      @@SocialistDistancing Yeah, I think they were starting to question interior conditions. It was starting to push some rather heavy black smoke. Depending on the heat they must have been feeling, they may have wanted a second to think. It was probably about a minute and a half or so before it was gonna flash. So it was a good thing they went ahead and threw some water at it before going in too far.

      if you back up to around 3:50 you can see that fire is getting behind them and he was saying to knockdown what ever was burning to the right of the door. You can hear him say "get all this fire knocked down" After that they went right back in. At first glance i thought he was panic ordering.

    Glad to know that not all companies in that area are as bad as new Kensington. Although officers had to damn near baby sit and hold the roof crews hand through doing roof work it was still a pretty good knock and they did good saving the structure for restoration work to be done in the future and not having to demo the entire thing. They stretched a line and went interior immediately, made the push and laddered the SHIT out of the dwelling. Good on them it’s a shame that new Kensington companies don’t take notes from their mutual aid departments when on one of their jobs to see what an interior attack looks like. My only BIG bitch is the fact that there’s so many people hovering over the charlie side door on the deck doing nothing but waiting.

      With the volume of fire they had; they most surely wanted to check for exposure to the attic. And it's hard to pull ceilings down with very hot smoke and steam at neck level. But what's really a pain is taking up and going back to the station only to get called back out for the attic re-ignition. A lot of people are going to be mad, and if it wasn't a total loss; it would be then. So there are several purposes. Those are just a few of the obvious ones. As long as those FFs know that the ladder is in a different place, sure. And yes you can do opposing lines if you coordinate well. Particularly if you have the bulk of the fire knocked down and you can see the crew on the other side. The porch in the back would be too small to run your backup line in there. In the case of an emergency evac, there would have been a deadly bottleneck at the door and on deck. Conditions were pretty ripe, so I would not have wanted two hoses going in the same door either.

      Good and valid questions. From what I could see, the rear was the main fire location when "They" arrived. We, got there late. You always hit the fire room from the outside before going inside. The roof never needs to be cut at any fire. Horizontal venting will do the same thing faster and safer and give you access to the burning material through those windows for fast and safe extinguishment to protect the victims and entering firefighters.

      @@friendlyneighborhoodcow8776 For what it’s worth I’m a career fire Lt, been on the job almost 23 years. Just saying my background not showing you my gonads LOL.All that aside, generally you open roofs on fires that can’t be well vented through windows. That place was chugging smoke on arrival, but once they knocked it down and gave it a couple minutes it was venting itself nicely through the eaves and gable ends. Years ago that was the bread and butter to get up there and cut it open but there really needs to be a need. For example high heat inside when people are working or being kept from advancing. If you can see daylight straight through the house as in our case here windows are good. Knock it, back off and watch that things get smaller,grayer and less pressurized as a couple minutes pass. Maybe send somebody up to look around too. Even if it got into the attic you can you pop a couple holes and open a fog nozzle up there and that would take care of that. Not knocking you just giving some context.

    • @marcusrice501

    Good knock down , I would definitely have some of those younger guys , if not everyone train in ladder and roof ops . You could see the inexperience . And I’ll be honest , they both appeared really nervous getting on that roof . If they were uncomfortable they should have let the IC know and he could have had a couple other guys cut that hole . There’s no shame in feeling uncomfortable. I’d rather have my guys come up to me and tell me they don’t feel comfortable doing something then to have them doubting something that could hurt them or guys around them . There’s plenty of other things they could have done instead . But I know pride kinda gets in the way sometimes and the fear of others looking at you like a coward . But safety comes before anything. And honestly, you could have probably gotten away with not cutting that hole . Early on yes , but at that point in the fire it was basically knocked and vented pretty good . Stay safe gentlemen

    • @JB91710
      @JB91710 3 роки тому +3

      Finally! An intelligent person leaves a comment on a fire video. I will interject a few things to consider.
      1. There isn't enough information to determine if this was a good or bad knock down although they did look aggressive and did bring a charged line into the rear slider.
      2. It looked like that front room could have used some water from a second line instead of extinguishing it through the rear door. Seconds count!
      3. Roof opps are generally useless and expose the firefighters to unnecessary risk. The front window and back sliding door were venting along with the soffit vents. Opening a hole early on would have turned this into a structure fire when the flames entered the hole in the ceiling and ignited the smoldering attic gasses. The only thing that would have changed inside with VVing is the fire would have gotten worse if water wasn't immediately applied.
      4. The way you put safety before anything including Search and Rescue is to eliminate the threats before going inside. You can vent fire room windows and get tank water on Visible Burning Material faster than you can get fully dressed, assemble and entry team and get the door open. They led the interior assault with a charged line which showed that intent.
      Vertical Venting is an unnecessary danger to firefighters. Watch these videos and ask yourself, "What are they REALLY accomplishing up there?"

You're essentially giving the smoke a path to go so that visibility on the interior improves, as well as reducing the risk of backdraft. Because of how the smoke and fire works, horizontal venting only really helps with backdrafts as visibility is still going to be awful.
      You don't vent to make the fire any better. It does the opposite. It's why you don't vent every fire, or at least do it at a different time when certain areas are under control already.

      These guys did fine for the limited training and resources. I assume they are volunteers. Far from perfect but at least they pulled a line and went inside.

      Firefighters on here commenting on other firefighters fires. Probably someone who just got out of the academy with the negative comments.

      @@rfdfire911 I'm all for harsh criticism when it is warranted, there are plenty of terrible fires on UA-cam! But you are right, the guys on here are probably kids who just finished their FF1 trying to get on the job.

    So that homeowner definitely used deck screws in his doors coverplates. If you use the dinky screws that come with most lock sets one kick is normally all it takes.

    It would be helpful if videographers would give the locations of these scenes. What state? What county? Not every viewer is familiar with the town/village/borough names. Thanks.

    Good video. Thanks. Looks like they got a quick knock-down and took care of the victim quickly.

    Seeing a firefighter use a dangerous aluminum ladder is weird because they conduct electricity......you'd think fiberglass would be all they would use

    Hit the aloha side with the deck gun!!!! (Only if it’s not going to cook the guys) Sucks how they’re under utilized. While you’re at it Grab a fan too!

    Is the videographer looking through the lens? Wipe off the water? Why is it so bouncy?

      Too close...don't need close-ups and you are almost in the way. Better view from further back and stable so view is of larger area.
