TFD does have a policy of aggressive firefighting and doing interior attacks. If you see TFD crews doing a defensive exterior attack, it means their chief decided it's way too dangerous to send the crews in. To these firefighters, the fire is the enemy and they intend to defeat it.
That's a problem everywhere homeless people find an unoccupied house and move in. Next thing you know it catches fire from them cooking, smoking, or starting a small fire just to stay warm.
Surprised to see you guys walk right into a well involved fire room. Knock that $%# down a little more first. A good fireman cares less about having a burnt lid and more about their skin! Stay safe!
@@shelbythompson4237 There is a difference between an aggressive knockdown and walking into a room that is literally in flashover, no offense Shelia; and exactly what do you mean by generator?
@@shelbythompson4237 Sure, I wasn't there but when watching the vid it is pretty obvious the entire room is well involved. It also appears that one of the fire fighters enters and immediately retreats. I assumed it was due to the conditions. I personally would have applied water through the door for a moment longer before I headed in, that's all. I admire aggressive fire fighting and am a fan of getting the first line in place asap but I like to do it as safe as possible. Interesting terminology too Sheila! I've read IFSTA "Fundamentals of Fire Fighting" manual from cover to cover numerous times and don't recall seeing generator used in that context. Most of us in the fire service refer to the origin or the big part of the fire as the SEAT as well, not the seed. I'm not trying to prove anything here and have mad respect for my fellow fire fighters. Just always trying to learn and share knowledge. Be safe!
@@shelbythompson4237 Normally I would have left this alone with the last comment, but seeing's you see me a threatening (as I clearly can tell with the who's bigger comment) I wanna point out a few other observations I made. Numerous guys on that department have black visors which clearly tells me, you guys like to get close to the heat and by that I mean too close. Your actions here are probably going to continue until someone does get hurt or killed. Understand clearly, I don't wish this upon anyone! There were boards on the windows which leads me to believe this house was most likely vacant. Why be aggressive in this situation? After the fire is controlled, numerous guys are seen entering the building while it is still literally burning without SCBA's donned. Why take the risk of breathing the byproducts of combustion, especially in an older structure with asbestos shingles and no obvious ventilation has taking place. Is future cancer not of concern? I didn't happen to see any females in the vid as well, but to be fair, I didn't try hard to find any and maybe again I've assumed that Sheila is a ladies name and that is not the case? So now I'm curious... Were you even there Sheila?
What an amazing crew. Every7knows what their job is the moment they hop out of the truck. Great job. You all are our heroes
Even engine 17 was there and that's further east.
Great video!!!! Well done!!!!! Tulsa has beautiful looking apparatus!!!!!!
AWESOME 👏 Excellent warning lights on the front of their truck at middle level. Got water fast & did their job. Thanks 🙏
First class effort by all. Straight into that raging inferno albeit organised and prepared! Well done all!!Stay safe and well

2002 n. Atlanta Ave (Tulsa) ls that like Atlanta and Ute st.?
They are the true heroes. They should be making what the football players are making for a living. These men and women are about ALL LIVES MATTER.
God bless them all and keep them safe
Good knock down!! Keep up the great work, brother's.
This was my house, back in 1999 I'm glad I moved out in 2004
👍🇺🇸
wonder what started fire, house didn’t have electricity. Just about every firefighters turnout gear needs to be cleaned.
squatters

I assure you these are good firemen.
