At last !! A group of fire fighters who don't hang around but simply put water on the fire!! Guess what - No major discussion groups, no delays in hitching up the lines! Just done as it should be. The fire is extinguished in double quick time. Appreciate that it is not a complex and large fire but the principals are the same. Everybody seemed to know what their task was and quickly and efficiently went about it saving adjoining properties from being involved. What a breath of fresh air guysl Keep up this good work. Many thanks for your firwst class cover FB 1
Yes sir roll up in front grab a crosslay preconnect and head for action. Charged line water through the window onto the fire effective use of the wet stuff and rapid cooling of the hot stuff. Text book response and great job done. They can be proud.
Yep hoses running within 2 minutes of arrival, Venting saw starts just after knockdown, and the have a clear building for mop up and overhaul. The captains and battalion have their act together.
You did good Jay, got there just in time to get everyone rolling up. Must always be a bit frustrating when an RA is first on scene, you can gear up in your SCBA and turnout but you can't get in there to tackle the flame. Love how you got all the units swinging in, and some were breaking off a few blocks up to go around. What I really liked is how you then focused on the scene, getting them drawing the hoses and such.
FB1 Response Videos Yeah it is. It's just one of those things. Better than not having no rescue on scene at all! I love it when they lay the line from a moving vehicle, like you got in that other structure fire response in 66's first due a few months back. Yes you got on the LAFD Instagram, whooop whooop you!
yes! i love watching lines being laid, one of my favorite parts being on scene of a structure. and also, i’m so grateful that my shots caught LAFD’s attention haha.
Once our medic unit got on scene of a fully involved structure. All rigs were on the other side of town training. My partner and I basically stood there for at least five minutes while the neighbors stared at us. Not easy trying to look busy
@@FB1ResponseVideos it also depends on other drivers. These drivers were understanding and good people and about 90% are but 10% just think they own the road
Firefighters really don’t care about how close you get. So long as you don’t interfere with what they are doing. PD will ask you to move sometimes but only if you look like you in the way. Buffs are practically first responders in LA. They are accepted as scene personnel. Plus we love looking at the videos afterwards.
Hopefully there were no injuries to anyone related to this incident, for the amount of fire showing once they opened up that hand line they knocked it down fast ( great job guys) Thank you to all firefighters everywhere for protecting the citizens of your coverage area.
They operate with such precision and get shit handled man best in the world! I'd love to transfer to LAFD someday man. Absolutely amazing footage brotha! Watched it like 4 times lol
Can you actually transfer to a different fd? For example, let’s say I work for FDNY and I move to Los Angeles would I be able to transfer to LAFD or LACoFD?
@@Conrailfan2596 a lot of departments will offer “lateral” hiring periodically... that is basically they are hiring people that are already trained and working likely with another department. However LAFD and LaCo DO NOT take laterals, all of they’re members started from their academy and went up from there. You will usually find smaller departments will offer lateral positions more than big departments, because it is a way to get trained personnel without having to pay for their training/academy etc.
A lot of time is saved when you lead from the hydrant to the fire--as water is flowing through the LDH ,the attack lines are readied. Great knockdown.Great video.
Yesss ! Turn those rigs guys !!! I got a talking to by a senior firefighter the other day about my driving to a call earlier in the day. We were dispatched to a 2-vehicle MVA, injuries/entrapment/fluids/airbags deployed unknown...I took a hard left off the main drag onto a side street. Access to water road. I take a hard right, slowing right down, but not to a stop. He didn't like that, or loved it and realized he didn't have the balls to copy me. So he says "you couldn't have seen a car coming thru the trees on your left" to which I told him he's right, but I looked before my view got blocked, and we were good, and I hope he enjoyed me being his tour guide !!! lol
Wow this is the first video I've seen that someone shows the tillers in action and not just pulling out of the Bay en-route to a call or returning to station. I wish my city had Tillers because I love those types of rigs 😍👍😁
Great catch! Thanks for the upload. Quick question... And it shows my ignorance... I don't watch a ton of videos with LAFD, but it seems like in the ones I do, they *only* run tillers. Am I imagining this?
And almost all their tillers are paired with an accompanying pumper as a Light Force (6 man crew for the two apparatus running as a single company...gives one company full sized tiller Ladder and full sized pumper that can deal with any type of call vs a Quint which sacrafices ladder length or pump capacity, hose amount, etc). Pumper is always a 200 series i.e. Engine 57 is independent company, Truck 57 and Engine 257 are Light Force 57, Light Force+Engine is Task Force 57. A bit confusing at first, but not too bad once you get it lol
I have this paused at 4:42 and I'm looking at the pump panel. Those three discharges low and on the left seem a strange configuration. Does LA set up their rigs like this for the ease of running wildland lines? It seems like it might be helpful for that.
It’s because this area is extremely dry, allowing any fire to grow at all can lead to catastrophe in a residential area. The structures ignite and spread way to fast to take chances, an entire block can become fully involved in minutes and that has happened more often than people realize. It’s a response for several homes, never just one.
Wow, these guys are awesome!! Many departments can learn from them, i see other fire structure videos and im surprise how other dept are wearing jeans, no packs, walking around, etc, LA firefighters ready to roll and attack within seconds. Great job to all LA county and city fire.
Maybe you’ve done this before and the vid is out there. I’d like to see how they drain and fold/roll their hoses up after their done. Also, how in the hell do they keep track of whose hose is who’s. Obviously, if it’s hooked up to their truck its theirs, but on those big jobs, 3, 4, 5 alarm fires the hoses are laid out for miles and like 5 to 10 hoses deep in layers. I suppose it’s simple after you’ve done for years, but it looks complicated to me. I’d also just like to give a shout out to all first responders for saving our lives and property while risking theirs. Excellent cam work. Great post.
every single piece of equipment has the units callsign on it (i.e.; Truck 66’s blower would have a “T-66” sticker or paint) so that nothing should get lost or mixed up. and if it does, it’s easy to return to the correct company. as for the hose, they lay it out across the street, bleed it out, and roll it up. once they’re back in quarters, they clean it, hang it to dry, and grab fresh hose. hope that helps, thanks for watching.
I found this situation when I watched a lot of related videos. United States / Western countries: There is no water tank in the fire truck, it takes long time to assemble the hose on the spot. But the water pressure is very strong and the fire can be controlled very quickly when complete assembly. Asia (example: Malaysia / Singapore / Japan): Almost all firetrucks have water tanks inside, which can extinguish the fire directly while installing/find the hose. But using a small water pipe, if the fire become too strong, need takes a long time and more water pipes to control the fire.
You fail to realize that we here out west have a different, very effective method of fighting fire. Our fire engines carry a 500 gallon water tank, with almost a mile of supply line and hand lines to fight fire. When a structure fire is announced, a ladder truck and a fire engine are always dispatched together, called a "light force". Another fire engine from the same fire station dispatched on the same call is called a TASK FORCE. The reason why a ladder truck and a fire engine are separate and have different duties is because it saves wear and tear on the equipment and it last longer. A ladder truck company and an engine company has different functions and tasks at a fire, but they work together toward a common goal, which is to extinguish fire, preserve life and property. The firefighters on that aerial ladder truck perform roof ventilation techniques, shut off utilities, to pave the way for the engine company to perform an interior attack. Our fire dept here in L.A. trains for speed of deployment, efficiency, etc. Our firefighters are trained for quick deployment, they're on the scene of the incident within the first 5 minutes the call is made to 9-1-1.
Thud neighborhood brings the threat of being shot so Kevlar beats bibs, and every window is barred so cutting torches are more important than fire hoses.
Man the was an awesome catch. And yoi really caught the action. Some people keep the camera on an Eng. For like two min of a five min video. Youlet us see who was there and went back to want we all really are looking for awesome job man awesome job. R66 is an new addition to FS66 do you k ow how long it has been there?
Lets just say that they have had it as long as uou have known. I began as an explorer with FS.66 was there for a year and went to County 16's. This was when the Paramedics wore those light blue jump suits, 1991.
0:03 why did they block the road? Maybe he was confused or was gazing at the fire because he did end up moving by the time firetrucks came so I doubt that he did on purpose
Great Work, don't see water on a fire that fast in America. We do in Australia and it works and this video proves that point, water puts out normal fires.
They still have some of the best looking apparatus in the country. Too bad there were no Crowns on that job. The two Seagraves at 4:52 and 4:58 are stellar.
LAFD must go through hundreds of saw blades. Seems like every video I see there are bars on every door and window. Business or residential. Here in Houston, we have plenty, but not like LA. I spent weeks in the hospital with burns and I don’t want ANYTHING in my way if I need to get out. Nothing I own is worth that much.
It is really crazy how almost every place in LA has bars on the doors and windows I guess they have a extremely high burglary rate and that is the only way they are able to protect their house or business. And the bars must be the biggest reason why cost of living is so high there because it takes firefighters so long to get to people during a fire.
The window bars in my bedrooms all have a release pin with a nice big D-ring. Pull the pin and the bars swing away on a hinge. You can have them out of the way in seconds.
Joseph Astier I assume you test them frequently to make sure they are not corroded or rusted. Seconds are the difference in life and death in a fire. You must have some really valuable stuff in your house. And alarm system and/or a big dog are better at preventing burglaries. Like I said. I spent 30 days in the hospital with burns and months more healing. That was over 50 years ago and I still have visible scars. Apparently lots of people feel safer for some reason with insanely ugly bars on their windows and doors. I think convicted criminals should be behind bars, not homeowners. I was recently in the market for a new house. If it had bars, it was a deal breaker. Nothing else mattered after that. If the neighbors are that bad, I don’t want to live there.
Every few years someone like a bank appraiser or a new building inspector will notice that the bedroom windows are barred, and want to see a test of the release. They always like it. The bars came with the house, I just left them installed. This thread got me thinking about them, so I just tested them. They work perfectly.
Great job on the fire! Hot conditions, no standing around, kick ass, but what 99.99% of people don’t realize is the work you have to do to get the rigs back in service after the fire is out, loadind hose, filling scuba…if you are a FF you know what I am saying….been there done that…stay say my friends…
Mike 0355 yes right next to Burger palace. I started as an explorer there. Only for six months before the moved to Across from the Woodsy recycling center. Ole days for sure.
That was some well-shot arriving footage my man! Trucks pulling in left and right, that firefighter hooking up to a hydrant, you were right in the action and the visuals looked great. Awesome work!
Damn man that’s what I call action!! You got a little close for comfort there in some parts (surprised they didn’t make you get back lol). Great work capturing responses, on scene and action! 🔥
i could feel the heat from across the street, imagine from the sidewalk where i was standing! haha. they ended up putting fire tape up but they never told me to move, fortunately. thanks for watching! 👍🏾
Vertical ventilation is primarily used to let smoke and superheated gasses exit the structure which lessens the chance of flashover, and makes the interior a more ‘survivable’ space should casualties be inside and a search being conducted. This structure had already become fully involved and had flashed over, no point risking lives putting someone on the roof to ventilate it with no real advantage to be gained. The temps inside the structure would be unsurvivable prior to fire crews arriving, so sadly anyone in there would already have perished.
Lots of exposures though And their response structure with light forces and task forces tend to give that illusion while not too many firefighters are actually there
One can only love the US approach: if you have them, use them. The fire trucks are almost as high as the house on fire, but let’s add a turntable ladder to the intervention because ‘procedure’. Seriously: respect for the LAFD. The whole video shows professionalism and concentration.
Maybe all of us experienced firefighters have it all wrong. Will all those that think this was a poor job knocking down a possible arson please educate us on exactly what and how it could be done better. Given the fact that anything can be improved and the better one is the less improvement is needed. We can't tell from the video what every fireman's assignments are, backup, rescue, etc. Incident Command awaits input.
This was quite refreshing to see compared to a lot of videos I’ve been seeing lately where everyone is taking their time. I watched one the other night where the neighboring house caught fire in the 5 minutes it took for the truck on scene to finally get the first 1 ¾” going. I’ll take this “too many” and quick response any day over what seems to have become the norm with a lot of departments!
That pickhead axe is a necessity for L.A. City and L.A. County Fire in case they're assigned to ventilate the roof, breach walls, or knock the hinges off doors.
I"m sorry, but the old Simon Duplex looks way better than the new Pierce. That old Simon unit may be old, but she's capable, and I see a lot of stations using the Simon as a backup before the LaFrance!
Wow. Way too many people on the fireground compared to here in Australia. Quick to get on scene but slow to attack the fire. Great extinguishment and salvage. Nice job boys and girls
Please tell all of us firefighters exactly what they could have done faster and better and how. Since so many feel it was an excellent job please bring us to our senses.
People are just like that. They do not understand a spotter, they think we are sansation seekers, but we capture the images because we like to see the emergency services at work. To support them
I'm not a firefighter so maybe one can answer a question. Why not just roll up next to that house and blast it immediately with the deck gun? Seemed like an easy shot to take?
that would be called “defensive mode” which this fire definitely did not cause for...you’ll see defensive mode used on greater alarm fires/fires that are too dangerous to send human life into. thanks for watching!
And this is what I find confusing. When the trucks arrive, if an interior attack is called for the men must lay hoses, make connections to pumper trucks and hydrants, don their breathing gear, and more. This is not an instantaneous process - even with good training it's still a minute or two. Why not use those early minutes to blast it with the deck gun while this is happening, using the truck internal tank water supply? Can't you get that thing going within seconds of arrival?
Useing a deck gun on a structure this size has two major draw backs. #1 you could easily push the fire into unseen, unburned area. And #2 you could spred the fire with that much power. You'll see one FF with a streight streem in the front. This is dubed hitting it hard from the yard. This will cool the fire and eliminate the need for vert venting. There is no life in danger that they know of but that is always a possibility with homeless squating unbeknownst to anyone. Using a deck would turn the thermal integrity and scorch to death anyone inside.
Idk about LAFD, but our deck guns are 500gpm...with a 750 gallon tank, you'll be out of water in a minute and a half. Then you don't have any water for hand lines...which can move around and get better angles, vs one big deck gun that isn't gonna be able to hit more than wherever its parked. Now we can, and will use it in that initial min before stretching handlines, but ultimately you need the handlines on a structure not the deck gun to extinguish. I know LAFD uses 1.75" attack line, we're using 1.5" with 125gpm nozzles, 4 lines is as much water as the deck gun, and looked like they had way more than that.
Aussie firefighter here. first off, damn good job. But, can someone please tell me...Why do you guys don your facemasks in the hot zone? That would mean that all other work you're doing around the structure, the particulates would contaminate the inside of the mask prior to donning. Just doesn't make sense to me, different procedures, etc.
Everyone that disliked this video are arsonists

You're a BIGGER IDIOT than I thought! Your Comment is a JOKE, Right?

Fully involved 🔥😧☹️😟😩😳🥺 great job as always LAFD🚒👍👍👍😀
Awesome job by the cameraman!
thank you!

Heard this one dispatched on the scanner. Nice to put what I heard to the video. Thanks.

Great Work, don't see water on a fire that fast in America. We do in Australia and it works and this video proves that point, water puts out normal fires.
Great catch.....that's what you call a working structure fire.
They still have some of the best looking apparatus in the country. Too bad there were no Crowns on that job. The two Seagraves at 4:52 and 4:58 are stellar.
This is a coincidence, I was the 451st person to give this video a thumbs uo. That's 451 as in Farenheit 451. Great video by the way.
haha. thanks for watching
oof!

LAFD must go through hundreds of saw blades. Seems like every video I see there are bars on every door and window. Business or residential. Here in Houston, we have plenty, but not like LA. I spent weeks in the hospital with burns and I don’t want ANYTHING in my way if I need to get out. Nothing I own is worth that much.
It is really crazy how almost every place in LA has bars on the doors and windows I guess they have a extremely high burglary rate and that is the only way they are able to protect their house or business. And the bars must be the biggest reason why cost of living is so high there because it takes firefighters so long to get to people during a fire.
The window bars in my bedrooms all have a release pin with a nice big D-ring. Pull the pin and the bars swing away on a hinge. You can have them out of the way in seconds.
Joseph Astier I assume you test them frequently to make sure they are not corroded or rusted. Seconds are the difference in life and death in a fire. You must have some really valuable stuff in your house. And alarm system and/or a big dog are better at preventing burglaries. Like I said. I spent 30 days in the hospital with burns and months more healing. That was over 50 years ago and I still have visible scars. Apparently lots of people feel safer for some reason with insanely ugly bars on their windows and doors. I think convicted criminals should be behind bars, not homeowners. I was recently in the market for a new house. If it had bars, it was a deal breaker. Nothing else mattered after that. If the neighbors are that bad, I don’t want to live there.
Every few years someone like a bank appraiser or a new building inspector will notice that the bedroom windows are barred, and want to see a test of the release. They always like it. The bars came with the house, I just left them installed. This thread got me thinking about them, so I just tested them. They work perfectly.
Joseph Astier Like I said, seconds can mean the difference between life and death. I hope you keep the bedroom door closed.
Great video! Hate those electronic sirens. Q2b's are the best!!!
what is diffrent red helmet with black helmet? thanks for video :)
Woah ! This has 4 million views!!! Congrats !!!!!

Great job on the fire! Hot conditions, no standing around, kick ass, but what 99.99% of people don’t realize is the work you have to do to get the rigs back in service after the fire is out, loadind hose, filling scuba…if you are a FF you know what I am saying….been there done that…stay say my friends…
Sorry I ment SCBA not SCUBA, I’ve done both……
Back in the day when I was at 66s, the station was on Florence just off of Western just around the corner. TF 66 84 to 86
Mike 0355 yes right next to Burger palace. I started as an explorer there. Only for six months before the moved to Across from the Woodsy recycling center. Ole days for sure.
Tommy Hughes really, who was the advisor then Issac Burks still?
Mike 0355 no Sir Dale Bayless was the Post adviser.
Old Isaac good guy
Tommy Hughes are you on the job now
That was some well-shot arriving footage my man! Trucks pulling in left and right, that firefighter hooking up to a hydrant, you were right in the action and the visuals looked great. Awesome work!
thanks a bunch! i definitely considered myself at the right place at the right time (:
nice vid... fully involved... good knockdown by LAFD... but i'm not surprised... LAFD one of the best

Damn man that’s what I call action!! You got a little close for comfort there in some parts (surprised they didn’t make you get back lol). Great work capturing responses, on scene and action! 🔥
i could feel the heat from across the street, imagine from the sidewalk where i was standing! haha. they ended up putting fire tape up but they never told me to move, fortunately. thanks for watching! 👍🏾
Nice job done.

Great video man!
Ok
Brilliant. Video can any body tell me are the ambulance drivers also trained fire fighter I live in the uk
yes they are (:
Whooa!! I remember this call!! You got great shots, Kiddo!! Awesome job!!
thank you!!! 😘

Fantastic video!!
But you got a good one. Btw it didn't seem like they cut the roof for ventilation?
i noticed that too. i assumed that due to how well-involved the house was, they just didn’t go to the roof for safety reasons. thanks for watching
@@FB1ResponseVideos no prob.
Vertical ventilation is primarily used to let smoke and superheated gasses exit the structure which lessens the chance of flashover, and makes the interior a more ‘survivable’ space should casualties be inside and a search being conducted. This structure had already become fully involved and had flashed over, no point risking lives putting someone on the roof to ventilate it with no real advantage to be gained. The temps inside the structure would be unsurvivable prior to fire crews arriving, so sadly anyone in there would already have perished.
17 vehicle arrivals later, I'm shocked to see a single story dwelling and not a high-rise. 😂
JuggGoh
Lots of exposures though
And their response structure with light forces and task forces tend to give that illusion while not too many firefighters are actually there
One can only love the US approach: if you have them, use them. The fire trucks are almost as high as the house on fire, but let’s add a turntable ladder to the intervention because ‘procedure’.
Seriously: respect for the LAFD. The whole video shows professionalism and concentration.
HOLY SHITTTTT!!! Awesome Catches & Footage.
Holy crap!! Awesome job! That thumbnail is sick!
thank you (:
Maybe all of us experienced firefighters have it all wrong. Will all those that think this was a poor job knocking down a possible arson please educate us on exactly what and how it could be done better. Given the fact that anything can be improved and the better one is the less improvement is needed. We can't tell from the video what every fireman's assignments are, backup, rescue, etc. Incident Command awaits input.
More videos like this please this was dope!!!!!

These guys save lives so if don't like you leave CA video!
I’ve said it before, and I say it again, in my opinion, the LAFD set the gold standard for fire professionals.❤️
Have you seen every fire department?
zuma
How many 1 3/4" lines do they need to pull?
Enough
This was quite refreshing to see compared to a lot of videos I’ve been seeing lately where everyone is taking their time. I watched one the other night where the neighboring house caught fire in the 5 minutes it took for the truck on scene to finally get the first 1 ¾” going.
I’ll take this “too many” and quick response any day over what seems to have become the norm with a lot of departments!
Enough to keep UA-cam comment sections happy
Awesome Video.
Great video, excellent editing!
Why are they just standing looking in five minutes before start put out the fire?
Great job, but look at the staffing. Nice to have a city back the department.
Dfgufk
wow great video
It’s a bummer they didn’t have a change to go to the roof for venting.
Awesome video!
I like how most of them carry an axe on their hip. Thats gotta make you strong.

That pickhead axe is a necessity for L.A. City and L.A. County Fire in case they're assigned to ventilate the roof, breach walls, or knock the hinges off doors.
Since when was T66 in a reserve? And great footage btw!
i think they switched into it this day, i remember hearing E66 & E266 running calls alone at some point during that day. thanks man!
Good performance by our LAFD pro's.
Why does this have so many dislikes what did they do wrong??? Im so confused
Another Great Video By A Great Buff! Keep up the good work Jayy
thanks alec! you’re the best, man.
I"m sorry, but the old Simon Duplex looks way better than the new Pierce. That old Simon unit may be old, but she's capable, and I see a lot of stations using the Simon as a backup before the LaFrance!
Gracia excelente trabajo por NOSOTRO ustedes todos DIOS ME LO CUIDE ENORMENTE
Very Dramatic footage!Good Work!Also good work and knockdown by the LAFD!
Why don’t you upload vids anymore?
it’s been one week......
Wow. Way too many people on the fireground compared to here in Australia. Quick to get on scene but slow to attack the fire. Great extinguishment and salvage. Nice job boys and girls
Australia has fire depts, I thought just kangaroos just live there
Fast and good work, thumbs higher than high.
Great video. Nice flames
thank you
Pre arrival for sure, the video shows 45 fire trucks coming from all over the globe
Great job
What rank are the orange helmets in LA?
captains
Oh gotcha. Our Captains wear red in MD and our safety officers are orange so was curious. Thanks!
Poor performance. Slow getting water to the fire. Too many fire fighters standing around. Too much man power???
Please tell all of us firefighters exactly what they could have done faster and better and how. Since so many feel it was an excellent job please bring us to our senses.
LAFD , one of the best !!!
Awesome catch! Funny how fast the trucks roll in when it isn't a medical...
Good
Firefighters have all my respect!

Takes a brave person to go inside that structure.
Decent camera work, excellent quality video, good drama capture, stay safe.
I hope one day i get to catch one in SBC. Cause they have lots of vegetation, home, commercial fires everytime
People are just like that. They do not understand a spotter, they think we are sansation seekers, but we capture the images because we like to see the emergency services at work. To support them
I'm not a firefighter so maybe one can answer a question. Why not just roll up next to that house and blast it immediately with the deck gun? Seemed like an easy shot to take?
that would be called “defensive mode” which this fire definitely did not cause for...you’ll see defensive mode used on greater alarm fires/fires that are too dangerous to send human life into. thanks for watching!
And this is what I find confusing. When the trucks arrive, if an interior attack is called for the men must lay hoses, make connections to pumper trucks and hydrants, don their breathing gear, and more. This is not an instantaneous process - even with good training it's still a minute or two.
Why not use those early minutes to blast it with the deck gun while this is happening, using the truck internal tank water supply? Can't you get that thing going within seconds of arrival?
Useing a deck gun on a structure this size has two major draw backs. #1 you could easily push the fire into unseen, unburned area. And #2 you could spred the fire with that much power. You'll see one FF with a streight streem in the front. This is dubed hitting it hard from the yard. This will cool the fire and eliminate the need for vert venting. There is no life in danger that they know of but that is always a possibility with homeless squating unbeknownst to anyone. Using a deck would turn the thermal integrity and scorch to death anyone inside.
Not to mention as the young man said that is reserved for defensive measures.
Idk about LAFD, but our deck guns are 500gpm...with a 750 gallon tank, you'll be out of water in a minute and a half. Then you don't have any water for hand lines...which can move around and get better angles, vs one big deck gun that isn't gonna be able to hit more than wherever its parked. Now we can, and will use it in that initial min before stretching handlines, but ultimately you need the handlines on a structure not the deck gun to extinguish. I know LAFD uses 1.75" attack line, we're using 1.5" with 125gpm nozzles, 4 lines is as much water as the deck gun, and looked like they had way more than that.
That was awesome! Bro
Great work!

Aussie firefighter here. first off, damn good job. But, can someone please tell me...Why do you guys don your facemasks in the hot zone? That would mean that all other work you're doing around the structure, the particulates would contaminate the inside of the mask prior to donning. Just doesn't make sense to me, different procedures, etc.
The video is very nice
