Engine 74-1 house fire with entrapment

[@ronfreniere8769]

Having been a volunteer firefighter, I well know what it feels like when you hear about entrapment of a resident. One day our tones hit for a house fire and children trapped inside, from where I lived I would have had to drive by the fire to get the firetruck. That I knew others would bring so I went to the fire and there were two young children in the first floor living room and the fire was burning on the 2nd floor. So I ran into the living room and grabbed one kid under each arm and ran back outside. Thank you to all firefighters everywhere for protecting the citizens of your coverage area

You had a long distance to travel to get there great work by everyone stay safe 🙏

Thank you for your service to this community! Please be careful and stay safe!

Pretty cool. Saved a resident, but lost the Watermelon. Never mind, even Ladder 87's driver missed the melon. In this case, in rural PA, this was most likely a problem of manpower and training, I am guessing these are likely volunteer departments. Clearly this house was pretty much gone before anyone got there. That they got someone out alive is pretty darn good work, no mater how long it took. From my view as someone who finished riding a while back, VES is a fairly new concept and I don't have a lot of confidence in the rescue being called VES without knowing more about the training of the person calling it that. From someone who has - you haven't lived until you have had a burning ceiling fall on you.

Good job fellow's yall got the trapped person out good job and God Bless

VES by a crew that arrives at 15 minutes into a fire? Not sure thats how that works. What were the first crews doing all of that time?

[@arcamean785]

Damn so many "Armchair Firemen" in the comments.

[@davebrown7467]

I personally would've been using the welp as much as possible, I think that's the most effective until approaching intersections then the Q along with the Airhorn yes

long haul dam!!!

[@tlralston]

Nice save for mutual aide companies with Delmar arriving on scene after a 9 minute response. Horrible placement for the truck - both times. The entirety of 2nd Street on the D-side of residence was open for the truck just come down the opposite way and position facing Delmar’s Engine. Instead they came in behind Engine 71 and are to far away to reach anything with the ladder. To reposition they choose to squeeze by Engine 71 and shoehorn themselves into the middle of the intersection. Granted they are now on the A/D corner and can reach two sides of the structure but that is reach is compromised by all the wires. The D-side off 2nd Street was wide open and all they needed to do was go around the block.

Generally I hate it when people Monday morning QB the efforts of crews doing the best they ca but in this case it seemed as if it was a complete shitshow.

[@Gregwing]

Please, Please get your foot off that Q. Learn to properly use the siren to be the most effective in clearing traffic and getting everyones attention. Standing on the Q like you were accomplishes nothing except excessive wear on the motor. No other siren in the world stays at a stead pitch fro good resason, to get people's attention. In addition, hearing loss starts at the higher levels where the Q is at when you keep it pegged like that.

[@TruculentBastard]

Amen, I've commented on this before. They'll never learn.

[@roofgoof132]

But then how do we make "cool" videos?!?

Who’s the guy at 13:50 in the yellow T-shirt and shorts, no turnout gear, SCBA, or anything identifying him as a firefighter, moving that supply line around and directing Ladder 87 into position?

[@moemcgovern7345]

Beautiful area!

Alot of firefighter not wearing scba and gear on fire calls I think they are afraid to go in

[@johngoglia-gh7ql]

Notice he hits Q Going pas homes. Ppl backing out might not see him.rural area

[@Lovejoyrat2]

I’m assuming in this rural area this would be mostly volunteer? Just seems like a lot of lack of manpower plus a guy running up in his truck in shorts to try to help respond. Anyone who runs balls out into a fire and manages a rescue from this scene certainly tried their best with probably under trained guys. I mean look at ladder 87s guy doing his own positioning then waltzing up there without basic 3 point contact shows how undertrained. There’s a lot of hateraide on this vid. Sheesh. I’m sure the victim they rescued is grateful even if the scene was a shitshow.

[@hvfd5956]

Because of the extended burn time and unknown equipment on scene time, we have no way of knowing how many crew members were on scene, when. IF you are going to do VES, crew safety is number one - you don't do it unless you have the right number of trained people available. Otherwise you are being unsafe. I can't tell why this fire was allowed to extend to where it was when Engine 74-1 arrived, but that is all the data we have in this video. At this advanced state, VES is probably the right answer. Get in, control the flow path, rescue and get the heck out of dodge. I was a volunteer in Houston 76-81. Because of the excellent training I had and a chief who had a sense of humor, I still feel confident in my training even today, decades later. Kind of related to what I said above - You haven't lived... until you have spent over 30 minutes sitting on a rolled up 2 1/2 that is leaking and making a puddle, until the power company guy comes up and asks you if the lines down next to your puddle are off!! They were not! But he made them safe. I still decided it was time to take a break. It turned out the room I was trying to flood had it's ceiling down and all the water I sent in the window was flowing down the ceiling and into the hall. But no one told me. Sadly we lost a lot of cats and dogs that night due to electric water. U-shaped 12-plex that broke the rules and had multiple power feeds. We were second engine in and layed a pair of 2 1/2's. This was before LDH. Dispatch kept trying to get us an address, but no one calling lived in the area and knew the numbers. After several minutes of trying, they dispatched Engine 3 and Engine 28 (my company) on a check for fire. Yep it was burning alright. This fire went to 3 alarms. Oh, and we caught another cooker on the way back to the station, so that was a true all-nighter.

[@itrysrsly1826]

Take it easy yard breather! The real ones got there, got a grab, reset the fire, and had several lines on the ground before we ever saw the involved structure. Feel free to post something from your lid the next time you have a working fire, or just stfu. If you cant be constructive, just worry about your own lack of experience since you couldnt observe any of that.
