Newark Ohio Fire Department working house fire 232 S Williams incident command with audio

- Newark Fire Department responded to a report of a house fire at 232 S. Williams Street on 12-8-2017. One adult and three children self evacuated prior to arrival. Newark units responded with two engines, 2 ladders, 2 medics and 2 chief officers. The working fire assignment brought two additional engines.
Upon arrival crews found fire throughout the front the structure. Upon initiating attack the front porch roof collapsed blocking the front door. As crews moved to the rear of the structure to make entry, much of the back of the house flashed over.
While this fire was in progress a second structure fire was dispatched for an apartment on fire at 340 Eastern Avenue, a senior high-rise. That fire was contained to the apartment of origin.
I have additional videos on my other UA-cam channel at / traumawave

I will say I have watched MANY of Chief Decker's videos and he and his crew are really a fantastic team!
I've watched a bunch of fire videos the last six months or so. The Newark men and women are well-directed and well trained; these folks hit the ground with assignments made and start working - swiftly and effectively. Great chief. Totally impressed and proud of these public service PROFESSIONALS.
Thanks. I work with a great team who take the job serious, and train every day.
It always broke my heart to see the peoples of faces that just lost there home as we where wrapping up.
I just want to say that that was an excellent response thank you to all the firefighters who put your lives on the line every day.
Total respect for your fire dept. Hope the kids aren't to traumatised by this house fire. Love&Luck from Liverpool UK.
I hope they aren’t, either. I will say this, I’m 52, and when I was 5, watched a house a block away actually blow-up several times. The owners had left a gas can right next to a gas water heater….not a smart thing to do. The positive is it’s given me a healthy respect for fire. Maybe that will be the take-away for these children.
Some may say, "well it wasn't much of a house anyway" but to the owerns, it was home. I sure hope they had insurance because it is a total loss.
It needed a new roof and siding, but could be a decent home. I live alone and think that size is perfect.
Yeah I feel really bad because in those areas many can't afford to get what they lost back.
It's a house on fire. That's all that matters and all that SHOULD matter to the firefighters. The REAL good news was that the occupants evacuated. Buildings can be replaced - even in poor areas. People cannot. And they did a very good job of knocking the fire down quickly and saving part of the building.
@@ArchTeryx00 It's more than a physical loss to most home owners and something that transcends the thinking of anybody not in their position. That house, in their eyes - even if rebuilt, isn't the same. Maybe the house, the way it was, holds memories of getting married, having children, sitting on the porch and hanging out with neighbors. Some of those can never be remembered the same because the remodeled house no longer carries the memories or histories of the one that burnt down.
To the people that live(d) there, it's much more than a mechanical answer like "all that matters is that it's a house fire". These people who lived here lost more than anything the best firefighter can put out.
T'was a nice looking house, with out any fire. Not big, but would make a nice little cozy cabin. Wonder how it catched
I have opted to allow commenting so that people can ask questions or make comments/observations. Please keep it respectful. Most of us are here trying to learn. If you are disrespectful I will block you.
Amen sir. Looks like they did a great job once water pressure was achieved. Ive seen comments from nit wits ranting about the FD just watching a structure burn while they have dragged out a mile of heavy hoses and set up and are simply waiting for water. Ugh. Not a job I could do and I consider FD to be heroes one and all. TY for your service.
Well finally nice to see a channel that'll tone down the damn hose jockeys that shoot the general public down for what they feel are stupid observations or questions. I said on many other channels to a firefighter that it would really help to cut the nasty comments and teach instead. Politely explain what's going on and why things are done in certain ways that look like to many us are fireman being lazy on the job.
David Decker stay safe out there
Beast Mode Thanks, you too.
David Decker are you a Firefighter or a Amateur?
Thank you for your services firefighters. You save multiple lives every day, all while risking your lives.
I never tire of watching this crew at work. I consider it the best, and I watch fire videos from all over the US and Canada. The best Chief too.
I have been watching Chief Decker's videos over and over. I am fascinated on the format that he does these videos. I think it gives us the viewing public a great perspective as to what goes into organization of manpower and utilization of equipment. Fortunately there are not many of these videos to view from Chief Decker. Unfortunately, most agencies do not use this type of format , so you do not get a clear and concise snapshot as to what is going on. The residents of this community should be very grateful to have such a cool, calm and collective professional like this chief serving their community.
Incredible the conditions that you guys have to work in. I've been in construction for decades, but you guys are the tops
This house was fully involved when the engines arrived. It appears to be composed of mostly wood materials, and mostly everything inside can burn. Considering all that, I thought the firefighters knocked it down pretty quickly. Once one hose, and later another, was applied, almost all the main fire was OUT in 1 minute flat. Good work.
Well involved yes, fully involved no.. that term gets misused far too often, there’s a lot of savable real estate left on that house upon arrival
Mike12522 lol savable, thanks for pointing that out
@@davidrossman7925 - Strangely, the Internet definitions of ' fully involved ' and ' well involved ' fires are roughly the same. They are defined roughly as fires large enough that internal access can't be made until fire hoses are applied from outside for a while.
I agree that the entire house wasn't ablaze. So I'm not saying that you're wrong at all. Perhaps it's more a matter of opinion than anything else.
Mike12522 I’d agree with that, it could be simply a difference in geographically based terms as well
@@davidrossman7925 - There is the ' heavily involved fire ' term used as well. So, in hindsight, I probably should have used one of the two lesser terms, rather than: ' fully involved ' .
Great knock down and well established command and great communication. Being calm from all companies are applauded. Fires like this one present many challenges and you all faced it head on. Saving the exposure on B side gets BIG kudos. Well done brothers and sisters!
Chief Decker doesn’t mess around, nor do the crews under his command.
Good job Newark, stay safe out there. Greetings from Texas. 29 years service, retired. (All my respect to the power company guys also. Unsung heroes at every fire.)
Kent Carter Great point, the last thing these guys need is a live panel box when they’er spraying gallons of water into a house they aren’t familiar with.
I was just about to say the same thing
This FD and it's Chief Decker are animals. I've never seen such great coordination. I'm not FD - just another YT guy. GREAT WORK!
*Excellent work colleagues!!!! Greetings from Firefighters in Russia!!!!*
Thank you. Stay safe over there.

I like to watch your videos because your always on top of everything, giving directions & making sure everyone is safe:). Your rare as a Fire Chief:)
Great job. Nice to see fireground video that showcases how to do it right; sadly, there are too many on YT that go the other way. They're also great training tools for everybody (FF and non-FF alike), and I wish more departments would make incident videos widely available. Even when mistakes are made, being able to identify them (without blame) and train for next time is crucial, and good video and audio makes that task much easier.
You run a tight ship in Newark and your men sure look like they know what they're doing :). Concise and clear communications are key, although I'm not personally a fan of APCO-25 digital audio. Thanks again. Be safe!
Great job Chief, about as smooth as any fireground as I have been on. I am always reviewing tactics to find what we can do better and safer. Dep. Chief Keys, Tx
Very impressive "in attendance message " very clear , calm instructions to following appliances from someone who new his job. Well done.
It's like watching a well orchestrated symphony. Truly fascinating to watch how this is done. May GOD bless and keep all firefighters safe!
I hate how it keeps relighting. That must be a pain to deal with
This particular fire had a very heavy fire load that required some extra overhaul. And yep, you are correct, it's a bit of a pain.
yeah got to be real careful sometimes,. had a house fire last year. fire was out or so we thought. all other appliances had left, we were packing the last of the gear on the truck and just out of the A-frame of the house came a thin wisp of smoke. although we had fired water into every corner of that roof for over and hr and a half, still missed a spark. got to be real careful
In the beginning of 2018 it was extremely cold in Florida and I was at my friend's which they had had the fireplace going the whole day. They noticed smoke coming from behind the TV and it turned out around 10 feet of the roof was already on fire. We were lucky to make it out alive because if we didn't see the smoke we would've never made it out. It was one of the scariest moments of my life and I'm lucky to be here to tell the story. Stay safe and keep precautions 💞
better to have it keep lighting up while they are there... instead of lighting up AFTER they leave, when they think it's out... but it ain't
As is balloon construction, agree Capt.Decker ? Last week, we had a structure fire. It was 10:30am. There was a welding crew in the crawl space just prior to the fire starting. When we arrived, we were 1st engine. Chief 2 had beat us to the fire, and reported heavy dark smoke coming out from the driveway side door. Home owner was spraying water into the door with the garden hose. Ya, one of those. Anyways, we stretch the handline, and walk up the driveway. Chief 2 tells my partner and I there is nobody inside, and the fire is in the 3' crawl space (ya, awesome) go in the door, turn right, and go down 3 steps. So, we enter, locate the fire, and extinguish it. All good. Except the fire has extended up into the attic via the balloon construction. No better feeling than to be in a 3' crawl space with fire extension 2 stories above !! Needless to say, we hurried out. All good. Stay low and let it blow !!!!
Nice and calm on the radio and great job passing off the assignments to the incoming crews....Great Job Chief!
Every house is someone’s home, no matter how big or small. No one should say anything disrespectful.
Thank you to all our brave men and women who do this work. It's very fascinating!

Ok
Chief Decker, your crews did an awesome job getting a good knock on this fire. Kudos to your Training Branch.
I love watching this department respond....of all the departments I've watched on videos, they are the most professional and competent. Well trained and disciplined.
Thank you.
Stockton CA has awesome Videos As well .... nowhere near Chief Decker and his hard Core FF’s but very Good Videos nevertheless
Awesome job Chief. All the guys carried out their tasks and very well orchestrated with a quick knockdown. Great job as always. Love watching Newark FD!!! Thank you for your service, stay safe!
Bless you all! My Dad was a BC for Oregon FD,
Thank you for having awesome videos, and Thank you for what you do. You and your Fire Fighters are Americas Heroes
You’re a machine sir. Amazing job as always.
For some reason I've started binging firefighter videos, it's wild some of the stuff you guys have to do. It's got me looking into it as a career, stay safe fellow Ohioan's.
Liar

None of the other fire chiefs that put out videos on here are remotely concerned about the exposures until well into their videos. I love how the exposures are one of the top of your priorities.
I appreciate how calm and clear first on scene was.
Chief, I have lived in Chicago all my life. I have observed the initial arrival of units on a working house fire a few times. (I was Chicago Police for 30 years.) I see the way they take their time and just start ventilating. A small fire in many big cities ends up doing as much damage as this fire. I can see the importance of a fire that is just smoldering, with no flames showing. This is every huge city.
I see smaller towns that know exactly what needs to be done. In 15 minutes you assess the fire and pass it on so every person responding know exactly what needs to be done.Within 3 minutes of the first engine or truck's arrival, at least 3 lines were on the fire. Within 5-7 minutes thet were working the fire from in and out.
Maybe you should be an instructor for large departments. They have 10 times the equipment and don't utilize it. Ten times the manpower and most stand around. I have seen videos, where they had a chief and 1 FF. One drove the engine and one drove the truck. But they set up 2 lines until help arrived. As a youngster I alway thought small towns were all like Mayberry. But poolice anf fire in small towns are the ones that deserve credit for the job the do. You and your men have my utmost respect. Thank you all for the job you do with a handful of men and women. I wish I was 20 years younger, because I'd volunteer in a second. God Bless and stay safe. 15 minutes the fire was knocked down. CFD would take that long to get the first line going.
Where in the hell were you a cop in Chicago watching CFD take 15 minutes to get the first line charged??? I GUARANTEE it wasnt the west side!
@@geckster109 sounds like it was the west side. bro every city has houses that take their sweet time.
Yours is the gold standard for incident command, teamwork, coordination, and rapid professional response. So many other examples lack these elements and could certainly learn from your department's example.
I have to say I haven’t seen firefighter boots like that in a few decades. He must love the old style boots that went to the mid thigh.
He does. And I'm kind of jealous that I don't have a pair.
David Decker lol David 🤣
Another first-class tactical response - so well co-ordinated - Newark sets a very high standard 👏👏👏👏
Saved the home next door great work!! Merry Xmas
First off I want to say, thank you for your service sir! You have my complete and utter respect for the courage and bravery that it takes to be a fire fighter.
Just one question though... this fire took a little while to get the water running/water starting to spray. It seemed like a little bit of a slow startup compared to other house fire videos I’ve seen.
Is that just me not being smart? Or was there something that hindered speed on this run?
I typically like to see water moving within 60 seconds of the first engine arriving. I don't remember if there was any specific issues on this fire or not. Sorry I can offer more.
I'd guess they have to make sure of what type of fire, water on certain fires can make it worse and even cause explosions.
metafis yup like if there was oil in a frying pan or something water makes it go kaboom big time. Respect for the firefighters.
Chief Decker, I believe you could lead a team into hell & put Satan himself out of business!
I bet that was a beautiful house pre-fire, so sad to see stuff like this happen. I hope the owners had insurance, that's such an awful thing to see ;-;

Thank u for all we love u ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Soo much heartfelt respect
Same.
I found it funny when house improvemnt passed by 1:15
Should have stopped and left a business card.
LOL
Plot twist they started the fire
@@5_fun_facts123 That would have been hilarious
The "home improvements" guy makes a cameo at 10:30 also
Glad everyone was able to get out safely. Does anyone know how the fire started?
Good communication, good scene size up. Great knock and advanced by the line crew.
i did 5 years of 24/7 volunteer fire fighting and i know what these guys go through its a very hard job to do i take my hat off to these guys for there service.
That is satisfying when they put it out also love you keep up the work as
Whoops, noticed at 4:20 when the second line was charged.
i was about to say hold the hose and blam. Too late!
Thats a pump operator who opens a line too fast, and too much pressure.
@@skymedic48 ex volly here. Had that happen to me on a 2.5 inch line at a drill. 3 of us on the line went for a ride.
The 2 1/2 line can be a monster!
One of the best organized and efficient fire departments I have ever seen.
I have to say this is one of the better and more aggressive Dept.s I've seen good job guys
What were the little explosion like things that came out of the bottom left window (the one with a awning)? I also want to say thanks for all you do
at 7:57, it was likely the water stream
13:35 Thank you for finally getting that front corner extinguished… I was anxiously watching that burn since minute 5:00!
chief decker u have got to be the best firechief i have seen u keep so calm and collected just so proffesonall its not funny u just know what to do and when i like ur videos
Me and a buddy put out a house fire in ga before the fd even showed up. They yelled at us for doing it! If we had not the whole place would have gone up including the two neighbors houses
I did the same thing back in 2016. Arsonists lit the house behind mine on fire at like 2 AM. The fd in my area was the next town over helping at a barn fire. My stepdad and i along with a few neighbors used gardens hoses and we were able to put the fire out before fd was able to make it there. The chief told us if we hadn’t done what we did the fire would have spread to our house.
Your videos are a masterclass in good communication.
Great video--quick knockdown--A lot of older areas in cities allover do not always have real good water pressure/volume.Real good ,solid tactics on this one.
Also noticed all the crews maintained integrity. So many of these videos have guys running around by themselves. Everyone appeared to be paired up. Solid
Thanks for sharing your video and bringing back some good memories when I was and how's everything changed since I was a volunteer
Nicely done. Clear commands. Crews working together. No goat rope involved.
Deep respect for the USA firefighters they do a very dificult but fantastic /heroic job respect from tim smith northampton uk
Good stuff, thank you for documenting your fire adventures.
This is so bizarre, Newark is my hometown and it’s not very big. It is weird seeing a video with millions of views about something that occurred in Newark Ohio of all places.
Firefighters are amazing and this was a great job. Respect!!
I give these men alot of credit doing such a dangerous job my hats off to them !
Thank you.
Are the homeowners gonna put the fire out ,??? No is why there is insurance .. we pay for these men Train and put themselves in a bad situation .. for us
Quite the fire.
Something surreal about that moment at 1.15 when a Home Improvement vehicle passes a blazing soon-to-be-a-wreck of a house.
Amazing work, the skill, coordination and teamwork are spot on 😍🥰 you guys make an amazing team
Greetings from the firefighters of the Philippines
I looked at photos of there was a house sold next-door to the house which caught fire and I looked at the photos as of June 28th 2019 the house was completely gone
You guys are so brave.. Never really thought much about the dangers involved until I started watching these videos . our firefighters are truly everyday hero's may God be with you all threw out your journeys be safe and god bless America..
Thank you Ann.
Thank u dear. ;-)
Thank you.
Way to go to the firefighter hope everyone stayed safe and no fatalities god bless you all
Go Buckeyes! 🌊🔥🌊😎
Old houses like that are a pain to overhaul. Good job by all hands. Very professional. Just and observation from a retired OLD Jake.
This some how showed up on in my wifes name. LOL
Nice job guys. I don't know much about firefighting, but I think there's a firefighters course I can take in grade 12 (I'm in grade 10 at the moment), and I plan on taking it. This seems like a job I could enjoy as I would like to help people in need. I've always had some interest in this stuff since I was a little kid and It's stuck with me over the years.
Explorer programs B
When I was going through my academy some high schoolers were there with us I was in the college academy but we had some people that helped them
That is great. Not many people become police or fire to make a difference. I hope and pray you get your calling.
I'm glad the family didn't get hurt. I've never actually seen a serious house fire like that. Watching all that water vapor just pouring out of it was surreal. I have great respect for firefighters and all emergency personnel who put their lives at risk to save others.
Just wondering why no smoke ejector used in roof; perhaps far side, w/ 24' ladder ??
That's a big boy! So sad, that looks like it was a beautiful home. House fires are so devastating, literally my #1 biggest fear, along with a break in
Hey Chief I'm just curious when your MDT beeps or tones what does that mean?
That is either a unit assigned to the call marking en route or on scene, or the dispatcher adding a note such as power company requested or a door code.
@@commandvisionfire awesome thanks. I was volunteer firefighter for many years and worked my way into a officer position and I enjoy see your videos from a command perspective. Keep it up
I'm just wondering why flares or traffic cones are not used to keep John Q. Public at a distance.
Hey, Hey, Hey! It's "Fat Albert" @ 1:00. Seriously tho, this is the BEST video I've seen also far as for response time, professional action by the chief (Captain?) Other videos I've seen show complete chaos with complete LACK OF CONTROL over the situation. One vid even showed multiple engines arriving WITHOUT WATER. Sadly, a second vid showed that a Capt died. May-day was called, but men on the ground (aproximately a dozen) just stood around doing absolutely nothing, even after the call was made. THUMBS UP to this seemingly well-trained team(s) of FF!
Good luck sir you have my respect
impressive knock down and good response time also nice team work all around nice work you guys
Good Luck and God Bless all first responders YOU ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED
What type and model of camera do you use for the dash cam?
Great job on this fire. Clockwork. Off topic question: do the different reflective colors on your turnouts mean anything?
Yes. Yellow trim is a firefighter. Orange trim is a fire officer. Good question.
Thank you for the info. My department does something similar: firefighters wear all black, officers have yellow jackets, captains have red helmets.
Thank you all for the service you all due.........First responders and Medics, Police Officers, Chiefs, Electrician and Gas too
I've watched a lot of your videos, and, I must say, your people don't waste any time and and are quite aggressive in the attack. Excellent job!!
I hope everyone, including any animals got out safe. Hopefully the neighbors homes were spared. Please be safe out there!
Anyone else noticed the irony in the first view moments after the camera started showing the house on fire and a truck drives past the house with “home improvements “ on the side! On a serious note I hope everyone is safe.
Fantastic video.
This looked really professional. The chief was calm on the radio, relayed the issue with the power lines, and had a plan by the time water was available. Every time they got to a new room you could see how hot things were from the steam generated. I may be wrong, but it sure doesn't look like there's much to be saved of that structure. It didn't burn to ashes, but how much of the support inside is actually left? I'm really glad nobody was hurt. The house can be repaired or rebuilt.
Darn Good video Chief Stay Safe out there sir. From a brother out of Frederick County, Maryland.
4:19 hose flys out of hand haha
I've watched dozens of these videos.When do the put water on the fire?
How long did it take you to respond to the fire?
I'm guessing around 3 minutes.
Thanks David decker.
Everyday heroes are the most important. Firefighters, police, and front line workers save lives.
Great job with command. Our chiefs in my local department run IC from outside vehicle to keep better eye on all conditions. We have had a few surprises on fires that are not so friendly to find. We are all volunteers here and daytime manpower is maybe 4 or 5 from each station except our neighbors to the east that their jobs allow them to leave work for calls. So our daytime boxes are much heavier then night time boxes. At night u can get usually about 15-20 from each station.
When I grow up I wanna be a firefighter.
@Glynn Williams ?
The Home Improvement van passing by at around 1:15 was kinda ironic.
Pff VERY ironic 😂
