I have to say, these Stockton videos are the best out there, including how most vids show a beforehand view of the structures that are on fire which I really like. Not to mention that they are always on point and professional with the job they do. Much thanks and praise for all you guys!!
Man, Stockton Fire CANNOT be beat. They are so smooth, organized, patient, clear and direct with their communications and put water on the fire always so fast!
An excellent that shows what is happening and the radio traffic shows excellent incident command. Other videos that are great are BC David Decker from Newark OH and he is great at incident command. Stockton and Decker's videos should be required for new officers to help gain experience and confidence in their IC abilities!!!
yOU GUY'S ARE THE BEST VIDEO'S not only great in depth information and photo's of the building prior to fire so we know the building The people of Stocton should be proud to have you as there breave &great firefighters
glad no victims in this one, the idea someone can be trapped in a fire situation is terrifying enough thinking about let alone actually being the one stuck. YIKES! that fact these people are willing to enter a home on fire that is hotter than the sun is amazing to me. watching some of these type videos it amazes me and it amazes me more h ow they seem determined to deal with the situation, they hustle but look calm at the same time if that maeks any sense.
It is VERY sad when a bystander confidently states that a person is in the basement. Firefighters must always translate “there COULD be someone in basement based on what information and perspective?” Otherwise, we know houses have doors and people go in and out of them.
I'm not really deep into US firefighting techniques, but to me it doesn't make sense to vert vent a basement fire?! Maybe the structural differences make it necessary, but in my country we try to contain the fire in the basement and stop spread into the rest of the building. But anyways, fast work done here!

Tonio0205 each department has different procedures. Depending on the structure, cutting the roof is a last resort. If they have most of the fire knocked down and it does the job then fuck it lol
In non-sprinkler buildings vertical ventilation is very effective at preventing flashover by allowing heat and combustible fire gases to escape from the building.
Why has no one touched on the fact that a large amount of homes in the US are balloon frame construction? Meaning a basement fire typically winds up in the attic through the stud channels in old construction with no fire stops between floors
Great video, nice job! Were the reports of people trapped false? No to armchair quarterback, but was there a reason you didn't open the B-side basement windows up?
Martin O'Connor looks like they had guys in the center of the basement by the stairs, and they opened up alpha and delta. maybe they kept bravo closed to avoid creating a flow path right into the hose crew?
I know every dept does things a little different, but why would you open the roof on a 1 1/2 story building with a basement fire? That's only going to allow the little bit of heat and smoke out that made it to the attic through the walls and past 2 floors. As soon as the line opens up on the fire, open a vent on the first floor the same way you would the roof and that will allow all of the heat and smoke out. Keep a line ready for the first floor and take the windows to vet it. I NOT knocking them for what they did. I'm just giving my input keeping in mind I was NOT there. However, they did a great job knocking down the fire and saving the house.
Would it make sense for the engineers to have a helmet on when adjusting the hoses in front of the house to protect them from possible collapse or is that an overshot
I understand the first Engineer being committed to the pump panel but, as soon as he goes up to the structure and help feed hose doesn't OSHA require him to be in full turnout gear?
Not usually. Sometimes they think someone is there and better to be safe than sorry. In this case, most of the fire was in the basement so it went along with the interior attack. Now if the first floor had started to collapse it would have required them to pull out regardless to ensure FF safety.
I love these videos but i also appreciate how great the dispatchers are in these videos and their calm and nice voice.

Really appreciate the description of the actions of the fire fighters and the explanations of what is happening.

Love these, shows how quick you guys get to work

Rob Gresser I typically don’t comment on other people’s comments.. but this... this is gold! I completely agree.

I love the videos with the firefighters view. Keep up the good work
Lmao subtitles said “bungee jump out penguin facility”😅😂😂🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭
Fantastic video guys. well done on the job you all did. great work. God bless you all.

@@ninjabot567 can you explain to me witch side is witch please? I guess the initially faced one is alpha? And the clockwise or dofferent to that? 🤔
Must be busy someone's low battery radio chirp is always sounding in the videos

Charlie looks old enough to possibly be balloon frame? Different strokes for different folks.
I think hydraulical ventilation could've worked wonders here too
Is that a cow bell on the end of the aerial? If so is it used to hear when you get close enough to the roof?
If that's what it's for, that's genius
Great teamwork!
Glad no one was in there...
Job well done

In our department, protocol requires you to have a helmet on any time you are on a fire scene no matter where you are.
Josh Cannon true
What is operator 1
I understand the first Engineer being committed to the pump panel but, as soon as he goes up to the structure and help feed hose doesn't OSHA require him to be in full turnout gear?
Greg W what is this OSHA you speak of?
Do folks tend to lie about knowledge of trapped victims?
Not usually. Sometimes they think someone is there and better to be safe than sorry. In this case, most of the fire was in the basement so it went along with the interior attack. Now if the first floor had started to collapse it would have required them to pull out regardless to ensure FF safety.
People don't usually "lie" about it, they panic and say there's somebody inside without really knowing for sure
thaats crazy
Great Video. Please remember the possibility to use hydraulic ventilation. Using an outwards facing water stream to suck the vapor out of the house.
