Got to say, this fire crew has got to be with out a doubt the fastest best trained I’ve seen, after watching literally hundreds of these UA-cam flicks, this video needs to go to all departments for training. gr8 job!!!!
David Glaum...that should be the standard for all departments. In a straightforward job like this one, 60 seconds from ‘wheels stop’ to water on the fire, or at least, attack line charged and ready to make entry.
Dan Nash I agree but as you probably know a lot of factors go into the the first attack. This fire department is well trained for sure. Don’t know the location of the fire.
perfect response! the absolute perfect apparatus line up. and amazingly trained ff's working like a well oiled machine! cant say this about alot of these videos!
Can you ask the fire trucks not to park in the way of the video! Also, this was total overkill. 8 massive trucks including a huge ladder for a tiny one storey blaze. It must have been a slack day at the station!
SteamLocoScrapper Blow it out your A$$!!! These guys are here to do their job.....not to make videos!!! I have also “uttered, damn it! You just blocked my view!!!” BUT, as I understand it....1) Preserve life FIRST! 2) Structure second. PERIOD! Videos are nice. Definitely interesting.....and these guys can teach a lot.....but if it was YOUR house....would you prefer them to put out the fire & protect your home/garage/car.... or have them stay out of the way & let your belongings burn to the ground so someone can get a video? Something to think about. Dear Higher Power.....please protect ALL first responders - you know the devils they face.
Inside 3 minutes of arriving on scene, water was on the fire, the garage door was being cut, water supply was established and a vent crew was on the roof. The fire appeared to be knocked down before the BC was on scene. A well prepared and disciplined fire company. Good work all, your community should be very thankful to have you serving them.
NorCal FirePhotography27 nice catch. These guy were good unlike NY firefighters where they seem to be there just for the show. I know all these firefighter put their lives on the line and the appreciation is there but it’s good to see them get the hustle on.
Water flowing within 1 minute 20 seconds of arrival of the first engine. Textbook!!! Great work. Great driving by the way. Hauling ass right up to the front door. FF's off the rig and working. Why can't other depts caught on UA-cam get it right?
Johnny Toronto...agreed. For a properly trained and drilled professional fire department, what can be so difficult about stretching a preconnect, advancing it into position, and engaging the pump and charging the line?
All engines coming in hot !!!! Sacramento Metro fire is one of the best in the country !!!! Highly trained, highly motivated, highly organized, totally professional these guys simple kick ass !!! Great job guys !!!! 💯🇺🇸🦅🗽🔥👍
Regarding the several comments about the large number of companies responding, it seems to me that it is better to send potentially more than you need and then cancel them if they are not needed than to not send enough and wait ten minutes or more for the additional help after you request it. Many years ago, I worked for a department that had a standard residential structure response consisting of just two four-man engines and a battalion chief. The crews were very professional, but if it was a working fire, we invariably needed to call for a second alarm to get more people to the scene. Incidentally, that department was one of those that eventually merged into what is now known as Sacramento Metro Fire.
I served in a department not too far from Sacramento...we regularly have near 110 degree days in the summer in the Central Valley. Because of heat exhaustion/stroke risk, you have to rotate out crews pretty quickly. Not to mention the risk posed by dry vegetation.
@@robertross7666 For what its worth, their standard response for a residential structure fire is 4 engines, 2 trucks, 1 medic unit, and 2 battalion chiefs. In this case, the rescue was functioning as the second truck company. Metro Fire's Rescue 21 and Hazmat 109 carry the tools and ground ladders of a truck company, in addition to their specialized equipment.
@@Bones_Jr. thanks for clarifying that for me. For departments unable to staff specialized units full time, the system you described sounds so much more efficient than those units being cross staffed with an engine or truck company, and having to drive back to the station to pick up a different apparatus, if they were already out.
@@robertross7666 You're welcome. Also, I forgot to mention that they run three-person engine companies which, to me at least, makes that initial hose pull and fire attack even more impressive. They run four-person truck companies (which includes the rescue and hazmat companies).
Most excellent! This team should be commended. They got the fire out before it became a defensive evolution AND... they saved her car! This command has obviously made be Training a priority. Looked outstanding, from individual efforts, to ensuring any equipment and apparatus that may be needed was available.
Hauling A** .... Damn guys and gals that seriously is the most lit response I have ever seen. And every apparatus smooth in and position... Like butter holy crap. Vent holes and everything within 200 seconds of first unit.
Keep moving folks. Nothing to see but, a group of men and women firefighters that know their job!!!!!! Ladies and gentlemen y’all did a phenomenal job and this is probably nothing different from every incident. A REAL FIRST CLASS DEPARTMENT.
Live near the fire station where the Tiller truck 26 is those guys are gassed up and ready to roll thank u station 26 and the whole fire dept for all that u do
Three engines, two trucks, a medic and two battalion chiefs; seems like a reasonable level of response for a structure fire. Also, if the first-due officer had determined they all were not necessary he would have cancelled them and they would have been available for the next one (which is the case more often than not).
I'm not armchair QB'ing, that's #1. I'm from clear across the country in NY state. Instead of hand jacking the supply line, why doesn't the 2nd due reverse lay to the hydrant? They did a hell of a job! Just looking to broaden my knowledge. Hell it may be a tool I use in the east!
Jason VanDewater...I’m not armchair QBing either...maybe the 1st due engine could have stretched in from the hydrant...obviously they had a working fire, smoke showing from side A...and had a supply line in place, then the 2nd engine could take the hydrant and pump into the line that was already laid? What do you think of that?
For Metro first in Capt finds hydrant and decides who will catch it. If it’s close like this one was, Capt announces in size up that 1st engine either has own water supply or passes to 2nd engine. Engineer then makes pull to hydrant after supplying first attack line
I live in the area and I will say the difference between our fire departments and that of Sacramento is that we hustle,you dont see fire fighters lollygagging around they get things done, they are aware time is a friend and an enemy. Sorry New York and other areas I see so many videos of you guys just walking around like you would rather be watching tv in the firehouse or talking to the girls about how bad ass it is to be a firefighter ( should tell them how much you dont want to be). Get a clue from our guys.
Hey bro where you going with that camera @2:40 ? No time for rig buffing we got a job !!! And way to leave room for the truck engine donkeys your 95% ahead of every other dept. in all serious nice work by the lads...ps ALWAYS CANCEL THE CHIEF !!!
NorCal FirePhotography27 Well if your going to catch the truck company coming in. All is forgiven . I completely understand. I myself chauffeur one of those buggers. I’ve been told when the TDA comes bombing down the block. It’s like Moses parting the sea. Especially with the brakes smoking....lol. Good video my friend ...enjoyed the footage and look forward to seeing more action from you !!!!
@@SuperBosshead think he might be referring to the ambulances. Where he is from they might call them Rescue squads. Here in Las Vegas fire department ambulances are referred to as Rescues. That Rescue 21 would be called Heavy Rescue 21 here.
Its a detached bungalow as we would call it here in the UK. 3 fire appliances max would deal with it here. How the heck does this structure fire require this weight of response??
@@darranharrety82 here that is the standard response for the county also it was 100+ out that day so they bring more crews in so they can rotate and rehab them quicker
@@SuperBosshead That standard of a response is a luxury. Way over the top but good for them. Weather conditions mean nothing to Senior Management here in the UK. Couldn't care less but to be fair resources across the UK cut to the bone.
@@darranharrety82 Metro Fire is the 9th largest department in the state so they are able to run that many units on a cal. if not they have auto aid departments with in the county.
As mentioned in other comments, this could be used as a training film. Great engine placement, with a hydrant right in front of it (3:50). Great truck company placement, practically in front of the fire (the ground ladders were perfectly adequate for this one-story structure). Four engines, a truck, and a medic unit on scene within minutes of each other. Water on the fire before the second-arriving engine's siren had completely stopped. Everyone showing hustle and working with a purpose. Regarding primary search, it is hard to make a definitive judgment when the camera was not always pointed at the front of the house.

Also Newark Ohio, David Decker Channel.

This is the definition of “Coordinated Attack”! Vents all right on time with water on fire. Superb!
It was just about 62 seconds after they stopped and they had water on the fire. Great job firefighters..👍👍👍👍👍👍

Excellent response, no messing about, straight in and attack the fire. Brilliant job. Very impressive.
That's how its done! This should be a training video. Great video work.
I like how those trucks came in hot.
Agreed!! I am not an advocate for fast driving at all but this seemed balanced - safety and speed!
Those guys hauled buns to the scene and got water on the fire faster than anybody I have ever seen. Great job firefighters!
Great job on the video and bring back some good memories of my days when I was a volunteer fireman.
Great team work ! Good job Team !!
I watch a lot of these videos quickest most efficient firefighters I ve seen. Great work
3:10 that Cummins turbo tho 😍😍
This video humbled me. Great job, everyone moving with a purpose, no yelling, just work. Bravo.
Fantastic footage man!!!! Keep it coming!! 😁
At 3:10 I love that tiller fire truck
Great job guys! Thznks.

absolute professional work from the firefighters......

I have never ever seen a better response on UA-cam from a US fire department than this.

Best attack I’ve seen. Well done Metro Fire
Wow!! Impressive!! The siren had not completely stopped and the water was already flowing. Kudos to the fire dept,,
3 min in the video they got a line charged and spraying water and ventilation is in progress. Outstanding!!
GO GET IT!!

These guys don’t mess around, it’s nice to see some urgency.
Awesome Coverage! I See R21 Was The Reserve Where was the New Rescue?
Emergency Today I am not sure I also don’t know if they are back in their front line right now
Yep great effort. Only criticism it seemed like overkill all those trucks.

Wow awesome response and knock down! This is how it should be done 100% of the time!
STAND STILL!!!!!!!!
Now this is how it should be and trained as well.
Show up and stretch line.
Charge line and attack, while others looking for water supply.
Super job 💪

Going back and forth with the camera made me dizzy. But thanks for the video anyway.
Damn they rolled everybody in,you’d think it was a skyscraper.

Four engine companies and not a single one tagged a hydrant.
There was one immediately in front of the first-arriving engine. There is a shot of them hooking it after they pulled the tank line.
