17 was bout to hall ass js now

The second incident I felt my heart rate go up to about 130 because the IC sounded very anxious about the scene. I understand he had a lot going on I get that but taking it down a notch for myself would help me to think through the situation better.

On this episode of *_BC’s Slowly Getting Dressed:_* Some ‘Civilains’ Get Rescued. Sorta.

Need more chiefs like him.

Chief Ike great job running your orchestra

All y'all talking about how you could do it better, please go do it better and save lives. If you aren't gonna put up, hush up. These guys are saving lives and mitigating as much damage as they can. You sat you cant work for this guy, again go do it better somewhere else or shush.

Would you be interested in teaching a class at a CFT Fire Conference

WHOA ONLY 50 % INVOVLED DAMN

That’s a nice Pierce Ladder Apparatus

He wouldn’t just be pulling up in my yard like that. Park on side of road like everyone else. 4 wheeler doesn’t need to be that close to scene. Respect people properties around. We are to protect property and life. Not destroy property. This department would be grading and reseeding my yard.

That first house fire was crazy! That whole thing was burning. God bless them.

I think the criticism of micromanagement is perhaps misplaced. One thing I see radically different in these videos that I see in no others I've watched is getting water on the fire fast ....within minutes not 30-40 minutes as seen in many videos from NJ & NYC areas. I think the fast, early arrival hard core management is the way this water on the fire quickly goal is achieved, this batallion chief quickly accesses each site. And quickly seems to have a picture of where he wants each piece of equipment located and how lines are to be arranged, what feeds what, and how certain trucks feed into others,, which my guess is how he has water on the fires fast, and has multiple trucks connected so their internal water feeds from one to the next efficiently so fire fijghting isbd delayed until the hydrant lines are live. The way he gets everything set up then is already set for efficient high volume water on fire once the hydrants take over. If the chief is silent, I don't think the arriving trucks would end up being placed or set up and formatted feeding as efficiently to achieve both early water on the fire and then hydrant supply. It looks like a well oiled machine and like a very good sports team with a good coach and professional team players who don't mind home setting up the early plays while equipment is arriving. Once everything is set up, he seems to step back and let the team do it's thing. My only criticism would be that it seemed to me like the speed on water on fire was taking priority over a cursory search for occupants still inside on some calls where buildings were not yet fully involved. I think other fire departments should watch andlearn from this teams hustle. You see the team hustling, and no-one just standing around. Watch other videos of big city fire fighting in NJ & NYC and it's like watching a film in slow-mo. I understand urban firefighting is different, but in the other videos from East Coast areas, I see little or no hustle, water on fire is rarely less than 30 minutes and tons of guys just standing around. I guess those are backup teams that are needed to relieve the first teams when they must be rotated out...when fighting big fires in high rises and warehouses and bigger fires found in the urban areas... I don't know, I am not a FF.

A Chief that doesn't mind getting dirty. Great example. 💯💯💯

Exemplary speed! This should become a norm.

Chief and team Very efficient! Well done

Great job to All of you. THANK YOU FOR SERVING THE COMMUNITY as you do this dangerous work.

If this BC isn’t there are they gonna know what to do. So over micromanaged it isn’t even funny.

You got a very well trained department !

Thanks for sharing Chief, guys look very professional! Training shows.

Is your dept standardized with clear roles when they arrive at a fire scene

Man, the house was a loss upon size up. Everyone looked like they were working a plan from the same playbook, and got an opportunity to use all of their stuff too. Everything was getting done in a reasonably short amount of time and a minimum of fumbling about. I heard tank levels routinely called out, there were no threats of extension I saw or mentioned. It appeared to go normally from all the fires I have seen and benon.

this guy has his sh** together !!!!😝

Well 97% of your command is A+, although (constructive criticism ) you need a solid lesson on big water tactics especially when you have the amount of engines showing up, as seen in so many of these incidents. And my final thought, a 6hr trainer on combat breathing or have your personal portable radio reset for mic modulation. I cant tell if you were overly stressed on some of these and speaking extra loud, or something as simple as over modulating. But great content.

This guy is too slow

Stop micromanaging

Thanks for the vid, I like how the chief plans.

High 5 Battalion Chief 2! ✋🏻! What an AMAZING job you did on all the scenes in this video! High 5! To ALL FIRE FIGHTERS in this video! ✋🏻! Impressive work all of you!! 👏🏼👏🏼

Chief, Put the radio down and shut the fuck up! Squad 3 Squad 3 Squad 3 Engine 11 Engine 11 Squad 3 Stop There Stop There. If your first due companies don’t know there responsibilities it’s time to go back to the basics. He talks on the radio like he’s having a conversation with someone in front of him…

An hour of the same scene?

A Battalion Chief packing out and grabbing irons…love it!

Sir you are doing a great job..One knows whose in charge ,your people are well managed.Great job

Your guys sure know how to work. Constant hustle and I love it

INTEGRITY OVERLOAD ! DIGG ITT ! 🇺🇲

14-year active FF here. Let your men do their thing, delegate and trust them.

Please make more like this. I really enjoyed this type of video

What do you wanna bet the chief used to be a parking lot attendant telling everyone where to park

BC, have you considered getting a noise canceling headset for your portable or command radio set up. Many are and have moved to that within the digital radio systems

Chief what camera do you use ?

Hey Chief what cameras do you use in your vehicle ?

Could you please add (accurate) closed captions? It would help me figure out the context of the commands and the radio comms, especially since everything happens quickly. Thanks!

Why does this guy put gear on? By the time he is geared up, there are 3 engines already on with the fire almost out lol.

I hope that victim survived in the fire around the 55 min mark. Also, just an fyi but the link in the description is broken

Great video! Its interesting to see you all at work. Thank you for all you do!

Okay---so how do these porker fire-dogs do anything but stroke-out when they see flashing reds? For crying out loud, some of these lard-buckets must weigh 300-lbs., which raises the prospects that they're equally likely to be dumber than dark. Pitiful stuff, this.

You're a chief, not a firefighter. If you need to put gear on you're in the wrong spot. Shouldn't even need to leave the front seat of the car.

Escambia County Sta 14 is where I started my firefighting career as a volunteer

44:20 11 you can just come on down here point perfectly East I’ll be checking with my compass make sure you are 90degrees with 17 I do have my protractor.

I get it chief, but damn let your guys work. If they are trained you shouldn’t have to micro manage them the way you do.

The micro management is brutal. Stay back and let your officers do their job. Manage the big picture, not every little detail.

Don’t get shot or something. 😂
