    loved the way the one guy worded it " oh lets see,,, im gonna take the big boy" lol.
    its like that here where im from. we have a total of 27 guys who work at my station and havfe like 6 engines and were all vol. and sometimes when we roll on calls our first engine on scene will sometimes be one guy til some guys get on scene. great vid

    Sorry, I gotta agree with those who are critical of this fd's effort to confront this fire. Given the smoke conditions, it took far too long to actually start knocking it down. I don't care who the company is, or if the garage is vacant or not, this looks like poor firefighting tactics. Anyone who is remotely subjected to the toxic smoke should be wearing SCBA. Period.

    There's nothing like watching our PGFD brothers work while hearing those Powercall and Q's approaching! Nice vid 800 :)

    i can agree with you on all except one point. If you're talking about the officer running the camera, I'd imagine he's one of their Public Information Officers, who's JOB it is to get the worker on film/gather information. You can see the chief's buggy pull up following the truck company in the beginning of the film

    First arriving engine had two personell. Truck was fully staffed. We ended up having about 30 firefighters there witin minutes.

    At the end of the video, you see a FF pickup a ladder and proceed to walk down the D side of the building, WITHOUT using an SCBA. Why would you purposely inhale toxic smoke??? In Toronto Canada, TOO MANY firefighters are dying before retirement due to smoke inhalation received over the years. Also, too many firefighters are dying within 4 - 5 years of retirement due to job related cancers caused by smoke inhalation. A lot of these guys started prior to SCBA's coming on the trucks. WEAR YOURS!

    your right - it's a "VACANT GARAGE." Firefighter safety was priority one.

    first truck in understaffed? there was 6 guys there plus pump operators there. how many do you need for a smale garage fire?

  • @NC403Firefighter
    @NC403Firefighter 12 років тому

    They completely remove the door so they could advance the hoseline in and hit the seat of the fire. Just spraying water into the building without advancing the hoseline would not do anything to extenguish it, but just "push" it.

  • @flammabletube

    Lots of firefighters but it seemed to me they had no real plan they ripped open the door without a charged line then it seemed they had no idea what to do sorry guys

    They had a charged 2 1/2" line there ready to go. I don't know why they don't use LDH for supply lines though.

    Lets open the door but whatever you do DO NOT put water on it.

  • @Dthorn912

    i dont think it was a good idea to start opening that door without a charged line ready'

  • @hebneh
    @hebneh 12 років тому

    I'm not a firefighter, but it surprised me to see the men bust open the door, and then do a lot of other stuff, without any water in use during the entire video. I would've thought that as soon as the door was opened, they would've been actively spraying the interior.

  • @colinsgrandad
    @colinsgrandad 14 років тому

    I think I understand it now...after watching some of these vids I have seen large fires knocked down very quickly with a well placed stream of water or, as in this case, not so quickly with no stream of water. So that means if the fire is hit by water the fire goes out and the fun is over. See, I got it. Come on guys, vacant or not there is someone's property in there and If it were mine I would appreciate the well placed stream.

    I read a bunch of comments and have this to say.
    1. You want to surgically extinguish a fire using just enough water to stop it Quickly! You don't want to run out, create too much water damage or look like an idiot squirting water into a smoke filled garage with no idea where it's going.
    2. The fire is smoldering and suffocating which gives you a little time to Think. Thinking is very underrated especially at fires.
    3. Get a line ready. A 1-3/4" line is plenty and is maneuverable.
    4. Do a 360 to look for windows and Man doors.
    5. When the water is ready, get the doors open and then close them. You are now ready for access. Start breaking out windows especially the gable end ones. Cross ventilation will start moving smoke so you can see the burning material or at least, have a better idea where it is. OPEN the nozzle to a 35% cone and hit the hot spots for a few seconds ONLY! NO, solid streams at close range. That's how you waste water and create the dreaded steam you guys are so terrified of.
    6. With a couple of escape routes such as the man and garage doors, you can start moving in to search and destroy. Make believe that you are going to run out of water at any time This will make you Have to Think rather than standing or sitting like a statue and just drowning the property.

    @bullzisnipr3 Well said, i understand you. Guys, use your brains not your ball..... Vacant structure fires are a totally different ball game, high risk/low reward vs low risk/high reward. Remember the Worchester 6........ how soon we forget.

  • @barbnjak1
    @barbnjak1 11 років тому

    But when did they advance the line? Never. If they wanted to stay defensive, that's fine but USE THE WATER. Line was charged at 1:40 and at 3:00 they entered for about five seconds and then withdrew. Water was never seen used. Door was off. Operate straight stream into garage and take advantage of reach of stream to start cooling area. I'd love to see the rest of the video. I bet they stood around making openings, even in roof, until fire was blowing out everywhere. Then they probably used water

    I have the privilege to watch Professional Firefighters in Southern California daily with my job. And after watching dozens of Volunteer Fire Departments work fires on UA-cam. It's scary to see how inept Volunteers are. I don't understand why so many cities across America risk "lives and property" by continuing to use Volunteer Firefighters! I appreciate Volunteer Firefighters for giving their free time and service to the public. But people need to understand that Volunteer Firefighters are doing it for free for a reason. Because they don't have what it takes to get hired as a Professional Firefighter. This is just flat out pathetic!

    @MultiDaniel56 11 років тому

    Seems like the main thing is to get several hoses going at once and with spray, not stream. stream is only for distance, you want spray to actually stop a fire. Make everything too wet to burn.

    • @JB91710

    Anybody know what the plan is?.... ok first lets open the garage door, then go in for a few seconds, Naw lets go around the back. Ladder the alpha side, no the charlie delta corner instead, oh yeah Junior, go ahead and break out some windows while we figure out where we'll make entry... Sorry guys but fancy equipment and lots of FFs on scene dose not a good ICS structure make. Looks like most every one was freelancing

  • @pcfd20

    @bullzisnipr3 So cause its a vacant building you guys just let it burn and walk around and watch? Honestly the dumbest thing i have heard to date.. Don't get me wrong their not worth firefighter safety, but that don't mean you cant spray water in through the big ass door opening your crew just made.... That guy on nozzle would have probably had knock down in no time if not pulled out to go protect a house next door that was clearly not in any danger...( he shouldn't have entered)
