The Lake George Fire Department responded to numerous reports of a structure fire at 7 Bradley Street at the north end of the village. A passing firefighter from a neighboring department called the 911 center to confirm there was a well involved garage fire at that location. The first due engine laid a supply line from the bottom of the street up to the scene. While the supply line was being established, a deck gun was used to knock down the flames as the garage was in close proximity to the house. Additional manpower was provided on the scene from Bay Ridge Fire Dept.

I understand protecting the exposure but at the same time there were people walking around that could have gotten another line off the engine and actually put out the fire.
I'm a big believer in keeping outbuildings far away from the residence.
if the truck had taken the garage door first thing, the jump line off the engine could have knocked it down in half the time.
The guys on the D side of the shed did a great job. Not sure why that was the only line operating but if they only had one line to work with then it was used very effectively.
I love when they use the deludge/deck gun!
Y'all should learn how to put out a fire. Why you have one hose spraying a wall. Put water thru the collapsed garage door.
Good to see a North Country FD protect the exposures first. Good job!
Lightly melted the siding. Can't complain
the garage was a goner but I saw they were moving back and forth to cover the exposures and still hit the garage while sending in personnel to check the inside of the house.
If you move the hose line to the front of the shed, and put the fire out,,,, no exposure problems.
@@JosephRHuber the fire was fed by two 100 lb propane tanks, leaking around the threads of the valve. Put them out, and you have a non visible gas. Also, the garage had a converter for vegetable oil into bio diesel inside. The garage was gone from the beginning. There was also a 200lb tank behind the shed but thankfully that one was able to be secured.
@@Theupstateidiots that would do it. Thank you. It's hard in these videos with no size up to understand what the operations are.
I guess being called the fire department doesn't specify if they put it out or watch it burn out
Assume water supply was an issue. Glad to see the exposure kept cool. Deck gun was cool.. if ineffective
Deck gun was a total waste of time and water.
In the words of the old Chinese fire chief Sum Ting Wong, "fire inside, water outside, no workee"
This was very painful to watch. Why didn't the truck company take down the garage door? Two engines. Certainly should have been more lines in use! Etc
Is it just me or was exposure 4 (the residence) amouldering all this time? At the very least, take a can and wet it down before you establish a water supply. The house is much more important then the garage. Just saying.......
from my angle John, it didn't look like the fire made it to the porch but there was a handline behind the garage that was being used back & forth between the garage & the porch.
If that many propane tanks were involved, they picked a really poor location to park. And why are they letting a civilian just walk around on scene that close to the tanks on fire??? A deck gun only works if you can penetrate the structure and put water on the fire...
Yep. The bloody deck gun water just deflected off the whole time they used it, lol. Could have made better use of it by just give the exposure a bit of cooling while the were sorting out a hydrant and other hoselines but the wasted the whole tank.
Painful to watch...
Very.
The House was saved..That's a good job.
I enjoy watching a deck gun go to work.
you don't normally see that around here, but I thought that was a pretty good idea to use tank water, blast that garage while the 5" supply line was being hooked to the hydrant.
@@HotShotsFireVideos Total waste of time and water, it just deflected of the garage. Had the garage door been burnt away then it would have been of use, but you dont need a deck gun for a small garage like that . We would just use a couple of high pressure hosereels.
Nice job!
Quick and efficient use of the deck gun. Smart.
it was useless
That is so ridiculous takes them so long to put out a little shed fire disgrace
From what I read after the investigation as to cause of the fire - the fire department was concentrating on protecting exposures. Apparently the homeowner had a propane tank hooked to a propane heater. He thought the propane tank was empty when he hooked up a fresh tank & set the "empty" tank aside. The residual propane from the "empty" tank was ignited by the heater. The resulting fire caused the propane from the fresh tank to blow off as it should.
Ever heard of using sledge hammer on garage door? Make easy entry? Who ever is in charge of training, needs replaced
Omg.....deckgun on a shed fire???
Good safe work
There's safe working and there's I'm not sure what to here, the roof and the side of the garage did what there was suppose to do, keep the rain out ie water from the line (jet). Had they open or forced the garage door the fire would not have got a hold, even if the had open the door and let the deck gun take over, the fire would have been extinguished quickly. From experience the only way to knock down a fire like that is to get inside and attack from within unless they use it to store dangerous materials then take up defensive firefighting ie surround and drown.
I love the use of big water to slow it down some great work guys
But they didnt. The deck gun water was just wasted as it just deflected of the garage.
@@andyoxleyonhistravels omg i didnt see that and what upset me they kept spraying the house instead of going after the shed
@@jelracer98 I dont mind them having a quick spray of the house if it is likely to become involved but the snow on the roof hasnt melted so i dont think the house is in imminent danger . They could have just made better use of their water in their initial attack ,but i am sure they are trying the best.
@@andyoxleyonhistravels I noticed that but i have used the deck gun to darken a fully involved house with fire through the roof yes seemed like they was wasting time and water but none of us are perfect like i have been told that I'm not a perfect firefighter / emt i have been doing this for 44 years and just got told 2 months ago that I'm not their chief and not to say not to tell them to use the deck gun on a barn fire that they was using a 1 1/3 on single line and all kinds of water
@@jelracer98 To be fair we got rid of deck guns 20 years ago. We use ground monitors as you can put them where you want. Deck guns are stuck with the truck so very limited. We never use a larger hose of any kind until we have got a hydrant set in. High pressure hosereels are used for 90% of fires over here simply because they are so easy and quick to get to work and move around inside a structure but i hear you guys dont seem to like them over there.
Hooterville Hose! Was this a lesson on what NOT to do? Deck gun, useless.
One nozzle? That’s puzzling? Water an issue?
There was a second one out back cooling a propane tank. There were two 100 lb propane tanks inside on fire and one 200 lb tank behind the garage. Along with a vegetable oil to biodiesel converter.
I see. Thank You for the info!
Absolute waste of big water on a 10 by 12 shed
Spot on. Dont need a deck gun on a little garage
I counted 3 propane tanks as part of the exposures? I witnessed a few people walk right by them? Any reason they were left in close proximity to the burning structure?
that I don't know John
@@HotShotsFireVideos I work as a lineman for the local power company. Sometimes I respond structure fires to shut off the power. In my capacity I often notice things like that & move them out of the way. Then let the safety officer know later what I did. Often with structure fires we respond just to kill power to the structure in question. Sometimes if the fire department puts up a ladder on the roof & extends under or near our wires. We might isolate the street or the entire line. Sometimes we call in outside resources because when we drop an entire line? We turn off traffic lights on a nearby highway. We have state police in place before we kill the line.
Is this a volunteer fire dept?
yes
I'm not going to trash these guys. They coulda done better but oh well it's not an occupied dwelling. No hydrants = water issues from go. Everyone with the smash the garage door! You're living in the past. *Partner Saw* instead. You could train the probies giving them some knob time. I'm fortunate here in PA 6 dept's merged and they got their sh*t together. From college dornms to river rescues go Blue Rock Regional Fire Rescue.
