- On August 17th, 2017, Stockton Firefighters responded to a structure fire with people trapped. Firefighters arriving on scene were able to raise ladders and rescue multiple victims before fighting the fire. After rescuing the victims, fire crews encountered an electrical issue which disabled the primary pumping apparatus. Firefighters overcame this by pulling lines from the next-in fire engine. Stockton Firefighters worked quickly to adapt and overcome a chaotic fire scene. This video is an attempt to encapsulate the events of the scene, though there is so much 'going on' that it is difficult to translate into a single production.
This video is intended to provide information to the public so that they may better understand what firefighters do. This is not intended to serve as an 'opinion battle ground' for strategy and tactics. Comments that troll, sharp-shoot, or otherwise are meant to incite controversy will be deleted. We are proud to serve the citizens and City of Stockton, California.
The Stockton Fire Department consists of 12 firehouses: 12 Fire Engines, 3 Fire Trucks, 2 Battalion Chiefs, and 1 Chief's Operator; equating to 51 firefighters on duty a day. The Stockton Fire Department protects approximately 340,000 civilians.
In 2017, Stockton Firefighters responded to 47,571 emergencies. It was the busiest year in the history of the Stockton Fire Department. Stockton Firefighters extinguished 3,198 fire emergencies, including 363 Working Structure Fires- About One Working Structure Fire A Day.
I'm profoundly jealous of the quality of your dispatch. . .
agreed!
Yes
Same bro same
Who dispatches for their department? Does Stockton have their own dispatch or is it county?
Hats off to the Engineer on Engine 9. If you have never been in that situation you really don't know the stress that person is dealing with. Your truck is not working correctly, people are running up to you yelling anything and everything, crews inside and outside the structure are calling on the radio for water, in some cases if command has not arrived on scene yet then you might possibly be "Command" and are trying to wrangle incoming units to their assignments. You just have to stop, take a deep breath, remember your training, figure out the problem and form a solution. This guy did all of that and didn't waste time trying to "fix" the problem. He shut down the truck, went through his pump steps again, and still saw he had the same issue. Quickly transferred to another engine and kept the fight going. Nothing but professionals on scene that night! Great Job SFD.
Just a reminder to practice troubleshooting your pump, a good engineer can run the shit out of a pump but a great one can methodically troubleshoot a problem during a shit storm. One thing I'll say is in most cases the engine officer is command even if they are "fast attack" sometimes they will give command to another incommming truck if they are doing rescue.
@@RespectableRSYtagreed, but in this situation trouble shooting is a waste of time. Likely would take at least a minute to diagnose this issue and in Stockton a working engine is on scene by then, better off disconnecting the already pulled line and having it ready to tap into the next due engine. But agreed, they should be able to trouble shoot, just not always the best use of time. If they were in rural setting, then yes it’s much more critical.
9:48 "You wanna be a superhero? Take that out." lmfao
Lemons Huh it’s true, withs all those bystanders watching a firefighter coming out of the fire building with a dog definitely would get them goin
"Nah, I'm good."
"Yeah I've already let you be hero enough tonight."
one thing that pissed me off already about this was the citizens getting in their way. Your making the job harder for us to do. You might become a casualty to.
Cole H. 621 Firefighter For Emerald But I think he was trying to help though...
It may have been they guys home, or may have thought his family was trapped in there. I would have done the same thing, and would have wished someone would have came at me like that FF did. Unprofessional, never reason to put your hands on someone like that, even in the heat of the moment.
@@basshead3184 Whatever you say tough guy
Happens all the time. Then, when they get hurt they sew the FD, City, and every possible company there lawyers can think of for there clients that should have gotten out of the way to begin with. Unreal.
I question the ambulance location if another ladder truck is coming in.
Stand back and let the firefighters do their work
Hands down one of the best firefighting videos out there. The transparency you have to show a failure of the pump and the investigation that followed. Thank you for all that you do
Damn that's clean. I'm a 3 month veteran UA-cam firefighting video watcher and even in those tough conditions you held it together.
God bless all of us UA-cam firefighting video watchers - WE ARE THE REAL HEROES - WE ARE THE ONES SACRIFICING OUR SLEEP SCHEDULES AND RISKING OUR TIME AND DATA!!!!!!
What an incredibly dynamic fire ground, from the high level of emotions of bystanders to having as critical of an equipment failure there is for a fire fighter. The ability to adapt and over come in a situation of this magnitude with active rescues is clearly what sets SFD apart. The presentation of the equipment failure is extremely interesting.
I wholeheartedly agree! I have always been a So Cal FD fan, but am quickly becoming an SFD fan! Great work brothers and sisters!
Engine 9’s entire situation sounds like nightmare fuel. First engine on scene to a house fire from a bunch of squatters telling you information that’s true and untrue, necessary and noise, CAN reports to make, direction of new units until command arrives, AND your pumps fail. They did amazingly for their situation
Great job Stockton, as usual.. I’ve been a volunteer for 31 years and when I say you guys set the standard I know a little bit of what I’m talking about.
Thank You for your valiant service to the community. Hats OFF to you.
@@billjenkins687well said!
....next time I bitch about the check engine light Imma be thinking about Pump #9
9:00 this is why I ALWAYS keep my place clean. Never know when your squalor is gonna be filmed for the whole internet to see.
Great job, top to bottom. Great rescue, great knockdown through adversity, and quick response. Also, love the info as to why Engine 9 wouldn’t pump. These things seem to happen at the worst of times. Bottom line? Everyone kept there heads on and continued task at hand without missing a beat. Great job top to bottom by all involved.
This is great work even when the public was getting in the way. Good job. Stockton Fire service.
All credit to the firefighters of Stockton on what was a fast and successful response to the call Also credit to the driver of Engine 9 who must have found himself in a very awkward position with people running around shouting where is the water Keep up the great work and be proud of what you do , Irun away from fire YOU run to it., THANK YOU ALL ..
That dispatcher is awesome
She didn't mention nothing about people being trapped
This video is a prime example of why multiple apparatus respond. Not just for the man power. But also because of Engine 9s pump failure. Mechanical systems can fail at any time, even with proper maintenance and testing.
Great job!! STOCKTON!! FD!! This video shows that you can still be aggressive and still be safe at the same time in the fire service.
Stockton Fire has the best fire videos in terms of clarity, explanations, and photos of the building before the fire. My sympathies to everyone who lost so much.
Kudos for sharing your incident report so that other folks can learn from what happened to E9 and hopefully prevent it from happening to their apparatus!
Incredibly well run department.
Stockton FD are amazing firefighters! I'd love to work side by side with these guys. Stay safe brothers from the Motor City.
Excellent video coverage and post production. Thanks!
I love your videos! Best fire vids I’ve seen. The editing is excellent and the written (captions) descriptions really help to identify and clarify the actions on screen. Please keep making these videos and Thank You!
Stockton Fire, you guys do a hell of a job! Very aggressive department. Love it!
A really great job as usual from Stockton....so professional and well trained. This shows on the fireground!
Best firefighting videos around. Thanks again.
This was actually a really well put together video, thanks!
always such amazing coordination, you guys do such an amazing job!
Who’s ever running this channel needs to get back at it.please and thank you
You Men and Women Are Doing Great work, Proud of All of You. Cheers The Dizzy One.
I love Stockton FD... You guys are so professional...
Thanks for saving the pups, you know they're scared to death. Heavy gloves are a must, scared dogs will bite!
Another great video. Thank you.
As usual great vids, with good info!
@StocktonFireHistory Quick question, Where is the police department to gain control of this clusterfuck? The last thing these firefighters need are civilians getting in the way hindering their work.
Firefighters have 2 jobs to do while keeping in mind their own safety.
1. Rescuing trapped victims
2. Putting out the fire/minimizing property damage
1 and 2 can't happen if you have combative civilians getting in the way.
Stockton dispatch is always amazing.
outstanding video, excellent response as far as I can tell
Great video... thanks!
Impressive ! these guys (and woman) are at the top of the game. WOW great job !!
Real pros, real heroes!... Respect!!
Great job SFD! Allen P Retired Firefighter (Captain)
Well done Stockton - so professional 😃👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
great video as always
Firefighting is a very tough job. Add in bystanders and bad information, it can become deadly. Stockton fire has been decimated by budget cuts and local government corruption. These fine men and women are the best in the country and it shows. No wasting time, action and a plan only. Heros of the profession against all odds.
Stockton CA. FD. awesome crew.
Look at the cable. (12:50)
It seems to have been twisted almost 360 degrees, with the green wire strained, apparently carrying the whole cables' weight.
The constant vibration and movements made one after the next small wire strands break. When the last small wire strand broke, the engine failed.
The blackened color of the cable end (no copper color) indicates that this problem developed slowly over a long time, allowing the wire strands to catch dirt and oxidize.
There was either no cable strain relief or it was not attached properly.
In case there is no cable strain relief, then, to minimize cable strain, it is always very important to have such cables fixated as close as possible to the cable end, to avoid straining the cables' weakest point.
In industrial electronics like robotics it is common good practice to fixate such dangling cable ends, so that the weak wires not protected with the strong cable mantle are not mechanically stressed.
That can be done with cable ties. I'd bind the cable to the yellow connector, for example.
And, many thanks for the very informative and educative videos to the Stockton Firemen!
Awesome job SFD.
That's an well oli machine! Kudos to the Stockton FD, from dispacth to FFs you rock
Incredible!
another outstanding job. aggressive but safe fire tactics!! Go Westfield FD Houston, Tx...Same Black Gear and firefighting tactics. aka Last of the mohicans...
Stockton Fire Department is full of absolute studs they are professional they do their job very well and if I was younger I would be proud to be a part of that department God bless each and everyone of them
That is angering and dangerous when the pump fails.
i love the banter lmao
You guys always get it done. Is it normal for dispatchers not to advise of people trapped?
Pretty sure I heard them say there was victims
Another excellent SFD video. Hey Chief - you better watch out, Hollywood is going to steal your video crew if you're not careful! And can some fire crewmember please tell me about communications: how do you use a radio with a full SCBA facemask on? PTT or VOX? Do all FF have headsets to hear comms? Thanks in advance for the info.

I wish you worked in San Jose, ca. We would love having you. Thank you
Wow active fire scene
GOOD JOB BROTHERS STAY SAFE
I've seen this sort of wire break before in automotive applications. Green wire may have been "tinned" with solder to stiffen the end of the wire then pushed into a friction clip inside the connector. Rosin preparations are most commonly used in electronics as a flux to etch away surface corrosion on the wire strands and allow the solder to bond with the copper. Rosin is acidic when hot and the acid cleans corrosion from the wires. If there was heat inside the wire loom area, rosin residue may have continued to etch the wires and create a weakened point where the solder tinning ends at the insulation. The three wires going into the connector look to be hanging at a right angle to the connector, thus adding stress to the weakened point. Additionally, copper work hardens when stressed and becomes brittle. With engine vibration harmonics working upon all components of the fire truck, over time the weakened stress point in the green wire strands can part. I've had this happen where the wire insulation extended into the connector with the strands broken and invisible inside the wire covering creating an intermitant failure, a total nosebleed to diagnose.
I think I saw a documentary once about an airliner that crashed because of something similar to this. Loose contacts are the bane of every mechatronic system. Just goes to show how important well engineered plugs really are.
Stockton fire department is one Best Departments in the nation it's just a shame They live in a state where the politicians care more about their back And what they can get out of the people then taking care of the people Not providing to the first responders What is needed to do the job Stockton firefighters are real studs
Just glad they were able to save the dogs!
Stay safe out there 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
“Very happy little girl”
“Okay good *goes back inside*”
The firefighters need to let the citizens do their job.
Why so they can all die
one hell of a grate job guy. and I am a dog lover, love the way you took care of the dogs. al thoe they need more police on seen right away. fire fiters should not have to keep people off the ladders. police to slow.
Excellent video as always. Quick question though, what is the difference between a fire engine and a fire truck? Here in the UK we would call all the vehicles fire engines.
Engine carries the array of hoses for suppression efforts and the truck has the array of portable ladders usually with a mounted ladder that can extend upwards to a 100 feet long.
@@lamontjones8004 Thank you
You guys never fail to persuade me to join the fd instead of the military
Both stairwells. Hmm, that's not suspicious 🤔
I could see a police car and ambulance on scene too
I don't if this has been asked. Who is the Operator 1?
From other video's comments-an Operator is like an extra Battlion Chief level officer that usually takes on the safety officer role or other command staff role if a safety officer is on scene.
Any rhyme or reason as to why SFD encounter so many structure fires every ?
I've wondered that very thing myself
Im sure it has to due with population. I'd like to see stats on similar population sizes and densites
A question from a layman: I heard one shouldn’t spray water in a burning room because the hot steam would ‘cook’ you but in the video, firefighters used water to cool down the room. What did they mean by that? Was the room not directly on fire or did they cool from outside?
Creation of steam as a danger is old, incorrect info. Water cools the situation & combustible gasses. A short burst of water off the ceiling drops temps dramatically. NIST has some gr8 vids on this.
@@katiekane5247 not true I've seen several videos where the room wasn't on fire and the crews inside td outside crews to stop spraying they were being cooked in their location. Mind you the room they were in wasn't even close to the seat of the fire and wasn't on fire
Porque se burlan los bomberos 😣
English man not very few of us speak Spanish at all
FIRE FIGHTER. SORRY ABOUT THE SPELLING
How complicated does this bloody pump need to be? Like its either on or off. Let the guy at the nozzle end control flow. Have a reservoir with a float valve for re circulation to prevent pump cavitation. Not rocket science. Does not have to be digital. Who in there right mind would build something designed to save lives so complicated and without redundancy?
As I understand, the Engine's are staffed with three, Driver, Captain and Fire Fighter? Little bit understaffed is my opion.
Yes and no. Four is ideal, some bigger cities run more guys, but 3 is fairly typical around where I live and for many departments across the country on engines. Four would be nice.
Lmfao the pets hide?
The green wire being pulled is suspicious... engineer spot is highly coveted, to fail turning on the pump in a stressful situation.. but hey the green wire failed nothing to see here move along.
I doubt it, these things can happen. If the guy made it to engineer there's no way he can't get the pump to run.
