I agree, no ground ladders, no one to the roof for ventilation. Absolutely everyone went to the stairwell and clogged it up. The second handline opened up on no fire, they opened up because it was hot. ALOT of training needs to happen here. Thank the lord above that nothing went wrong because this would have been a tragedy.
Thanks for watching. First thing, this helmet cam was from the firefighter on the 3rd due engine. There was already 1 engine company on fire attack, 1 truck company on primary search. I was riding on the 2nd due truck ,not far behind this firefighter. We actually went to the roof and performed vertical ventilation. There was a slight bottleneck at the front door due to high heat and congestion with the split level stairs. But, there were ladders thrown (by me) as well as ventilation (by me). I did not have a helmet cam at the time of this video. So please, ask questions and I will answer, but do not assume you see the whole situation from a single perspective.

@@heavy7799 Have you ever had a driveway fail due to the weight of the apparatus? We have. Our SOG does not allow most apparatus to leave the roadways due to safety, ie... setting up on grass or off roadways or sidewalks/ driveways. Thin concrete. carrying ladders and tools is part of the job. We do advocate for the aerial to "take the address" which it did. Thank you for the clarification on the terminology.
@@dekalbtwenty4258 ...fires don’t always happen in perfect conditions. If the ground isn’t soft, as in didn’t have much rainfall in recent days, and the rig will fit them put it where it’s suppose to be. Put the plates down and set the rig up to go to work. “Sorry mamm, your son was killed fighting a fire because we were to nervous to set up our $1 million dollar truck. We saw him at the the top floor window but took to long to get to him”. Where I’m from out TL chauffeur will put the aerial scope anywhere it’ll fit and be up it operation in minutes.
@@heavy7799 We've never had an issue with throwing portable ladders. If you're relying on a TL for rescue on a single family dwelling then maybe the tactics should be reconsidered. We are a very busy truck company. More rescues have been done by portable ladders than aerials. We do serve in a suburban area of Atlanta.
There seems to be a lot people on here who know a lot about Dekalb County Fire Rescue. But yet based on the input from said people it seems like there is quite a lack of real experience. Go eat another donut while you bash a highly aggressive department that see’s more fire in a year than any of you will see in your entire “career”

Thankfully those ground ladders went up with 7 people in line to go In the front door. 6 we'll excuse the guy with the pipe in hand.

You can literally hear the chief call for ladders at 1:45

Just lost 7:19 of my life. But I’m sure there is a wonderful reason the TL is out on the street instead of in the driveway.
Sorry, it's taken me a while in responding. What do you mean by TL? Not every dept. has the same terminology.
