The fact Chief Decker retired is bittersweet. We all lost an amazing asset to our community but he's put in so many years of great service. We should all be proud of Chief Decker. Thank you for all you've done.

Congratulations on your well deserved retirement, Chief! Will be sad to not see any more videos from this wonderfully well run department!

[@chgofdsteve]

Calm authority with clear, simple instructions, use of resources, excellent situational awareness, and district familiarity. Everything a fire chief should be.

[@johnlang150]

Agree to a certain point, always nice to be a couch commentator not knowing the lay-out ETC but NEVER put trucks in a "out of Service" location if the fire spreads trappin the trucks and the FF are DEAD. Hoses, YES hoses are less expensive than a truck ( personnel) and outside the fire you can hit lines with hydrates . like I said I am only arm chair observer DC , not on the outlook of the fire but looks like DC or Chief did well and a good 4 Thumbs up. first truck in HITS the HYDRATE, 500/750 Gallon tank dries out quickly and you can loss control FAST.

[@commandvisionfire]

Thank you.

[@redbaron474]

@@commandvisionfire Odd thing is ladder 3 has the exact same setup on the end as my city's first ever ladder truck in the department's history (we only got it due to then chief Joe Scharfenburg putting serious pressure on the city council to get one). It was also "gung ho Joe" that was the driving force behind our city rebuilding an old 20 foot boat into our city's first fireboat since it's founding.

As always, a great video that truly shows all the work that goes into managing the fireground and keeping people safe while also trying to preserve both life and property. I hope retirement treats you well Chief.

[@vfdchauffer3606]

I see other comments saying your retiring, if so let me say. The Fire Service has lost a tremendous command officer, probably one of the best I have seen. Your demeanor is commendable, your authority is unquestioned indicating trust and respect from your department. Your videos are great, but I most enjoy the structure of your command. Clear concise and correct. Enjoy retirement Chief, you earned it.

Ditto exactly ! Excellent command and demeanor !

Congratulations on your retirement Chief Decker. You have provided countless quality videos, providing excellent examples for how to manage the complexities of the fire ground.

[@549BR]

Be nice if the chief continued with a YT video analyzing fire scenes.

[@jgrandison2004]

Curious what you meant by division 2? To me, that means the second floor, but then you report a fire on the 1st floor. Was the initial view, fire on the second floor or does division 2 mean something else for you?

[@commandvisionfire]

Division 2 is the 2nd floor. Why I first arrived there was fire blowing out of the hood vent on the first floor and fire extending up to the 2nd floor. It had a pretty good headstart on us.

[@mikeevans3221]

Welcome back Chief!!! You were missed. Another great command job. Thank you sir!!!

[@ArchTeryx00]

Let me add one of many well deserved congrats on your retirement, Chief. I learned more from even one of your videos that I did from any dozen others, and that's a testament to how tight a ship you ran. You've truly earned some rest. On the fire: This one looks really unfortunate. From the outside on arrival, there wasn't even smoke visible. It only took a few minutes for it to break out. And quite frankly, if a fire gets away from you and YOUR crew, you know it was hopeless from the beginning. It's probably Captain Obvious to a huge number of your viewers and to yourself. But for sake of any boo birds, fires spread freaking FAST and I have read commercial kitchen fires start hot and quickly become infernos. There's often a lot of grease in commercial kitchens, among many other flammable things, many have a built in gas supply, and once a fire in one gets rolling... the results I've seen are always catastrophic. Nobody would have been fast enough to catch up to a fire like that.

[@robertgildea2841]

I am watching from Elmira NY judging by the radio communications it sounds like a really bad one

[@commandvisionfire]

It kept us pretty busy.

[@jurgenkuhlmann9194]

Always makes me feel sorry for the owner, poor Bummie! Hope he will recover! What is making matters worse again is the material that's almost always used for the construction of non - industrial buildings in the US: wood! So the building itself is the fireload, together with the stuff that's inside! After having watched numerous videos showing Fire Departments responding to non - commercial structure fires, I get the impression that they prefer exterior attacks, with a focus on saving the exposures instead of the fire building itself. And on saving people trapped inside, of course!

[@kartracer5g229]

From a fire showing one division 1 to through the roof in around 6 minutes... it's amazing how fast fire can move in void spaces in different type building constructions.. solid work by your department as always and of course great job commanding the scene .. clear concise and direct commands get the job done with little to no confusion!!

[@ahnbra]

I enjoied people pulling over for you while you were responding full Emergency with the lights nand sirn activated. As soon as I see an Emergency vehicle 3 lr mlre blocks a head and waite if I can. Even if I am in my work vehicle delivering Auto and truck parts.

[@g.r.4853]

I read that over 300 "uninformed individuals' make less than intelligent comments...WHY? Been a VFF over 35 years and have seen a lot of FUBAR events, this is NOT ONE of them! Assuming part one is mostly continuous, Command arrived quickly, assessed the scene and made good decisions. It was apparent to me, he valued his FF more than a fast stop and seemed to be on top of everything! Even pulling people out, the initial stop was good considering it was a (99). Google shows the building no longer exists so experience tells me that ceiling problem turned extensive. Good job, {even for professionals}.

[@jamesleake2121]

Congratulations on your retirement Chief Decker hope you are enjoying it, Thank you for the video looking forward to seeing part 2

Just shows how clear with direct instructions and at the same time of being very fast thinking as situations change that a fire chief must be. I respect every firefighter whom risks their lives every day to save other lives. Thank you again and enjoy your well deserved retirement Sir

[@mikemacdonald1047]

Chief, I have learned a tremendous amount from your excellent videos and strive to be as calm, clear and in control as you are. Your simple, straightforward and short instructions are a model to emulate. As a new chief officer I find your videos to be one of the most valuable learning tools. I understand you may have retired. If so, enjoy and thank you for providing these learning opportunities.

Glad to see the channel back in action Chief! Obviously a lack of videos is a good thing overall for everyone! but I thoroughly enjoy watching the command and control structure put in place! Quick question for you chief, Obviously I'm no firefighter, so I'm curious as to why you didn't go in the front door? The fire is in the back, yes, but would wonder if attacking from the front would prevent the rapid spread of fire. Always love learning about all this! Thanks again Chief!

Thanks for all your help and the time you gave. It must have been 3-5 years ago. I listened to those above me and am doing what I can to help. A lot of the guys don't want to decontaminate/send gear off for cleaning. Doing what I can there. Anyway, cheers and will keep at it! Thanks for everything you do, certainly an inspiration.

Reading the comments just started watching the video so didn't know you retired, congratulations on that 🎉. I'm just a guy from Australia who's enjoying watching your videos over the years, not a firefighter but i did volunteer for our State Emergency Services (SES) for 7 years, mainly we did storm damage (trees and flooding) with the occasional Search & Rescue and base support for Firefighters during bushfires (wildfires). I mostly drove the rescue truck, used chainsaw or was Crew Leader. I'll miss new videos so thanks for the interesting content and training, i still learned things

[@dfgiuy22]

Same, started SES gave it up to race motorbikes then joined the CFS after watching these videos. The Chief is a awesome inspiration to many and I hope he knows how much it has meant to those who don't get paid to do damn near the same thing. Did both the Kangaroo Island Fires and Luncindale/coles where we lost a firefighter to a tree. Don't discount anything you ever did. Even if ya look like a orange road cone :) [joke - i have been myself]

As a Senior line Officer who administers assessment tests to promoting personnel, let me say this was top notch, Just because I am "that tester" I would have only knocked off a little for the fact you called this a straight commercial property, and then said it was half restaurant and half apartments. Maybe that is your local SOP, here would have called it a "mixed use structure, apartment and restaurant" I could follow your radio traffic and assignments with ease. Great job, and congrats on retirement, but makes me sad that might not see many more of these command videos.
