Thank you for producing this. The risk in being very forthcoming is what creates the most value in this video. This takes courage but I am certain it will help others to reflect on associated risks and readjust their approach. I am a firefighter in Colchester but also dabble in video production. When I was working in Health with the province, every death or near miss required a non judgmental review of what went well and what was to be improved upon for the next event. Complete integrity in truth and full disclosure was the only path to preventing the same thing happening again. Kudos to Halifax Fire...this is very important knowledge transfer. May save lives.

After action quilty control review is a GOOD thing. Glad everything worked out for the best. Preplanning is key as well. Lessons learned is key, what worked, what didn't what could we do differently.
Glad that everything turned out okay! Thank you for takng the opportunity to share with other firefighters what you guys went through with extracting the three firefighters who found themselves in a mayday mayday mayday situation. It is easy to arm chair these types of incidents and decision, but thing for certain those that were not there to experience the traumatic weight of decision-making to get these brothers out with much of the firefighting activities having yet to be solidly established. There were numerous factors on this fire that as captain made initial decisions to quickly get behind the power curve. The main thing is that no froze, but yoy purposefully moved toward where you felt the firefighters were in trouble -- the old rule of following their interior attack lines. You were able to successfully rescue the 3 disorientated brother firefighter! Great! Don't beat yourself up over success!!!!
Jake Green ….. and to those producing this “Training Video” I am not a firefighter, however, being neutral and hearing what you described, I must say that the training failed no one. This was a first class save. No matter how intensive the training, a firefighter, hearing a brother call mayday, is going to set human emotions loose. Suddenly, it became a different ballgame…. and because of your training, you and your team reacted to save your brothers. Don’t second guess the training…..you followed it and saved 3 brother firefighters who were down ! What this shows to an idiot is this……. Training, good training, does not rule. It cannot fit ALL situations you encounter. What it DOES DO is provide you with the correct mindset to IMPROVISE safely. You saved 3 brothers in trouble….. everyone got out safe……the training you said went out the window actually didn’t….. it told you your situation depended on you being able to improvise….. and sir….. that is exactly what you did. A salute to you and your team sir ! Stand proud !

The initial officer announced a defensive strategy, completed the 360 and then changed his strategy to offensive and made entry with his crew, as per training and policy/procedure. It's on the tape.

Training is an everyday thing, and learning never stops. Sharing these stories is difficult but necessary to save lives and help make everyone better.
Thank you for having the courage to publicly discuss this. Train like your life, and your fellow firefighter’s lives depend upon it.

Great Job.
I am hoping in my fire career I never hear that. God bless for fire departments and mutual aides.
Thank you for sharing.

Why did they even go interior when they were told by officer it would be defensive attack
If you didn't catch it in the radio traffic, at 37:35 one of the captains states that command announced an offensive strategy during the size -up
The initial officer announced a defensive strategy, completed the 360 and then changed his strategy to offensive and made entry with his crew, as per training and policy/procedure. It's on the tape.
They changed their strategy from defensive to offensive.
