Newark Ohio Fire Department Fire Alarm Is A Working Fire. Battalion-1 Dash-cam

- Опубліковано 18 сер 2019
- On June 4th, 2019 at 1526 hours NFD units were dispatched to 145 S. 22nd Street, American Crane (former building owner) for an activated fire alarm. NFD responded with 2 Ladders, 1 Engine/Rescue, 1 Medic and Battalion-1. Upon arrival of Battalion-1 heavy smoke is visible from an overhead garage door and the call is upgraded to a working commercial fire.
The building is a T-shaped, and approximately 200x300. The interior is divided into 2 areas and mostly used for storage of cars, boats and motorhomes.
When Battalion-1 made entry there were 3 or 4 employees inside the building attempting to extinguish the fire with fire extinguishers. Ladder-3 made entry with an attack line and Rescue-1 assisted them with a back-up line and the fire remaining fire was quickly extinguished. One employee was evaluated by Medic-3 for smoke inhalation.
This video was recorded with a Motorola Z Force Droid cellphone.

Ok everyone, I'm going to put this out there for all of the keyboard warriors who choose to make stupid comments. You weren't there. If you have questions or want to discuss tactics, you are in the right place. I'm all about learning and helping others learn. If you feel compelled to act like a fool and make stupid comments, just know that as soon as I get the push notification I will shut you down and that will be you last comment you make on any of my videos. I have blocked about 10 people since posting this video.
With that being said, when I arrived and entered through the overhead garage door, the smoke was layered so well that I could see from one end of the building to the other. When I announced "fire department" I could hear at least two different people calling for help. I proceeded through the west side of the building, announcing "come to voice". This is a high risk and high reward scenario. We will risk a lot to save a lot. I would say rescuing two people out of a burning building is saving a lot. As I proceeded toward the voices I could see them exit through the opposite overhead garage door (that is visible after I moved my car), so I exited the building through the closest door to me (again, visible after I moved my car). I remained on foot on the south side of the building talking with the civilians to confirm all civilians were accounted for and out of the building. I also provided face-to-face instructions to the Ladder-3 crew. I did not remain inside the building or suffer any smoke inhalation.
I hope this is helpful and will reduce the number of people that I need to block in the upcoming days. It's up to you.
You did an amazing job and as my instructors in my 36 class has been saying protecting lives is our number 1 and you showed that well here
In addition great display of ic
I truly enjoy your videos and do understand that you personally put a tremendous amount of unpaid time , money and effort to put these very instructional videos that Fire , EMS can learn so much from. It is a sad commentary of our times , that again you must put up with “ keyboard warriors “ who troll with hate and vitriol. It takes Moral Courage and leadership to allow professional discourse in the form of comments and response , from which I learn a great deal. Your dedication and professionalism is truly impressive. Thank you and the Men and Women from your Department and Mutual Aid Companies in allowing us to witness and learn superior Fire Ground Tactics and Procedures. SF
The way the video looks you walked into the building, ordered the fire to stop, and walked back! lol
😂🤣 what a savage! ...hopefully will "reduce the number of people I need to block in the upcoming days..."
Kudos, well played.👌👍
See new Chief Decker post... suddenly have "to use the restroom" at work...lol
Retired from firefighting 4 years ago, but still learning from your videos, David. Always great communications and tactics. Blessings to you and your men! Stay safe....
Hey Chief Decker, thank you sir for your time to post another greatly appreciated video! You and your department RULES! You sir set the bar so high in your professionalism and capabilities! I keep on telling you that you sir should be the stars of Live Rescue on A&E or on First Responders on Fox ? What do we need to help make this happen sir? I'm telling you the Chief Decker Nation's wanting to see our Department on the TV ? Every one that agrees with me let's show Chief Decker by a big THUMBS UP?👨🚒👩🚒👍
This is a 9.5 out of 10. Why not a 10 you ask, because we didn't get to ride through town in the Chief's SUV, seeing more of Newark and listening to the radio chatter. I especially like the bang de bang going over RR tracks, and the throaty sound of the vehicle with the pedal to the metal. Please forgive me, I'm a geriatric adolescent.
@Bill Williams I'll try to post a video of me responding across town. And I agree with you. I love to hear the engine growl.
I’m not a firefighter, but I’m an EMT. I really enjoy your videos as great examples of calm leadership and great communication in emergency situations.
Thank you.
Watching you work Chief continues to be a pleasure and a non stop education.
Never ceases to amaze me how efficient and effective Newark (OH) FD is.
I'm also not a fire fighter. I'm a small business owner and i just want to say, you and your crew to me do an outstanding job for your community! Real Hero's at work on here.
Wooohoooo chief you’re back we’ve missed you!!!
Your Department is obviously very well trained. There is zero excitement , anxiety ( Anxiety is contagious ) , no running ,jogging , just calm purposeful movement from one task to the next. When I saw the initial size up and amount of smoke , coupled with a LARGE commercial space , I expected a huge extension and multiple alarms. With your decades of experience and education , even being a Flight Paramedic as well , I was quite comfortable seeing you calmly march into the building sans turnout gear , helmet etc. Only years of experience and continuous learning and self critiquing , allows one to carefully be savvy enough for that quick interior visual assessment
. After pondering this Fire , I presume that you got the citizens out of harms way , and then based on that quick look modified the attack plan.
It is awesome to witness the cross training and collective teamwork wherein the first Apparatus is a Truck Company who immediately switched into a First In Engine Company , other Departments are soooo stubborn regarding Engine v Truck work.
I had to really think hard about the water supply , as I , from the comfort of my reading chair and with a steady supply of Hot Pockets , finally understood that your quick assessment kept you three or four steps ahead of the tactics and procedures. Using tank water and two Attack lines quickly knocked the Fire down.
I was also impressed by your critical thinking of having the next Engine stand by at the hydrant versus laying a long supply line. ( That by itself would effectively take another Engine Company out of service for the rest of your AO ) . I expected the Second ladder to rapidly ventilate with Saws and pike poles. No , they used high tech imaging to check for extension . The Captain inside said they could use some ventilation. Again I am impressed that no unnecessary damage was done to the property as in super aggressive ventilation , windows being broken , holes cut into roofs and such. Nope , not your Department.....a couple of fans / smoke ejectors did the job. Other “ Professional Fire Departments “ relish the joy of cutting holes in roofs , destroying windows and the like .
What could have been a Three Alarm surround and drown was changed into
Rescue of life
Quick knockdown and containment
No unnecessary property damage or smoke and water damage.
All of this while still keeping other vital Medic Units , Truck and Engine Companies in service.
Why ? Because your Men and Women obviously drill a lot , use critical thinking before, during and after events. Plus the First In , Last Out Officer , knows intuitively and academically what has occurred ,what will occur and leads by example.
I’m not being obsequious, I just wish to acknowledge your leadership and potentially negate those who vilify you .
Who else has been just waiting
True
sometimes I feel guilty for being so happy when you put up a new video. Fast knock down another great job by your team.
It’s ironic, I just got back from a call and saw you posted a video and I got excited to see what you all have been up to! Good work Chief! Keep it up!
Man when you said people needed to be rescued, my heart dropped. Glad you got there quickly and everyone's out safe! Had to be scary for them!
Another great video and knockdown. You're always so informative with your videos. A great learning tool for all.
I just want to say how much I appreciate this channel. To have the radio traffic overlaid perfectly is such a huge benefit to understanding the challenges ff's face.
ALWAYS LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, YOU ARE A TRUE PROFESSIONAL. THANKS FOR SHARING.
Another good video chief got the fire knocked down fast, as always made sure you had enough manpower in case needed help you and your firefighters are staying safe and well hydrated during these hot days
one of the most effective fire departments on UA-cam. You guys do a great job of working together and most of all putting the fire out. Great job guys.
Thanks.
GOD BLESS ALL THE FIRST RESPONDERS THANK YOU YOU ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED
Awesome job chief. Thanks for posting another great training video on how IC should be ran. Stay safe brother.
So glad to see you are back! You have been missed! Thanks for sharing!
I am a big fan of your content (= good to see new stuff in the best quality as ever!
I get the idea of lay flat hoses, can put more hose on the truck, but seems to be harder to get out and not twisted so water can flow. Our department experimented with a 1 inch reinfoced high temp rubber hose on a reel to quick deployment to get water on the fire while the lay flat hoses were setup. It worked pretty well to knock down small fires or protect exposures of nearby structures keeping them wet to prevent extension into another building/shed/vehicle while larger hoses were setup.
Sweet knockdown! Job well done by your teams. Good to see you posting again. I was wondering if we were going to see more vids by you. Stay safe to you and the rest of your team
I have been waiting 3 long months thank you so much
Sorry for the delay. Lol
David Decker it’s ok always worth the wait,Great work .
1 more great video from bat 1 . great size up David
Thank you for all you do - and especially these videos. I’m a new volunteer (prepping for FF 1 exam now) and these videos help me reinforce in my head the various benchmarks we are taught in training.
please dont stop your videos i truely love watching them
Another great job, Chief.
The Command structure and training shines through in everything you do. From Dispatch to Chief to the lowest member, everyone knows their job and does it correctly. This department is a perfect example of team work and correct training. Thank you for sharing.
A very impressive look at the Fire Fighting operations, from the viewpoint and command decisions from the First on scene Battalion Chief.
Great video, sure do miss them. Keep up the great work and stay safe
Thanks. Again! Always interesting.
Love your videos David. I know just how hectic a fire scene can be, and I admire your composure & professionalism. You seem to approach your scenes with a knowledge only experience can provide. I’d love to set and chop it up with you about the fire service, get inside your head on a lot of things. You & your department have my utmost respect, stay safe!
Was starting to get a bit worried about you there Chief.
Another great video. Be safe out there chief
I enjoy all your videos. Your fire department do a awesome job every time.
Nice picture,nice coverage and even a better job ! Kudos to all of you ! Stay awesome and be safe!
What was the cause of the fire? I was thinking about your channel the other day and was hoping you had not stopped posting. Thanks for the video.
I love watching these videos. I learn something new about strategy and tactics in every one of them. Plus it's fun to imagine that it's actually Ron Swanson in command.
Chief, Wonderful Video. Thanks
Always good to see how other Brigades operate , thanks for letting us View and learn. Only wish the video was longer.
There's few more chilling things to hear from a fire comm that a fire building is occupied. That's when s**t gets real in a hurry. It looks like you caught this one early, though, which is nothing but good, and it was knocked down and contained very quickly.
A lot of people don't realize that one of the pieces of equipment a lot of fire companies carry are fans! Fans can help a lot with ventilation, and/or venting smoke. It's nice to see a video where they get put to good use.
As always, very very informative. Thank you!
It definitely impacts the risk analysis and alters strategy. Thankfully they were able to self evacuate when we arrived.
@@commandvisionfire And for whatever it's worth... your videos have taught me more then just about any other about how fires are handled. You've given me a *great* deal of outstanding information for my short story, not to mention all the work you do for your community. My hat's off to you, sir. Keep up the great work.
“And they say that a hero can save me, I’m not gonna stand here and wait” nfd gets it done. Nice 360.
Chief Decker this is another interesting video thank you
Another great job Chief!!
Good job chief and your crews as well
Oh the thrill of being first in! The first thing you learn being chief is how to take a deep breath first. Good job guys!
great video - fantastic work
I enjoy watching your videos! Thank you
I feel this ended too soon. Still like to see more of the communications and how it was completed.
Sorry about that. For the most part, we ran a ventilation fan for a few minutes and made sure the hot spots were out.
Great job, as usual!
Thank you Chief for sharing.... I appreciate it.
Twice this year we have been toned for a fire alarm activation and it turns out to be a working fire. Goes to show you that you never know! Great quick decision making and stay safe out there.
Well done lads !
Be safe out there firefighter keep up the good work
You're crew keep working like a well oiled machine. 👍🏻
Great job Chief!!!!!!!
There appears to be a lot of fires in Newark, Ohio. Luckey for that city they have you for a Chief. It's obvious the crew respects you and your decisions. You have great command and no excess chatter on the radio. What you say gets done!
Good job David.
Another good video. Thank you
Chief I have watched a number of your videos. I'd be proud if you were my fire chief!
Thanks. I was just telling someone that posting these videos is a lot like a love hate relationship.
I second this. IF I were on a dept, I'd want it to be his.
Good work!
I would encourage anyone who cares to criticize this department to work hard and become the chief. At that point you can call whatever you like but until you earn that title, negative comments are not yours to make. I can tell you if I have a fire I would want this crew to show up.
The rule you just made that only a fire chief can make negative comments is quite arbitrary. 😋
Good job chief
as always strong work my brothers! stay safe
My fire family I like what you do 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🔥🇺🇸🚨
Awesome to see a working fire through the eyes of a BC
Your videos are great chief. Screw the critics
I'm sure if he did "screw the critics" they would just complain the whole time!
Great video chief! I was quite concerned to see you go in without any turnouts or helmet. Glad you're okay. Take care.
Way to get that knocked down and under control so quickly after arrival. Well done to everyone on the crew.
Great video as per usual. Get a bigger battery!! LOL
Vary good video
Excellent work and quick response and knockdown ! Other departments could learn quite a lot from your videos . new subscriber
Can you do a walk around of Battalion 1?
Miss your videos
Oh good, a new video! They make me feel like I'm relaxing on a beach sipping on Corona's vs. attending a noisy disorganized circus.
Chief, I’m a tow truck driver and witnessed a severe accident tonight. Having some first aid training I did what I could to assist the 1 person entrapped and injured. My questions for you is, is there anything specific you’d recommend to me as a first responder with no more than minor first aid training, to do in a situation like that before fire and EMS arrives? My next question is, all of the videos I’ve seen of yours so far have been of just fires, have you considered posting accident videos or are privacy problems with victims reason that you don’t post those?
Those are good questions. In regards to the auto accident that you assisted on, there are three things that are very important (and you might already be aware). 1- Call 911 and give accurate information. This requires you to stop and survey the scene. Too frequently we get called to auto accidents where the caller didn't stop (passerby) to collect important information. It important to know how many vehicles, how many people are injured, is there an entrapment, anything on fire. The dispatcher has a list of important questions that will help us get the right equipment on the road, but frequently they can't ask those questions because the caller didn't take the time to stop. 2- Try to make the scene safe. For instance if the crash is right in the middle of a curve, sending a person 300 yards around the curve to act as a flagger to warn approaching traffic to slow down could avoid a secondary collision. Or if the crash is on the freeway, it's important to give some advance warning to oncoming motorist so a semi-truck doesn't plow through the scene and further injure people. 3- Do no harm. 99 times out of 100 leaving the patient in the car is usually the best option.
As far as videos at auto accidents, by the time I deleted all of the parts that contain sensitive or privacy issues there just wouldn't be a whole bunch to see, and would require a lot more work on my part.
Josh I would recommend you look for a Stop the Bleed course that is being given near you. They are very informative and are for the public. The lessons they give you on bleeding control are excellent.
I've seen two traffic accidents with serious injury, the first thing I did was to turn off the ignition switch. That kills power to the fuel pump and most of the electronics. In both cases other people were already on the phone calling 911. I am not a FF or VFF, just a ordinary citizen.
Robert DiRosario3. I live in Ottawa, Canada. I hope you have better 911 operators than we have. Recently, I had to call 911 because I experienced a home invasion. The operator in question was an immigrant who didn't speak English very well. He didn't understand what a home invasion was. I had to explain it to him and then tell him to get the police here ASAP. Meanwhile, three punk kids are pounding on my door, and 15 more are downstairs in the lobby trying to get into the building. The whole situation was a schlmozzel. I am OK; however, we need better 911 service than that. Needless to say, my city councillor got an earful about this.
David Decker I appreciate the response Chief! All the things I told the 911 dispatcher were spot on with what you said, so no problems there! I did have something happen while on 911 that I found to be new to the process. After the dispatcher was done with me, she transferred me to an EMT who gave me suggestions as well as asked some questions. He was also very adamant about leaving the entrapped person in the vehicle unless it caught fire.
As far as making the scene safe, I was driving a big flatbed tow truck. I was the first on scene and blocked the road (2 lanes and the middle turning lane). With the equipment I had, I did what I could to secure the scene considering there were vehicle parts all over the road and power lines down. This also happened on a city road at about 11pm. So traffic wasn’t too much of a factor.
Do you know if this business was able to recover from the fire and stay in business? The look of worry on the employees made me think of that. Nice job on this fire
What type of radio system does your department use? Sounds like either digital or P25
Ladder 3 way to go kicking this fires butt!
Good job to all. What was burning? Do you all have integrated mics or amplifiers in your SCBA masks?
Just curious what was the reason to put the platform in operation when it appeared the first engine crew did a great job on knocking down the fire and getting a quick under control? Love your videos its been to long.
Also any chance on seeing videos of accidents at all? Obviously censoring the people's faces in the video and not showing d.o.a.'s just would like to see additional videos not just fires. Even a station tour video would be cool. Thanks
That is a great question. Putting Tower-1 up was actually two-fold. First thing I wanted them to do was give me a good look at the roof with a thermal imaging camera. The attic space of this building is huge and has no fire walls. If fire was extending into the attic I wanted to know sooner not later. I used this technique on the Granville Milling fire. It was a very smokey fire, and the interior crews were having trouble finding the seat of the fire. The ladder crew was able to quickly identify the location of the fire. The link for that video is here ua-cam.com/video/fco4PSPqxmc/v-deo.html Go to the 12:34 mark.
Secondly, getting that platform up was my back-up plan if they couldn't contain the fire with handlines. The platform has 2 masterstream nozzles that the crew could either flow through the overhead garage door, or they could shoot upwards into the soffit to knockdown fire extending into the attic.
@@commandvisionfire Thank you Chief
Wish their was interior footage. Thanks
There actually wasn't much to see. The fire area was contained to a small area. Had the motorhome caught on fire we would have been busy.
@@commandvisionfire I'll bet! What actually was ablaze?
@@MsFiregal8 A pile of carpet samples and a small amount of construction debris (lumber, adhesive).
You'd think if it was a pulled alarm the staff'd have moved the vehicles outta common sense
I believe a lot of comments could be avoided with some more information about what actually went on. Looking at the footage I also was a bit astonished to see you go in the building on your own without any PPE. Having said, my first action upon arrival would probably have been to put on my PPE (without SCBA of course) before going to the building. We fairly quickly get comments form the firefighters if we are not properly dressed on the fireground. Before seeing the rest of the footage however I came to the conclusion that you allreaddy had exited the building on the other side.
I noticed that about the time you arrived and entered the building, and before the apparatus arrived, the smoke got lighter. Do you know the reason for it? Were the employees attempting to fight the fire? Once again I have to compliment you and your personnel. A problem I used to have when I was a commander was excessive chatter on the radios. It seemed that anyone with a radio felt they were required to talk on it. Sometimes it made getting important messages through difficult. This was not all the time but it seemed the worse the fire, the more the chatter. You don't appear to have that problem.
alaninnh Yeah, I noticed the radio discipline too. It is very good and sets a great example. As a Chief, I used to study OSHA’s firefighter fatality and injury investigations, and poor communication was one of the three common factors that kept cropping up as contributing factors. (The other two were: lack of information (a complete 360) and; loss of accountability.)
What was the cause of the fire?
Cheif is it possible to get you to come speak at our little volunteer fire station sometime
1 in 100 alarms that is actually a real fire. I'm sure that got your heart racing when you saw there was actual smoke showing. :)
As an ex-fire fighter from Australia I have two questions. 1. Do your trucks have hose reels? The vids I've watched you seem to always use a hose line. 2. Could you do a video showing the layout and capabilities of your trucks?
None of our trucks have reels. And yes, I will try to get a video out that shows our equipment.
The answer about trucks would vary based on the department in the USA. In the suburban Chicago area that I served, I don't recall any of the departments having trucks (aka ladders), towers, or snorkels configured with any hoses reels, nor did they carry any water. They were fit for arial purpose, and some might carry apartment (aka high rise) hose packs. I frequently see UA-cam comments about why a truck is frequently dispatched to an auto accident. The reason is that in many departments, the trucks carry additional extrication equipment. If the dispatch is an auto accident with entrapment, it is quite common to see a truck dispatched, in addition to an engine, etc. In the USA, some departments have an apparatus called a quint, which is combo of a truck or tower and an engine (i.e. it will carry water and hose). Hope this helps!
Timothy J. Barron: how many floors up can an apartment hose pack reach?
@@adelefarough5123 In my time of service and department, an apartment pack referred to the pre-packed hose carried up to any floor for connection to a standpipe of a given floor. The bigger cities would call them high-rise packs.
@@adelefarough5123 Depending on the department, most hose packs are 100 or 150 feet. Most SOPs recommend that you hook the floor below and advance up to the fire floor giving you approximately 75 or 125 feet of working line.
Pile of carpet and construction debris, maybe spontaneous if there were oils/stains in that mixture. Orrrrr someone was not careful with their cigarette butt.
Good job chief you were on it fast. What was burning in the building?
It was a pile of carpet samples and a little bit of construction debris. I'm not sure if someone was remodeling the inside of the motorhome or exactly how the carpet samples ended up on fire.
Question: what is American Crane?
www.americancrane.com/
Still waiting for you to do something dumb so I can complain about it.... ;^)
Smoke detectors save lives
Do you carry PPE in your Chief’s car? With all due respect, If so, you just unnecessarily created another potential victim. That being said, I wasn’t there so I’m only looking on a dash cam. Stay safe🙏
What you need to remember is I was the one evaluating the interior conditions. I'm pretty dialed in on risk & risk analysis.
Maybe risk analysis for your Firefighters but clearly not for yourself. Chief, entering the building is a really hard argument in this video.. no 2 in 2 out. You entered the building and said “multiple people trapped”. Did you rescue them? That would be the only possible justification for entering solo without PPE and that’s a stretch. You called the first Truck Co. to check the integrity of the roof yet you didn’t even think to throw a helmet on in case of falling debris/structural collapse? Your company officer came out and told you the fuel was carpet samples. Most carpet is made of nylon I think. Did you monitor the atmosphere for IDLH, including HCN prior to entry? I hope your ALS units carry Cyanokits? One last concern... You reported you had PAR. How did you know you had PAR? There was never a company by company PAR on the radio and you were in your car.
I’m not trying to be a jerk at all but if you’re going to put this stuff out there for everyone, including impressionable probie Firefighters then you need to take a serious look at whether you really did do a good tactical risk-benefit analysis. Maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to do a little after action analysis of your vids to teach the newer guys what worked well and what needs to be changed.
Just my two cents but please be safe out there.
This is a great report about the Providence Fire Cyanide incident. It goes to show that you can never truly assess risk by pulling up on a scene. When you read in a bit, one of the poignant ironies is that one of the most critically ill members of the incident was a pump operator. I guess you never know?
www.effua.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Report-of-the-Investigation-Committee-into-the-Cyanide-Poisonings-of-Providence-Firefighters.pdf
Great example and work of being a computer chair firefighter!
Hunter Hawk no computer chair but yes a firefighter who has made many mistakes and bad tactical decisions during my career but always make a point of learning from them and welcoming any input. If I had a helmet cam, I’d post all my screw ups as a “what not to do”. Like in any firehouse, if you’re going to post on here for Firefighters to see them you have to expect some brutal honesty, nothing personal.
Fires happen everywhere, even fire stations. Shit
Just happens. Anybody thinks this is funny because this a fire station, you’re just an absolute idiot. As you can see immediately the battalion chief called it out over the radio. he went into the building without his bunker gear and checked on the status of a fire or people inside the building. He then came back out and started to tell where the trucks need to go. Hopefully there wasn’t a lot lost at the station because it’s these guys’s tools that keep them alive when they’re out saving people. Looks like they were able to see the building and much of the other apparatus because I’m sure one of you don’t know how much it cost to buy a fire truck or a ladder truck or a squints or a ambulance etc. I’ll give you a hint it’s a lot of damn money. My hat is off to you Battalion chief, number one reason you posted this video, when many others would not post it. It shows what kind of person you are and you’re a person I would like to meet someday and hopefully have a drink and be friends with, you’re not a narcissist. I was a police officer in Stafford Police Department in Texas and there was a shooting right down the street from our station and everybody criticized us because we weren’t there within one minute, it’s because were out on calls if we were there within one minute then we wouldn’t be doing our job very well. However Stafford fire department which is right next-door to the police station was there within a minute or two and they completely understood why we weren’t there, and I completely understand why they weren’t there for this either.
first guy on the seen should wear a mask
