Watched the video for the knowledge... Came to the comments to leave a random fact: At 1.25 speed, sounds like Dan Aykroyd.

What size is the rod and where can you purchase one?

Are these all 2 1/2" fittings? Is it possible to fit a 2" hose adapter to the intake of this?

Must be running a smoothbore?

We dont put zips on roads and Dont complain about our gear dont be jealous

Greetings from Detroit, Michigan I wish I could’ve been there for this. Does anybody know if FDNY retired chief Jerry Tracy was there? He lives for this stuff, wrote a book about high-rise fires.

With a widely recognised 400%+ over representation of cancer amongst firefighters, such blackened kit isn't cool, it's carcinogenic.

Very high quality product

Used one in the mid 70’s on a commercial basement fire, and again in a residential basement fire. The one we used was attached to a 3’ long, 2 1/2 pipe attached to the nozzle, and two 3’ “arms / brackets” that hinged out 90 degrees so that you could drop the pipe down the hole and the “arms” rested on the floor, thereby suspending the pipe and head at about 30” into the hole. The only drawback was that if you didn’t limit flow, the basement would fill up and flood in no time! Other than that, it was a great tool.

ive subbed want to see this

Masterpiece! High flows, low Friction Loss and built to last the service life of the apparatus. Suggestion - Make the field adjustable intake pressure setting available without having to use a tool (5/8” socket wrench). Simply have the large housing (150-175-200-225) dial able to pull outward and then adjustable with the relief pressure needed. Press back inward and your set. This would make it the first / true adjustable relief valve in the field without another tool. Last, would love to see a motorized one that will auto-adjust to your choice / set intake pressure. Of course this option could be turned OFF if not needed. Example: Set item for a 60 psi. Intake pressure an no more.

Try using colour smoke next time for greater effect

The ending line about water is great.

6:25 interesting to hear UK firefighting is focused on masonry buildings. I've noticed a lot of new homes in southern England are masonry ground floor with timber frame & OSB (wood sheet) upper floor. I hope the water supply is suitably upgraded where they are building these houses.

Hey Cap. Did a flow/ pressure evaluation of 12 nozzles following the Meridian incident for my department. The # 1 nozzle was the Akron "Assault" nozzle. Provided 250 gpm @ 50 psi. While also providing the protection afforded by a fog or semi- fog pattern. Just something else to consider. Wm Mora, Capt. Ret. San Antonio Fire Department.

Wonder if an automated pump management system such as the Hale SAM would be able to monitor discharge pressure and adjust it on the fly as the individual nozzles are opened and closed?

UK person here. Morton in the Marsh is just up the road from me in Worcestershire! Great video! My Grandad was a firefighter after doing the Artic Convoys with the Navy in WW2. I used to beg him to tell me stories of fighting fires. He was in Bromyard, a really rural little town and outside my Grandparents house was a bell on a pole which was the old alarm system apparently. One night I could smell burning and i kept telling my Nan, then low and behold the Safeway over the road was fully engulfed! I watched it for hours from my bedroom window.

👍

Great instructional video and explanation! Those two firefighters are just having a blast in the background, watering the trees. :)

Anyone know where to get straps like that made?

UK mostly have brick buildings, but Sweden has a lot of buildings built out of wood and the same technique is used there as far as I can gather. Amazed that the US has about 3,5 times the amount of water per minute!

Why was the fire fighter not wearing SCBA in all that smoke! This is what leads to high cancer rates in firefighters!

Curt is yelling over a siren in his head that only he can hear.

Great job

HELL YEAH

That's great if the only thing burning in a room, is the ceiling. How often does that happen? If you want the room contents to stop burning, you have to get the contents wet. That's where an adjustable nozzle comes in. Along with thinking about where the fire is so you know where to apply the water, will get the job down. The key is to THINK and use the least amount of water to quickly and safely extinguish the fire. This is how you do that with an adjustable nozzle or fog tip, not with a smooth bore. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3O0oYmep7iSatE

This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard for a deckgun, none of this even sounds valid. Deck gun shouldn't even be charged without a man on it. And if that person cannot get the flow on the fire in 10 seconds. Ugh this argument isnt even valid. ELKHART just trying to sell some bullshit!

I have never had the two ideas shown and compared and discussed so well. In my region we started adoptin european style but probably not very well, as Chubb said its not extinguishment cooling gasses. We have started avoiding and not even using smoth bores and pick on too much water but forget we subconsciously go to it when in defensive structure fire fighting and aerial assistance .

Private Industry oil and gas Fire instructor from Australia here. So happy I found this thank you for your work and showing everyones ideas.

Don’t forget to drain the trapped water out if you live in a place where stuff can freeze!

As someone who has been instructed tactics like this my whole career, I have to say, proper gas cooling is very hard to master. Just flowing low pressure water is a lot easier and thus keeps your focus more on the situation. Furthermore you create less hot steam, if you don‘t evaporate the water in large quantities. In fact these are among the reasons gas cooling is (partly!) on the decline over here (Germany).

Heyyy my family is from Elkhart!

Not bad for a kid from NFD

Thanks for the info. Now I am ready to install it

Just add a small generator motor to the paddle wheel to generate operating power and no external battery is needed.

Could we put the gauges at the 50ft mark. We run 150ft lines.

I’d like to know what manufacturer of gear he has

What a fantastic documentary which shows a multi-layered approach to dealing with and managing fires within structures.

Thank you so much for putting this together and sharing your experience! I’ve wanted to visit the UK Fire Service College since I had an opportunity to train with the Oxford Fire Brigade while studying abroad my senior year of College (2002). (I’m from US) I now challenge my fire/ems students to complete a global research paper in their education because it’s important to compare/contrast and learn from each other. This was a fantastic watch and I’m sure I’ll be watching again and again!

'Promo sm' 😂

Hey the steering wheel is ass backwards! 😂❤

I'm not in the fire service but watching this and the techniques used are very interesting and I'd like to learn more about fire science.

That was just awesome to watch. I'm a volunteer firefighter from New Zealand and I've learnt some new tactics that I'll try at training. Please keep these videos coming. We can never stop learning and we should never stop going back over the basics

so. chris martin retired from cold play and become firefighter? i see some gains in there

Americans stop giving AF about British opinions since 1776

We as firefighters can always learn something new regardless of how many years on the job.

Fantastic video and well presented. As a UK firefighter used to gas cooling and not using our 45mm/52mm and 70mm hoses often, this video was very informative.

Que maravilloso a de ser tener todos esos equipo de protección a tu alcance, muchos bomberos en mexico viven de donaciones de equipos usados y muy viejos.

Accent so thick I could hardly understand
