Stockton Fire • 2nd Alarm, 2 Structures on Fire
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 вер 2024
- On Monday August 6th, 2016, Stockton Firefighters responded to reports of a vehicle fire in the 2400 block of Porter Way. While en route, the call was upgraded to a structure fire.
Firefighters were delayed due to the high call volume (multiple fire engines already assigned to other emergencies). Engines from surrounding firehouses responded and quickly extinguished the fire; minimizing damage to the residences.
Firefighters arrived on scene to find two houses on fire, and called for a second alarm. Firefighters worked quickly to extinguish the fire and save as much of these homes as possible. Crews immediately used a 2 1/2 inch hoseline (larger and more difficult to maneuver than other hoselines) to put more water on the fire faster. This hoseline selection produced a volume of water that knocked the majority of the fire down within minutes.
Stockton Firefighters continue to provide service with staffing levels similar to the 1970's. The number of calls have quadrupled since then. In 2016, the 12 firehouses are on pace to exceed 40,000 emergency responses.
Stockton Firefighters are proud to serve and protect the citizens and City of Stockton, California.
The IC didn't have to give much direction. Crews knew exactly what to do. Building an organization that good is harder than it looks. Very impressive!
This should be a NATIONAL video on how to put a fire out the correct and expedient way !!! AWESOME JOB !!!
I really like the captions explaining what is occurring
Great to see a FD that get's water on so quickly.
Martin Ryan I agree!! The way it should be done
Martin Ryan
That's what I was thinking. The onboard tanks are there for a reason and these guys used it
Most do.
With all the issues this dept has to face and their larger than avg call volume,....You guys have 1 hell of a well-trained fire dept.... They knocked that down FAST!
good job guys, I can't believe how fast you guys put out that fire and on top of it you guys saved the houses, great job
As an aspiring FF, I love Stockton FD videos for the narration and explanation of each radio call. I learn a ton from these videos, please keep them coming!
“Outstanding” seems inadequate to describe the impressive way in which this incident was managed. Well done, Stockton FD.
I like the use of the reel hose brings back old memories
Great job knocking this down, you had water on this in just over 2 min. Many of these videos it take the departments from 4 to 8 min. to get water on the fire and I have seen many go from a small fire to fully involved which could have been prevented if the dept. had just hustled and got water on it.
They should show Stockton fire videos to all suburban FDs as training aids showing how to make aggressive interior attacks.
This is the fastest knock down I have ever seen. Great job!
True professionals as usual
Very impressive response with rapid knockdown on both structures and vehicles - super effortguys !👌👏👏❤️👏❤️
Great job, brothers. CFD sends their congrats for doing so well with so little!
good job guys. that was one stubborn car fire. the city seriously needs to increase your guy's budget and hire more firefighters
Some departments I've seen would have burned both houses to the ground and taken days to get water on the fire.
Doctor Ya Ya Creator of Ecstasy Exactly! I was going to say that most videos I see it seems like it takes them DAYS to get water on the fire. This crew here moved with purpose and had this fire handled with ease, very skilled and disciplined.
Wow not many trucks now have booster lines impressive ❤️👍🏻👌🏻👏
Good, quick, proper intervention. Kudos to the pros!
God bless the brave men and women of the Stockton fire department. I have watched dozens of these videos and their bravery never ceases to amaze me.
great job as usual! Hopefully city government will wake-up and give you the added resources you so greatly need.
Awesome job on the quick knock down. Well done FF's!!
very impressive! Awesome job guys.
These guys are as good as it gets - so professional 😃👌👌👏👏👏👏
Amazing work. Well done, boys.
Very impressed right call on the 2 a half. Unless a deck gun was available great job
Good thing they had carports, it limited the fire getting into any attic or crawl spaces of either structure
Gee whiz! Talk about a rapid attack! Great work!
Excellent professional work, brothers! Great 2 1/2 initial attack, you had your primaries and ventilation done in record time. Got to love those booster reels, a little old school that we really underestimate the value of. Killer camera mount too!
Like clockwork. You guys rock
Stockton sets the standard for a rapid attack on the fire - great tactics and control.😃👌👌👌👏👏👏👏❤️
Take notes....
damn you guy and gal’s have your stuff together!!!
Definitely shows the benefits of the 2.5". Anything larger than a single room and content fire should be a 2.5" straight pipe first off the truck (in my opinion). If the fire is choked out and you're going in after it in a vent controlled state you can probably make a case for the easier to maneuver 1.75"... but for that self vented or exterior fire it's pretty obvious the 2.5" is the best option as demonstrated here.
I think the biggest problem is most departments don't have a pre-piped 2.5" line ready to go or never use it (because they rarely have fires) so they aren't used to it and find it to gangly. You pull the 1.75" on a lot of vehicle fires and dumpster fires, so you're used to it, not to mention it is lighter and easier to move around than a 2.5". However those factors mean that a lot of people automatically jump to it because it is the most familiar and one of the easiest lines to use.
As I was told you have to use an appropriate line for the situation. Have a hydrant and pre-connected (or quickly connectable) 2.5" and you show up on scene of a fully involved garage, you should pull it and go. You can do a lot of good with a 1.75" line, but if you have a water supply use big water for big fire. I'll always remember my dad's story about being the only available engine in the city and getting dispatched to a structure fire with the 2nd in unit being 10 minutes out. BC called for a 2nd alarm based on the column from across town. My dad's engine showed up to a fully involved garage. Told his firefighter to get the supply and his engineer to get the deck gun flowing while he did his 360. By the time the BC showed up on scene (about 5 minutes later) they'd already knocked down the fire and were pulling a 1.75" line to start mopping up. Always pull the proper size line for the amount of fire.
Man you guys are so lucky to have access to fire hydrants... where I live the nearest hydrant is 25 miles away. We end up drafting all of our water from ponds or by mutual aid tankers... so much fun lol. I am very jealous of how aggressive you can be on a fire because of easier access to water... as always you all do a wonderful job.
Welcome to my world Ethan. We are very rural with no hydrant system. We train constantly on drafting operations and dump tank operations. It also changes how you do your initial attack when you know that the only water you have available before the tenders come into play is tank water. With longer response times and limited water supply it adds lots of challenges.
Hopefully you guys spec trucks with at least 1000 gallons due to that situation. My current assignment is a more rural area with limited hydrants but we have a water tender as well and the 4th man takes the water to the scene so we have 3500 gallons on arrival. We use 2.5s with no issue often because some areas hace longer response times. 1 minute of water from a 2.5 knocks a ton of fire down. Switch to the 1.75 and finish it off usually before our 2nd due arrives. Our other 8 stations we put the entire assignment on scene in about 5 to 6 minutes so its a whole different ballgame. 3 lines working a hole cut in the time my current engine usually arrives on scene.
i still think there should be grants or something to put water access in rural america. like we have billions of dollars to send overseas but our government dont kind a rats ass about its people. its a shame really.
I like the narrative.
Great job, no wasted moves....
That's the way it's done great camera angle nice job on attack
Awesome work guys, I love watching these videos you make. Keep up the great work, hopefully someday I'll get the opportunity to work for this amazing department 👍🏻
Excellent work.
yes, very nice job..
Great job
Great Hussle! Most of America should take lessons from Stockton
What a dept they don't fool around! They are like a well oiled machine.
Great job !
Very fast knockdown, well done
Why a 1-3/4" second line instead of another 2-1/2"?
Now that's how you do that. Well done.
Some of these fire department videos depict the inadequacies of an agency attempting to extinguish one structure. These kick ass guys knocked down two structures!
Good job guys!
Good Job!
Right on guys nicely done
I can't be the only one that has always wanted to see one of those fully skirted Washingtonia palms (the big palms behind the houses) catch on fire. As far as I can tell there are no videos of that on the internet which is pretty surprising really. Oh well, maybe one day.
Very nice job
Little confused a 2nd alarm wasn't sounded right off the bat. He said "single-story heavy fire" at 0:51. Doesn't even mention 2 houses. Truck 4 guy knew what the deal was.
Damn good knockdown
great vid nice radio traffic, good job done by all
Continue to watch this video. SFD is the best at what they do. Quick, efficient and safe.
This was on my birthday, woow
Great job as allways S F D
Why don't the fire engines all have a water gun,on top of the engine,to immediately begin putting water on the fire while the hoses are hooked up? Just a question.
Wow!
May not be a better Dept than Stockton fire.
Elite FD . Top of the line
Why is the clock stop when it’s still a working fire?
I feel so sorry for the house right next to it. :(
I don’t notice many engines with booster lines (i think that is what they call it). It would seem like a quick option for small fires (car fires). I know nothing about ff and was just curious.
They kind of went out of favor for a while depends. We have them on our trucks....but its now a no no to use them for even cars but they still get used fairly often.
Could someone explain the 2 in / 2 out thing? Does this mean that they can’t make entry on a structure until there is a 2nd line to back them up?
2in 2 out is an osha requirement for firefighters. in short it means that before any firefighters can go interior to a structure fire, there most be at least 2 men outside available to preform a rescue if the first two get into trouble on the inside. but this doesn't extend past two, just as long as at all times there are two men outside for the duration. if you want to see the actual code its (OSHA) policy 29 CFR 1910.134(g)(4)(i).
@@cerberusairforce does the pump op/engineer count as one of the 2?
@@boxeightytwo8 well it depends. Usually not. Because to fulfill the osha requirement they have to be 100% geared up and ready to enter the structure and initiate a rescue. But if your department requires engineers to be in turn outs with a bottle and mask on while operating. Then only if they are not the operator of the “pumping” engine. The one all of your lines are coming off of.
They better investigate that car fire ... I'd be pissed if I was the owner of the car that caught fire.
So sad
So your department staffs three man engine companies? What is ladder staging?
bunker108 4 on truck companies.
bereal2us that's opposite of us. We run four on engine companies and three on ladders.
Stockton fire right there..
Stockton city Clowncil is not providing adequate funding for the fire department. Each Clowncil member should be required to spend a week working in the department. And I mean WORKING not sitting around expecting special treatment.
I really don't understand americans why nobody put mask on in truck on the way and when they come to the scene just plug in air? Why they are always putting mask on the scene, when they know at least 2 will go in?
Masks limits visibility, get out and see what is happening, then mask up.
It's tough to communicate with the masks on- and as mentioned already it also restricts visibility. Being able to step off the truck, grab a hose and go stick it somewhere also limits a firefighter's ability to stop and take a look around before committing to action. Stopping to take a knee and put a mask on gives you a chance to take a look around and take in a slightly bigger picture than if you were to just start working right off the bat. Also forces you to consider applying water from outside if that option is available. More often than not you can still get water onto the fire from outside while your partner masks up- then you switch on the handline to put your own mask on. If the fire hasn't breached anywhere then it is oxygen deprived and you can take it on your own terms, fighting it from a "preparing" operating mode. The days of blindly jumping into action to go spray water on things is over.
Safty first, must have a seat belt on and that makes it tough.
Sometimes ill put my mask on for something like a car fire while en route but stretching longer lines , throwing ladders etc prefer to not be limited in visibility until I have to and depending on time of year it instantly fogs up.when not plugged in.
Wow
seems like Stockton FD may be too efficient for their own good. The city bean counters will see that the job is getting done despite 1970 staffing levels. Why hire more firefighters when the ones you have can do 4X the work for the same pay? And if they have an incident that requires more manpower than is available, just call for mutual aid from outside the city. That's just how bureaucrats rationalize it.
There is no mutual aid. Do you know where Stockton is located?
Fuck in a Talk about fast! Saved those 2 homes They just need to rebuilding on the Car ports it looks like. 11 Minutes is fast!
Show me who beats Stockton FD on attack, communication and safety efforts better than these guys? Correct. No one else out there............
My job firefighters 👩🚒👩🚒👨🚒👨🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚨🚨🚨
they got that shit out quick
Thumbs ☝
Deck gun fail
