As a volunteer firefighter for 33 years, the last 12 as a lieutenant, it's nice to see a cross lay pulled the proper way. So many of these videos show cross lays being pulled then dropped into a pile. The next couple of minutes the fire fighter spends trying to untangle the hose. That time could be used to put water on the fire. I love watching this channel.
A friend of mine is a retired Assistant Fire Cheif. He has taught me a few things about fire science and combating fire, so watching these videos is a bit more interesting for me now that I have some understanding of fire.
Considering how few videos on UA-cam seem to show it, it's great to see you guys BAing up en route so you're ready to go soon as you hop off the engine. So many videos have engines arriving and firefighters don't even have packs on, much less masks.
Many departments don’t allow masking up in the rigs. It has to be done on scene. Many don’t allow helmets to be worn in the rigs either. If you have a helmet on and you roll your likely to break your neck. People have to follow their departments SOPs.
Actually if you read the NFPA , you are not supposed to ride with helmet on. Also a lot of studies show that the mask on promotes tunnel vision and causes members to put them selfs and others in harms way.
Craig Rhineer Jr in some cases you have too be quick but a vehicle fire is not one of them. As long as there are no exposures or lives in danger there is no reason to rush. There isnt really any saving too be done on a vehicle. Pretty much once a fire starts in a vehicle its totaled and insurance takes over.
@@Fire-Rescue50 Another Great Vid! It's nice to show & see when the Chief always gets involved w/the fire fight! Most people (non-ff) think they just stand around and mand the radio's not our's & not your's!! Believe your "HelmetCam" video's are one of the Best out there!Keep up the Great Work Brother's And Stay Safe.....Happy Holidays from Vol. @ 906 in Jersey..
If you don't mind my asking , What happened to that truck? Sitting on a jobsite it seemed to be loaded with gravel. There is not much back there to ignite as far as a source to short out, or anything like that.
@@Fire-se9sg Yeah that is what i thought to, but he had the truck on a job site . Surely he did not drag the brakes that far. I have owned and still own several tri axle dumps for the last 25 years.
a.r. hays one would think that wouldn’t happen but they could have been stuck. It’s truly hard saying. My dad was a truck driver for years as well, and firefighter and we saw this stuff all the time
I have never seen a Dept. bring their used hoselines back to the station in the cab of the rig, I would think the contaminates alone would be enough to keep it out of where your sitting and breathing, guess everyone is different
It’s out of the way if they get another call on the way back. Compartments are probably full. We used to put rolled hose on the tail gate but things do fall off the truck every once in awhile.
FN videos a lot of departments are switching to the MSA G1. They come with an equipped thermal imager, more adjustability when it comes to lumbar support. Much better pack in my opinion since I’ve been around them. And don’t get me wrong Scott is an amazing air pack as well
FireRescue 50 agreed as well, I know newer Scott’s if specd with their newest face pieces come with tics as well? I’m not 100% sure though. I haven’t seen much of the newer Scott’s
New scbas are junk everyone I’ve seen with them has had problems with batteries, software issues, tic completely outta wack bulky and way to much accessories to get entangled with

Masks stay off until your ready to go in or fight fire , it limits and constricts your full view
Kaleb Johnson i only have my mask on in the truck for 2-3 minutes in the truck if it’s a vehicle fire. Otherwise it stays off till we get on scene.
Hi
I love this guys at station 50 they are so professional and all volunteer
Awesome footage! Love how fast you attacked that one!! Nice job!
i would have been pissed if the pump operator charged my line when i was flaking it out lol
maybe you should be faster
@@juniorcraig7046 thats not how it works
everything is on the nozzleman, if he isnt ready it can ruin the entire stretch.

Y'all seem to be getting alot of vehicle fires lately, sweet vid though, you ever going to do a tour of the station?
That’s what I was going to ask! It’s a good idea
Love the video keep it up #abig fan
Thank you!

I want to see more videos that is being shot at the windshield bring them back please
Good work brother! Stay safe!
I thought you guys had an 8 person pierce engine also.
That's our rescue
Was probably the breaks that over heated
brakes *
I think the same
Thats a brake job right there. Always gotta cool your brakes.
If you don't mind my asking , What happened to that truck? Sitting on a jobsite it seemed to be loaded with gravel. There is not much back there to ignite as far as a source to short out, or anything like that.
Maybe overheated brakes? Just a thought.
My guess is overheated brakes. It looks like he was pulling out onto to street if you pay attention to the video
@@LiamPattisonPhotography I thought the same thing, But he was on the jobsite . Surely he did not drag the brakes that far.

Most contamination from this fire would’ve been dirt and mud on a hose, I imagine they would’ve rethought that had it been a house fire
@@Fire-se9sg Exactly. Large fires we use the squad to bring hose back
Didn't take long for the burned areas of metal to start rusting.
Is there FDs that still use MSA? Ive been to like 5 different departments in norcal and they all switched to SCOTT scba
We (and many others around us) just switched from scott to msa
FN videos a lot of departments are switching to the MSA G1. They come with an equipped thermal imager, more adjustability when it comes to lumbar support. Much better pack in my opinion since I’ve been around them. And don’t get me wrong Scott is an amazing air pack as well
@@Fire-se9sg Said well. Personally would've been happy with either
FireRescue 50 agreed as well, I know newer Scott’s if specd with their newest face pieces come with tics as well? I’m not 100% sure though. I haven’t seen much of the newer Scott’s

I am thinking overheated brakes cause the fire.
You guys run all smooth bores on that engine?
What is that foam type liquid you are spraying
Fire retardant maybe? I asked the same thing.
Its called a foam pro pack and mixes with water from the booster line
@@nickharrison6841 They are really good to have on a truck
Bad brakes or bad tires?
The guy probably forgot to release the parking break
Hi
Is that water or fire retardant that you are using?
Its called a foam pro pack and mixes with water from the booster line
Thanks
Anyone know the cause?
kitzy katz by looks of it brakes overheated
@@jays106 thanks.
Wow I think I smoked to much my head is in a fog
I'll bet his brakes on that wheel didn't release and he didn't know it

Rookie!
Those helmets need replacing!
Look at Detroit firefighters gear if you think that's bad !!!
Lol no those are just leather helmets that have seen plenty of jobs. You can wear a helmet for years with no issue.
