ATTIC FIRE with roof cut | Helmet Cam Video

I am trying to bring as many eyes to the mental health mission as possible. Helmet cam footage is just another means to help. This helmet cam video is courtesy of Firefighter Brandon Rogers who works at Station 14 on Truck 14 in Kansas City Kansas. You have seen him on the channel playing golf a few times.
In January of 2020 I decided to start a KZbin channel. My mission with this channel and all my social media blitz is to help bring awareness to firefighter issues like PTSD and occupational cancer through the game of golf. PTSD is real in the first responder professions and I hope though all this that I make an impact with at least one person.
My name is Steve Pope and I have been a Firefighter for the Kansas City, Kansas Fire Department for 26 years and the Merriam Fire Department for 1. I am an avid golfer who wants to grow the game of golf with this channel while also bringing awareness to the issues above.
I have a passion for golf and this mission because I have some PTSD issues that have caused problems in my family life as well as everyday coping. If you are a Firefighter, First Responder, Military or just a golfer that wants to play with me please reach out.

Calm and cool I love it! Great job brothers. Omg the guy who threw the ladder on the opposite building in the beginning and then threw the fly on the house fire. His power level is over 9000. Amazing video!

[@soupwifey]

I have PTSD from being burnt in a kitchen 🔥. It's no joke. It's so bad that if I see smoke near my apartment. I go and watch. That's helped me cope along with therapy. Best of luck to you, Steve, and keep up the good work.

[@FirstResponderGolf]

Thanks for the comment. Take care and sorry to hear about your PTS.

[@mikenasa7026]

The fact that there are so many guys on here that dont understand why we vent the roof is alarming lol

[@justinbrendel7357]

Nice work..

[@bm7151]

Too many armchair firefighters here. While i DEFINITELY agree that this couldve been done better, it doesnt deserve all this hate. Yes, he shouldve worn gloves, but that doesnt mean you borderline insult the uploader or the firefighter. They got the job done, and if you really think someones gonna get hurt by doing things like this, get out of the comments section and email KCFD.

[@JOMAR3]

Good Knock

[@ladyrainwing6981]

I’d like to see all these rude commenters try and work this job for a week. Great work stopping the fire, brave job indeed!! Respect to all the firefighters out there

[@Runningwolf1978]

Have a question. When you graduate from the fire academy, who decides if you’re on engine or truck crew? Always wanted to be a firefighter or law enforcement. Unfortunately, got sick with RA. Thank you for posting these videos. Gives me a taste of what I would have been experiencing. Be safe & thank you for what you do.

[@FirstResponderGolf]

Hello Todd. Each department is different but in Kansas City Kansas you rove around to most of the stations your first year+ and then you can find a crew/rig/truck or pumper to go to.

[@RED-LINE910]

What type of camera are you running.. and where did you purchase it from?

[@FirstResponderGolf]

This is my buddies cam footage. Not sure on the type or where he got it

[@L0CKABLE-dr4td]

Probably fire cam

[@irishgaming8061]

I too would love to know. I'd like to add one to my helmet for when we run calls.

[@bshay1993]

Of course. Thanks for posting it

[@fredschneiderjr.3956]

Only one roof ladder? No gloves on or on air while cutting on da roof? Where’s the second roof ladder? Secondary means of egress if it goes to shit? Stay safe out there KCFD!! 🔥

[@FirstResponderGolf]

I agree. This is my buddy's helmet cam footage. I am just using it to try to bring eyes to the channel to my mental health mission

[@MackB12]

@@FirstResponderGolfcool video nonetheless and I respect both of yours hustle. I also noticed that the ladder was not wedged properly, and he never sounded the roof, but it all worked out.

[@fredschneiderjr.3956]

It’s a great perspective from a FF and job we do day in and day out 24 7 365!!!! I was just pointing out some safety concerns and fireground tactics and strategies.

[@Grounded75]

I puckered up big time when I saw he wasn't gloved up! That's going to be a painful lesson! I pray that they all stay safe!

[@bshay1993]

So much wrong with these tactics. :(

[@MoparGuy1625]

Does the EMS crew turn into a FF crew? If not they got theirselves blocked in.

[@FirstResponderGolf]

Yes. There is another standby EMS unit.

[@rodjiseldon8315]

I’m down to golf with you.

[@DW-lw3hg]

Can someone with FF knowledge explain what they are doing when they poke holes in the roof and remove the wood around the burnt out doorways?

[@williamwiley5034]

Checking for extension, smoldering can cause the fire to rekindle

[@stephenkloster1777]

Nice cut guess gloves are out huh and put hook on the ladder when your coming down don't have to throw it in yard just my two cents

[@FirstResponderGolf]

I agree. This is not my helmet cam footage. A buddy of mine is letting me use it to grow the channel mental health awareness mission

[@fatdaddio3796]

The fire was already venting from the attic area, what was the purpose of the roof cut other than to look cool?

[@FirstResponderGolf]

I wasn't on this scene. I don't know. I am just sharing helmet cam footage of a fire buddy to bring awareness to my mental health awareness mission. Thanks for watching.

[@hihfty]

Just because ridge vents and soffit covers have smoke coming out of them does not mean its vented for fire conditions.

[@JB91710]

@@hihfty Did you not see the flames pouring out those windows?

[@Chief21075]

Pretty sure dude man threw a 35 by himself

[@brianrobinson9602]

I am all for ground ladders but you have a ladder truck, why not use that as you main roof access?

[@FirstResponderGolf]

Power lines

@@FirstResponderGolf Yeah, i saw them. Looked like you had enough room to swing under them, but hey I was not on the fireground. Cheers

@@brianrobinson9602 right on. This is my buddies helmet cam footage. I wasn't on the scene either. Lol. I was going by what I heard early on.

[@JB91710]

FOR WHAT? They have no business being on that roof in the first place! Vertical Venting is just about the most ridiculous tactic ever created and even if it did work, there was no need for it here. Boys and their toys!.

[@salc8724]

You’ve got ground ladders placed yet there is a 75,000 pound truck with a larger ladder that could have easily went up too.

[@FirstResponderGolf]

There was a power line situation according to what I heard in the video.

[@njackson3645]

Power lines in the way as you can see in the video and ground ladders are also quicker

[@eriksand9262]

Yeah. Fuck those power lines!

[@fredschneiderjr.3956]

It’s takes a lot of coordination from the truck crew and practice!! This not something we do everyday. Of course , POWER LINES play a key factor in determining placement any ladder on scene!!

[@johneton6143]

That truck prolly 60k not 75k pounds

[@JB91710]

Tank Water should be flowing through one of those windows by the 1:05-1:15 mark. There is absolutely NO REASON to climb up on the main roof of the house. The porch roof? Absolutely, for better access for the introduction of more water into that room. 3:00 Still no water but they are doing everything BUT, eliminate the threat to any victims, entering firefighters and the structure. In other words, completely dropping the ball. They unnecessarily risk their lives on the roof and now have damaged the roof while accomplishing absolutely nothing.

[@FloridaCatholicGuy]

People will pay attention to you when you have been an actual firefighter and not a lazy boy firefighter. No department would even let you near the station.

[@JB91710]

@FloridaCatholicGuy Do you make childish comments like that because you are incapable of discussing something as simple as firefighting? That's sad sunny!

So much time wasted. Perfect deck gun opportunity. 45 seconds with the deck gun and that's 90% out. There's no reason to be on the roof of that house. It's already venting. Way to slow and wasted time, energy..
