. Don't compare three-person Engine Companies to the FDNY. The members captured in this video are very well-trained professionals who run a lot of calls.
3 questions: why wasn't thaz hydrant keyed first, instead of wasting time having the Eng. Chauffeur stretching back to the hydrant? 2. Why the overkill stretch with the red hose? 3. Why so many members walking around - not in bunker gear. Don't they have specific jobs to do?
Eh if a driver can run supply to a plug in 20 seconds like that, it lets the bucket guy run his line at the same time. Obviously a longer lay would justify it but this is pretty short. Nova crosslays are typically 2-300’ so that mightve been the shortest reasonable attack line. Everyone else was probably ambo crews or people told that its bs contained to a smoker prior to arrival lol.
1. If a plug is less than 200 feet away, DC metro area departments usually don't lay it out. This leaves room for truck companies to position if needed. The engine driver can charge the first line and then stretch to the plug. 2. You either get a 50 ft. length or 100 ft. length out of the hosebed. The first length is 50 ft. All the rest are 100 ft. Sometimes, you just have a little more. It doesn't matter. 3. The members you see without turnout gear on are either drivers or assigned to a medic unit. If the medic crew isn't assigned to the "two-out", then they do not don PPE. These members were doing exactly what was expected. Their jobs.

It is the PD job to stop traffic, NOT the FD.
Yes that was a totally DUMB statement. If you can't figure out that you should not drive down that street at that time you should not have a license.
I am so glad someone beat me to this comment. Armchair quarterbacks wasting their lives blaming others are sadly the dominant species in our culture.

Well trained and well disciplined department. Better to be over prepared than under prepared.
Couldn’t agree more, I do think it was a little overkill…but was it wrong? Absolutely not.
Love the sidewalk Fire Chiefs.

Actually there was still fire in the meat smoker and it was extinguished by the FD, which was all LCFR staff that night.
Those FFs did hustle. Some departments have no sense of urgency on scene
Passion, training and great work ethic!!
Hats off to these brave volunteers!
Outstanding Job This LeesBurg Fire'Police Dept
Great video coverage! It almost looks like the same place that caught fire a few years ago i seen a video of.
great early organization, fast water supply and good hustle....well done!
I remember that alleyway from having been to Leesburg - many a time…
Shut out to the engineer of the engine, 11:11 100% hustle on that guy part
I would have thought his prime responsibility would have been at the pump panel

Its the engineers responsibly to set up his engine/oump AND establish his water source. That's exactly what he did!! @K7008B
He says “nice” is he referring to the broad?
He’s reacting to the hose deployment.
3 person staffing on the first engine? That’s it?
That’s pretty much what you get here in NJ from a career department. What’s the normal there for career??

Welcome to US Fire currently...
It’s a combination fire department between pay staff and volunteers
That's pretty much ' it ' in most career FD's all over America - and some are lucky to get that . They're supposed to be supplemented by volunteers , but on a weekday - mid-day that's pretty iffy .
My old firehouse, putting in work. Good job fellas.
January of 21, the building the engine parked infront of was also on fire
I was just about to say, I just watched a video of that fire. I was thinking to myself, damn that building looks familiar.
@@robertcarter9501 that’s what caught my eye so I had to go search for it
Is this the state of Kentucky or Virginia
Leesburg VA
@@MattFFEMT Cool Matt They Did An Outstanding Job With Responding'The Police
Is this Leesburg, Florida?
Leesburg, VA
Thank you
no need to evacuate a building thats not involved
we had one several years ag, that tried to drive over a charged 5" supply line and got high centered, after the fire was out the police ticketed the driver then the ff pulled the hose from under his car
Why pass the hydrant and then drag the supply line back to it?? Rescue unit doesn't pull into the block??

Is everyone a chauffeur there?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good traffic control but where's the fire?
It was out before they got there

Fake. Show the fire and smoke
God, I hate spectators
They hate you.
Who's are all the cowards not wearing gear I didn't know about this when I got on😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
perhaps you need to work more on your grammar than making comments that make no sense
They’re called engineers, they pump the water & charge the hydrant
Blocking the road is the PD's job, not the fire department, just for your information.
The guys not in gear were the medic crew and it's not their job to put gear on as the first arriving medic unit.
@@Ifyoufeelawaysmd We don't call them engineers in the NOVA region, they're either Technicians or Engine Drivers depending on their rank.
Scabs
Yer mama !
