Nice exposure protection. Seen so many videos where a second house catches fire because of no protection. Don't understand why the FF on the exposure line never thought about opening the gate.
Adrenaline induced tunnel vision. Probably a rookie. He just got a lesson from the other guy though. Sometimes it's ok to bust some stuff up to get to the problem. He'll be better next time and better still after subsequent events. After 25 years I still learn something every call.
The pipeman on the right is a good example on why more FDs need to bite the bullet and start replacing combination nozzles with an HVLP fitted with a stream shaper. A 2.5 cross lay is a bitch to use by hand even with 2-3 people on it. I started my firefighting career back in the 80's and about 10 years in discovered more modern pipes, they are just about magical as to how effective they are yet still easy to manage. It took some doing and nearly a half-million but I was able to get our entire FD converted. One man can easily flow 250gpm at 50psi out of a 2.5 with a fraction of the effort and still reach 100ft.
3:04 the cop tells the guy manning his garden hose to stop and step aside. I’d tell him “Nah it’s chill I’m gunna keep spraying”. Every bit of water on his house helps prevent it catching on fire too.
It's always a good sign that the FD could use a little training when the first line to get water and the nozzleman doesn't know how to control the line, so two civilians had to help him get the line under control.
Is there a really good reason WHY this ends halfway through? Either watch this on mute, or start a drinking game on how many times that annoying woman uselessly utters "oh my god"
LoSTheSpirit. It’s really not surprising at all tbh! Unless you live a full on concrete structure with no carpets, sofas, beds, rugs, clothes etc in it. Everything in the average home will go up in seconds.
Look this neighbour, who tries to battle against blaze with the garden hose. Tough man! But unfourtunately no effort. See the teenytiny jet! See the vainness. Hope this pictures stop mean comments.
I love watching videos like this it reminds me of my uncle who use to be a capt but now just does maintenance an my cousin he works a fire station here in my state
I did not know that that was their second fire. I remember that the local news here in San Diego said that a plumber's torch started the fire in the garage wall. Luckily no one was hurt. The remains of the house were demolished, and a beautiful new house was rebuilt on the lot.
VideoFanatic02...must have been a do it yourself plumber. Any professional plumber would surely know how to use a torch safely without starting a fire. It’s not rocket science that if you’re working with an open flame with combustibles nearby, you need to take certain safety precautions.
There are many factors. The fire was self ventilated and there was no way to put it out right away. All you can do is let that shit burn and prevent it from spreading to the other house.
Always? SMH. America is a massive country with lots of rural areas. A lot of the time the responses are from volunteer departments with a long response. Volunteers are necessary but they typically don't have a lot of cohesion as a regular crew or significant training. I'm sure I will catch grief for that but it's true. There are countless videos from U.S. departments making prompt aggressive and competent responses.
mano mano I’m from Australia do you not realise Australia is larger than the U.S. and also parts of Canada. We have a pretty good idea how to fight fires. And most are vols.
Exactly! Knock the garage. Wet the exposure. Not complicated. love the commentary though. "Turn off the gas." Priceless. Smartest comment was the husband who told the wife with all the bright ideas that they would just be in the way if they tried to move their cars. Good call, man. My sympathies. You've got your work cut out for you.
ALWAYS First engine company puts water on the fire. You can cool down that exposure all day long, if nobody attacks the fire it is just going to consume and spread. If that 2.5 went directly to the fire, that exposure would have been a mute issue.
Yeah I don't understand why the exposure was the first thing to get water on it. That fire could've been knocked down with a 2.5 and 1.75 attack line with the 1.75 on the delta side of the garage and 2.5 on the alpha. That fire would've been out before second company even arrived.
41 Mhz, yet I've also witnessed main fires not slowing down in spite of a master stream and a couple of 2.5's on it and nothing being done to cool the exposure. The radiant heat then causes the exposure to reach ignition temperature and the entire side of the building ignites all at once, making it difficult to suppress. It takes very little water to cool an exposure and a long, sustained, high volume application of water to slow down a intensely burning main fire. It has been my experience that you have to do a little exposure cool down while trying to fight the main fire, not all of one or the other.
Doesn't do much good to drag all those hoses around if you can't get the water to them. I don't know what it takes to open a valve but it sure seems to take along time. I'm sure there's a reason but it's got to be frustrating to keep waving for water to be turned on.
Then she tells the home owner to turn the gas off when the meter is on the opposite side of the house from the fire keep watching the movies lady we will fight the fires
Michael Ayares judging by your profile pic you are a fake firefighter. Firefighters dont have beards due to nfpa regulations. unless of course you work in an illegitimate volly house, or are retired in either cases you are not fighting fires
Roy Rod 1st line water curtain protecting the exposure the garage is a goner break the stupid fence and start spraying water on the delta side of the structure involved to protect the Bravo side of the exposure some more. Could have used some webbing to help with the 2 1/2. Water took about 45 seconds maybe there wasn’t a secure water supply near using 2 lines your going to be out in literally minutes but what do I know 🤷🏻♀️
I guess the WATER wasn't turned on or something He stood there with a NON ACTIVE Hose for a long time! OH! They finally got a Second Hose Running after a long time!
Why is the small hose on the inside, where the fire is, and the big hose on the outside? I mean, is it not better to douse the fire at its origin to limit the spread?
Why carry a massive hose interior when your source of fire is the garage? You didn't proof read. Also the U.S has some of the leading strategies in firefighting.
Love the guy with the garden hose spraying his house right next to two firefighters also spraying his house with like 100x the volume of his little garden hose :P
I know that with government employees there is the union thing goin on, but until that ladder truck came on scene, why didnt the three uniformed guys at the curb (EMTs or PD?) lend a hand where/when they could?
So many fires that start in a house are small then they get bigger and bigger, and there's a bunch of people all around. I don't get it, it seems that they can get a hose with a nozel and put it out it's not that hard to do
By law, I think that every single home should be equipped with a proper fire hose, and the owners should attend training in fire fighting. That would save so many lives and properties. When you rely solely on the fire fighters, by the time they arrive and get ready, your whole home will be in ashes.
Or people could stop building their houses out of match sticks covered by flammable plastic covered by flammable bitumen shingles, and switch to masonry like the rest of the world.
Garage fires 101. Line #1 should be a smoothbore 2.5” line. Direct attack into the garage to knockdown the main body of the fire. Line 2 should be a 1.75” line thru the front door into the involved structure. The #1 exposure is the rest of the house.
Fire Any solid or straight stream at close range is useless in Quickly stopping the threat which is the flames. You need to cover as much area with water as possible while still overpowering the energy of the fire or wind. Everything else you said is fine
As a former one, they were doing good. They didn’t have enough people there at the time and the roof was coming down. Better to lose property than have to tell a firefighters wife or husband that they died.
Ugh... I understand the panic and worry but it really irks me when people yell at firefighters to "put water on it!" and "put the fire out!" Like... NO SHIT! What do you think they're doing? Riding a ferris wheel?
I see it over and over again the fire dept pulls a 2-1/2 or 3" hand line and can not control it with one person or even two or three. Pull several 1-3/4 which one man each can handle. In this case if the 3" had gone to the front of the garage and the 1-3/4 to the side it would have had much better initial results.
Were these volunteer firemen? Because it sure seemed like they were confused about what to do a lot of things. I say volunteer because they usually don't have very many fires to work.
Some of the busiest firehouses in the country run as volunteers, 80% of the countries firefighters are volunteers, I've seen permenant departments look like keystone cops and volunteers look like FDNY.......and the other way around. Your statement has no validity.
I have seen too many throwing a straight stream to on a fire. You all need to go back to school. You put a fire out by cutting off oxygen and cooling the heat. A fog stream makes it easier to control heat exposures and create steam which cuts off oxygen to the fire.
Why does it take your Fire fighters so long to start fighting the fire? Here in the UK, they're on it as soon as the Appliance stops.Within 1min Water is being trained onto the Flames.
Can anybody explain this to me? Why do you have in america such ridicoules firehoses. The pressure on is is way to high. It is imossible for 1 man to control the hose. That firefighter is doing nothing with his hose because it is totally uncontrolable. Also he is doing damage to the roof with this ridiculous pressure on that hose. If the hose has got lower pressure he could have done more and quicker. How many bars are on the hose. We use about 7-8 bar. In that way 1 man can control it.
thank god for the kinda male, but a bit femalish sounding citizen fire chief with the camera person. without her/it yelling things, then this fire would had never been extinguished. ps- I think the fire dept can handle the wrench and gas line thingy.
He can't even control the thing, Dammit, just put it in a loop at the end of the driveway and you couldv'e knocked the dogsnot out of it without breaking a sweat.

What frustrated me open the dam fence up.
I didn't see a *dam* fence but *damn* , that would really have helped :D
It might function as heat schielding.
Nice exposure protection. Seen so many videos where a second house catches fire because of no protection. Don't understand why the FF on the exposure line never thought about opening the gate.

Probably a rookie.

He'll be better next time and better still after subsequent events.
After 25 years I still learn something every call.
damn these houses go up soo fast!! and so many times you see the next house going on fire too heck I would invest in a sprinkler system
2nd fire they have had? Sounds like an insurance scam to me
Saved the house and an exposure. Great job!
Saved The House? I don't think so!
Unfortunately the house had to be demolished. But they rebuilt a beautiful home in it's place.
VideoFanatic02...I’m guessing, after 2 fires, the second one a total loss, their insurance premium went through the roof faster than the fire did.
The pipeman on the right is a good example on why more FDs need to bite the bullet and start replacing combination nozzles with an HVLP fitted with a stream shaper. A 2.5 cross lay is a bitch to use by hand even with 2-3 people on it.

What is with the guy on the hose? That guy scares me more than the fire
Good video... hats off to the fire fighters.
3:04 the cop tells the guy manning his garden hose to stop and step aside. I’d tell him “Nah it’s chill I’m gunna keep spraying”. Every bit of water on his house helps prevent it catching on fire too.
what a place to live. i love hot weather. hate this cloudy minus 40
That 21/2 is way to much for them to handle.
It's always a good sign that the FD could use a little training when the first line to get water and the nozzleman doesn't know how to control the line, so two civilians had to help him get the line under control.
Looked like a 21/2 line That takes 2-3 people to control
Is there a really good reason WHY this ends halfway through? Either watch this on mute, or start a drinking game on how many times that annoying woman uselessly utters "oh my god"
I also don't understand why the second hand line in front of the garage wasn't hitting the garage
It's crazy how fast these houses can go up in flames, Just amazes me.
LoSTheSpirit. It’s really not surprising at all tbh! Unless you live a full on concrete structure with no carpets, sofas, beds, rugs, clothes etc in it. Everything in the average home will go up in seconds.
The homeowner with the garden hose is more effective than the fireman ! Wtf

Oh my God, not the Brady's house!!
Thankfully, no :)
Just be thankful there alive.houses can be rebuilt.
Why do American fireman always struggle with getting the wet stuff on the hot stuff.
There are many factors. The fire was self ventilated and there was no way to put it out right away. All you can do is let that shit burn and prevent it from spreading to the other house.

@2013mdv Try thinking before you comment. Wet down the exposure and Eliminate the Threat!
Superman is there. What up clark
FF on the left side of the house is fucking cracking me
Oh that's buff right out.
Its frustrating to see all the firemen standing around and only 1 hose on the fire. 1 fireman stands waiving his hand to give him some water
Doesn't do much good to drag all those hoses around if you can't get the water to them. I don't know what it takes to open a valve but it sure seems to take along time. I'm sure there's a reason but it's got to be frustrating to keep waving for water to be turned on.
Finally, a neighbor with a garden hose trying to put out a house fire.
Second fire? What were they doing in the garage? Meth lab.
"White smoke is good". Really genius
White smoke is steam which means water on fire. So yah it is actually good
If I were paying taxes for this, I would move the hell out of town.
What city was this in? I can't tell but it sure looks like southern California
San Diego, in the neighborhood where I grew up.
@Ryan H. Turner...after about 2 minutes of watching this and listening to Mrs. Greg, I realized this has Southern California written all over it.
Then she tells the home owner to turn the gas off when the meter is on the opposite side of the house from the fire keep watching the movies lady we will fight the fires
Michael Ayares judging by your profile pic you are a fake firefighter. Firefighters dont have beards due to nfpa regulations. unless of course you work in an illegitimate volly house, or are retired in either cases you are not fighting fires

Didn't break the windows but they did tear some shingles off :)
"Fire is no joke home owners that suffer sometimes have to deal with the neighbors damage costly embarrassing!"
Big Fire, needs some bigger water folks
At least they are attacking the fire correctly. Saving the house next door.
I guess the WATER wasn't turned on or something He stood there with a NON ACTIVE Hose for a long time! OH! They finally got a Second Hose Running after a long time!
what you guys couldn't see was that the fire had already spread to the home on the right- they did just fine.
I've seen more than several house fires where the fire has started in the garage. People should keep their flammables locked in fire proof cabinets.
Why is the small hose on the inside, where the fire is, and the big hose on the outside? I mean, is it not better to douse the fire at its origin to limit the spread?
American firefighting...
Why carry a massive hose interior when your source of fire is the garage? You didn't proof read. Also the U.S has some of the leading strategies in firefighting.
Greg S. Yet they got it wrong, here. The big line should have been directed at the main body of fire, and the 1 3/4” directed on the exposure.
It's 12-14-21 and greg runs back out of the house and says "he can't find the wrench anywhere !!! " ( in a panic voice )
I think that the fire fighters know how to do their job without this lady telling them what to do!!👿👌
Love the guy with the garden hose spraying his house right next to two firefighters also spraying his house with like 100x the volume of his little garden hose :P
It was probably HIS House Next Door! What the HELL do you expect him to do. ASSHOLE!

Why is it that at every fire, there is always a guy wearing nothing but shorts?
Because this is America.
And hes always the one with the garden hose lol
I was saying knock down that fucking fence before that 1st FF ever had water.
The firefighter on the exposure line on the #4 side needed to close the nozzle a little bit to enable him to control the line.
I know that with government employees there is the union thing goin on, but until that ladder truck came on scene, why didnt the three uniformed guys at the curb (EMTs or PD?) lend a hand where/when they could?

I am so terrified of fire
marco B. Good to know.... however I think it’s a pretty standard thing for most people to be afraid of fire.
Why didn't they set up the ladder truck. Was a fireman 4 eight years would have helped!
