Fire Consumes A House And Multiple Pets In New Chicago

Get the best fire fighting DVD Video's @ www.mabas21.com
Crews were dispatched to a reported house fire in the 3100 block of Pulaski in New Chicago, Lake Station 1 and 2 were also dispatched. On arrival heavy fire was blowing from most of the house and unfortunately two cats and a dog perished in the fire. Crews made a quick knock using two lines. One baby and an adult were treated on the scene for smoke inhalation. Investigators were working on cause and origin. Great job done by all!

[@SuperMarbelle]

To the guy with the water hose, least one person has not succumed to the " learned helplessness " syndrome. No matter that it wasn't a huge hose, you were doing something. It really counts for a lot.

[@bodgaard]

Probably kept the house next door from catching fire……

The poor pets. :( I can imagine the panic and pain they went through, oh my heart.

Unfortunately, I can. :( It's absolutely terrible, especially since pets are very helpless when it comes to situations like this. I lost my little kitty last year, & it hurt. A lot.

[@moemcgovern7345]

I lost mine last year. Yes, it still really hurts. She was my Angel.

[@maverik5753]

If you don't believe in God, don't read on. Our shed caught fire at 3am in the morning, if it wasn't for our neighbours the fire would have spread and killed us all. They knocked on our door to tell us our shed was on fire. Thats the 1st thing God did to help us. Our shed was burning up in flames and we had so many memories and precious things we've lost. The 2nd thing that God did to help was, I prayed to him to send help. He did, he sent rain... A couple of days after, we were looking for things that had survived. The last thing he did was save a little wooden nativity scene.. No scratches or burn marks, what so ever.. Nothing! And when wood collides with fire, you know what happens. My mum and I believed God helped us that night. All our memories may be gone, but we are all ok.

[@franksquicciarini1156]

Now now people....please do tell me how every call always goes perfect....these guys showed up and knocked down the beast and did it quickly....good job!!

[@danielrigney2402]

The idea frank is to get every call as close to perfect as possible to minimize risk and hazards. Instead by skipping and ignoring quite a few roles and precautions they increased the risk of danger or hazard. Not exactly a good practice. The practice should be professionalism.

[@franksquicciarini1156]

I agree with you there. Just simply stating, nothing goes perfect every time and they did a good job regardless.

[@adelefarough5123]

What I would like to know is this: how is it that they got this fire out so very quickly? Or was this edited? Some fires seem to take ages. I'm not criticizing here. I am a civilian, and I honestly don't know. So if you're going to give me some smart arse remark, keep it to yourself.

[@gliderydin2911]

@@adelefarough5123 it all depends on variables. For example that would in my area be considered a room and contents fire (1-2 rooms with contents burning ie.furniture) the ones you refer to as taking forever would most likely be for 1 of 2 reasons a bad dept or assumed structural damage that would prevent guy and gals from going interior to put it out post hast. In the event of exterior only fire fighting your basically going to burn it to the ground

[@brucekulickfan4206]

To all commenting about the guy with the garden hose........ if it was your house, you'd be doing the same thing. Don't say you wouldn't.

[@lookoutman1970]

I wouldn't because I know it doesn't help. Too small of a hose with not nearly enough water pressure.

[@CoTreyLoZ]

@@lookoutman1970 It didn't need a lot of pressure. Just enough to keep the house wet until fd arrived.

[@nmolina39]

Why to fight the fire. I don't care who you are or what your rank is. Always wear your SCBA!!

[@mikespenser4013]

sadly some volunteer depts don't have an operating budget and the cost of the SCBA have to be born by the individual volunteer FF and some can't afford them. Denis Leary has a charity that provides grant money for departments to purchase turnouts and SCBA gear. Some professional depts will donate their older gear to volunteer dept's when they upgrade.

[@jadendeyoung4151]

The guy with the hose in the beginning is like "I got this shit".

[@johnjesus971]

Scott Steiner Looks to me he was just spraying his house, hoping it wouldn't catch his house on fire

[@adelefarough5123]

John Jesus: well, at least you tried.

[@mabas21]

@16raccoon When a firefighter is still for too long the device activates making that sound, all they have to do is shake it or jump up and down to silence it. It is called a pass device. You are right though

[@joemac356]

Yeah, you have to wonder at the guy with the mask and no pack... And the guy with the garden hose did well. 3 or 4 gpm is still better than 0. At least he got some water on the fire and protected the next house from the radiant heat.

[@reidgloden]

How devastating!!!! I would have been heartbroken if it had been my home.

[@flairball]

These guys did a pretty decent job. Yes, there are other tactic they could have used, and yes, they could have been more aggressive, but they still made short work of this fire.

[@MorbidConfessions]

I had to stop watching for a moment because of that. I lost my kitty in a house fire last year. No one was home at the time of the fire, & it spread too quickly, & the smoke got real thick & filled the house so quickly that no one could help him. To see this, it really makes me sad, & it's gut-wrenching to picture even one poor family pet who didn't make it out. :(

[@moemcgovern7345]

We know when cats get scared....they hide, usually under furniture. Firefighters try very hard to get, all life out of the dwellings. Here's a nice thought. My cat saved my life. I can't begin to tell you; how much I miss her.

[@moemcgovern7345]

This house is totaled.

[@joemac356]

@natespapa09 After nearly 44 years in the fire service, I think I know what kind of energy that fire had going. As I said, a few gpm is better than none. I once contained an involved garage fire with a garden hose. The next-door neighbour came over with his and we had it nearly knocked down by the time the first response arrived. So don't tell me a garden hose won't do anything. Yeah, it's not as effective as a 2.5 inch @180 gpm...

[@zach071591]

@bozerabc123 He did. He was protecting the next structure from fire exposure...

[@matthewgraham3503]

[@Greg_P611]

[@stevenvillane2159]

Great job to the guy with the garden hose!! He actually saved the house to the left of the burning structure. GREAT thinking on his part. A garden hose still works well while the FD responds. Every Little bit Helps!

[@vasthekiller]

+Steven Villane I dont think that hose saved the house, its just that the heat was not hot enough to ignite the surounding structures. His hose was like pissing on the fire. Dit nothing he was just lucky is all.

[@yosefmacgruber1920]

+E Vass A wetted surface is harder to heat up, if the heat source is far enough away. Heat causes faster water evaporation, which produces a cooling effect. You wouldn't expect your pan of water on the stove, to get very hot, if it sits on a different burner than the one that is putting out the heat.

[@yosefmacgruber1920]

***** Somehow, I imagine in the future, when firefighters are robots, I imagine they wouldn't be walking around for 5 minutes, trying to figure out if they should turn on some water. And if we had self-drive flying cars (and trucks), it wouldn't take 10 minutes for the firefighters to even arrive. Also, since robots do not get tired, I doubt that robots would randomly spray water as if their arms are getting tired, but would constantly calculate the optimal spread patterns, and have most fires knocked down in no time. Maybe it would be good if more truck-mounted spray cannons, were operated by a joystick. Also, can't anybody invent a cheap building material, more heat and rot resistant than wood? At least brick doesn't have to be painted, but brick isn't of much use other than for vertical walls, due to its weight and certain structural weaknesses. According to Star Trek, fires are quickly stopped on spaceships, by surrounding the area with a force field, to stop air from getting to the fire, so that it soon smothers upon itself. Any practicality to such sci-fi ideas? A household maid robot, perhaps might also be programmed how to fight a small fire. And might have scent-sniffers, to detect smoke or strange odors, to which it could go investigate.

[@davidglaum2538]

Steven Villane At least he tries to help didn’t just stand and watch. Yes the garden hose is not going to put the fire out but it didn’t make it get bigger. I would have done the same thing having had fire fighting experience.

[@CoTreyLoZ]

@@yosefmacgruber1920 Wth? Are you actually being serious with all that nonsense? In case you are unaware...THIS AIN'T STAR TREK or anywhere close to it. Ever been told you watch too much tv?

[@ffjsb]

@theycallmedwayne I think he was trying to wet down the house next door, not fight the fire. Which in this case is not a bad idea, the heat kept him far enough away from the house that he wasn't going to get burned.

[@nebraskaninkansas347]

I know some have commented about the lights on the first due engine. There could have been a malfunction or electeic problem while enroute. The driver may have thought he activated them but didn't. Hell as a police officer I've had lights malfunction despute testing them before starting my shift. I even forgot to rurn them off after a stop, realized it after a vehicle stopped for me when I was at a stop sign. Humans error,its in out nature.

[@qwaynick]

Nice stop considering the fire load. Those old houses really hold up to big fire. Had that been newer construction it would have gone to the ground before they got there.

[@Byrd968]

I woke up and my house was on fire. I made it out but my dog did not. I used to always say "when I have a fire I will do this". But when I woke up and I felt the heat I didn't know what to do. The fire pushed into my bedroom as soon as I opened the door. I crawled out and down the hall but fell down the stair well into the basement and broke my ankle. I crawled back out of the basement and through the main house. It was indescribable. After I got out and had air I tried to go back. but.

[@zachlundy3504]

I'm sure it's happened to every fire department across the United States that they will forget to turn on the lights on the truck. Its happened where I live before, I mean its not hard to forget the lights if that siren is running. Some times you can't see the lights if the sun is shinning right onto the truck or something like that. Nice job though.

[@xaq504]

Horrible, HORRIBLE apparatus positioning. Jesus, guys.

[@TheWaynelds]

@chevelle396guy he's protecting his house from heat. When houses are built close together, heat from the fire can transfer and ignite surrounding structures. Hes using his garden hose to cool the side of his house from the radiated high heat.

[@mrgee25]

All the negative comments were uncalled for from so called firefighters!!! The main point is that the fire was put out and people were safe!!! We pray for the family that they may find comfort in God and friends and loved ones!!!! This is supposed to be a brotherhood of caring people!! I will pray for those who are negative about this!!!!

about a minute and half they knocked the down good job and the guy with the garden hose

[@n2jve1989]

Nice to see the Firefighter Masked up and ready to go when he jumped out of the truck. Great knockdown guys. Time is everything as we seen by being ready as soon as they jumped out of the truck and making a quick attack. Other Dept's should watch this and use this as a Trainning video on what to do when you get on the scene. This should be SOP for all Dept's but what I have seen on KZbin , it's just the case. To much time is wasted getting ready. When I was Trainning Officer for a Volunteer Dept., I stressed the importance of being ready as soon as you stepped off the truck and discuss a plan on the way to the scene on who is going to do what job instead of running around trying to figure out what to do. Great job to the New Chicago VFD and to the Trainning Officer for a Professional job for a Volunteer Dept . Thank you Brothers!! Mike Past 2nd Asst. Chief

How embarrassing this video must be for this fire department.

[@mabas21]

You know everyone wants to talk shit, these guys were faced with a fully involved house, mind you this is the 3rd working fire that I know of in 3 years and they had it knocked in 10 minutes without incident. You guys want to bitch about the siren and a chief applying water. Maybe because he was there with 3-4 other firefighters. Although he is a chief he is still a firefighter and look at that.... HE WAS FIGHTING FIRE! KZbin QB's are something else

[@FloridaCatholicGuy]

Sad about the pets but great job by the volunteer FD. They got water on the fire quickly and knocked it down fast.

[@mabas21]

@Chuthermucker Just to let you and everyone else know, the residents were not home when the fire started. It is very unfortunate, the animals could not get out. So it wasn't the homeowners fault. I can't imagine how they felt....

[@ChiefChuck100]

It amazes me how many people have no idea how to help on a fire scene before we get there. The man with the garden hose did a great job of keeping these guys from fighting two house fires instead of one. Had he tried to put out the house fire like most idiots I see when we pull up. One he might be burned. Two it's like pissing on a bonfire it dosent work. The driver of the first engine needs to turn on his lights in the bay you can see there on Dude. No biggie.I've done it too LOL. You got there

[@Right4Reach]

As an American career firefighter who has traveled to other countries and met with extremely professional career firefighters "over there" who catch a LOT of fire, I can tell you that watching this video makes me so EMBARRASSED for the American fire service. MegaChasse, your spot on. Sgttweeter you may not like what MegaChasse says but if you are defending the incredibly unprofessional response seen in this video, I would guess you are no better than the clowns in this video. Pa-THETIC!

[@FFbailey655]

I have major concerns about the video, 1 apon arrival the truck had no lights on witch created a hazard getting there, 2, No command in place as i can tell,3 Chief grade officer doing work that his line officers or firefighters should be doing4, No SCBA on the cheif officer, 5 had firefighter in the hot zone with no SCBA, 6 pass alarm going off no one seems to be finding out why an making sure all is ok, 7 didnt notice till i seen it on the Chief grade office hat that accountability in place

[@HAZWIZ]

Sad to see the faces of these Firefighters while their still alive sucking back all those fumes. We know better than that guys. Get with the times and wear your SCBA especially during overhaul!! Just wearing a facepiece with no air?? Chiefs manning a hose line with no SCBA?? Chief is in Command do your job and keep your guys safe while "Commanding" and atleast lead by good example if you plan on doing tasks. NOT exceptable anymore guys. Stay Safe.

[@chefedegaru]

@runawaybunny79 Seeing as he isn't in full uniform of any kind, and has a beer belly. I'm willing to bet that he isn't a professional firefighter like yourself. Firefighters still have to meet some kind of physical conditioning requirements don't they? So he may in fact be trying to put out the fire or stop it from advancing any further until the pros get there. But you're obviously of the opinion that nonfirefighters cant possibly have insight into your field so you'll just disregard this.

[@swollentiki]

@mabas21 The chief applying water isn't that bad, but he should be scene commander watching over the fire ground operations making sure everything is done properly like WEARING AN SCBA!!! Like other commenters, he needs to lead by example. Fire isn't the only thing that kills firefighters. Breathing all that toxic air isn't good for you and what would have happened if the structure collapsed while they were standing in there? As a volunteer firefighter myself, not wearing proper PPE is a no no.

[@petethaheat]

Some of you guy's are funny. So, if they did forget to turn on the lights, at least they had the siren on. They still have to abide by driving laws. Yeah, they should have had on SCBA's, but maybe they were a little complacent not planning on going in thmselves. I've been in many a fire, and believe me, even the best do wrong sometime! This film could be critiqued by them to learn. We all need that! Good job knocking down the fire

[@bk66661]

Um this is to wiccanman2012 if you think this is by the book when the two nozzle firefighters are not wearing SCBA and the other three are wearing full SCBA backing them up. That is not text book. White helmet on the nozzle no SCBA. HELLO?????? Safety????????. Good decision on a defensive knockdown. Very poor PPE tactics

[@swollentiki]

@mabas21 or push the button to silence the PASS device. The video shows another problem, the PASS device is going off and no one seems concerned. That is why you don't let PASS devices go off unless there is an emergency. FF get used to the noise and just think someone left their SCBA on and one of these days it will be a fellow FF down and no one will respond.

[@Duality306]

Seems everyone can talk big and bad about these guys doing their job...There is NO SUCH THING as a routine fire...Every situation is different....If you have NEVER been on a true working fire you would not know this....We risk our lives every day...Leave the firefighting to those who know what they are doing....so Shut Up or get off the sofa and do something....

[@mhartzell09]

Lights are run off the battery but the truck is running therefore the alternator is always charging the battery wasting nothing. Also the lights should remain on for safety reasons so the general public knows to steer clear and stay out of the way. Are you on a fire dept?

[@jacksonfire1238]

okay first off i love the guy with the garden hose. two anything that has a heart beat should be first out1 no matter what, then personal belongigns can go. third what the fuck is up with the fire dept showing up with no lights on, and keeps the siren going dumbass on the HEO's part.

@AmDrag5 I love pets, but I am not risking my life to save a dog, cat, hamster, etc. There are plenty of them in the world. I am saving my child, wife and self. If the dog happens to follow me out great, otherwise we'll deal with it.

[@Ghstwn]

@fireaxeco1 They showed up. That's what counts. The lights have an on /off switch you know. Who needs lights 50 yards from the fire? If your house was burning I doubt you would send them away for not running the siren and lights upon arrival. LOL!

[@u4ia420]

Hate to arm chair this one but you are right.. The engine not laying in is no biggie because if you notice (2:08) they parked on a hydrant. The lack of SCBA use is inexcusable. Love the face piece but no SCBA,..

[@HughsPondVFD]

Besides the lights, The only major thing that I see wrong here. Where is the airpacks? White helmet can't even be seen through the smoke. Come on sir, your the leader, train you guys the importance of CLEAN AIR.

[@htmldesigner]

Agreed..you never go into the IDLH without full PPE protecting your ass it's just common sense not to mention part of firefighter training..at least where I'm from it is. But they did do a good defensive knockdown of the fire.

As a member of a paid department why did the guy in the front seat jump out wearing a face piece without a mask, then gives up the nozzle later on. Guy with the garden hose had a better push. Sry about the dog

Nothing beats jumping off the rig for a house fire and leaving your SCBA in the seat. I also love sticking my face into a window with nothing but smoke and heat pouring out. It's like a cancer-face scrub. Feels great!

[@mythril4]

Really? Seriously? It's a house fire, looks like other house fires, what makes this house fire so different that it's disrespectful? If anything it's more respectful as it keeps people aware of what could be if they are not careful with their homes. Things like leaving certain electrical objects on, being shotty with their home wiring, forgetting the stove, leaving the smoldering cigarette, leaving outlets uncovered on not replaced when broken, things like that.
