Fully Involved OUT OF CONTROL Structure Fire! Where's The Water?? | Jason Asselin

[@rapman5363]

I just love listening to the bystanders that get picked up on the microphone at these types of events. Everyone has an opinion of how it started, how the firefighters should fight the fire and what they should do when they arrive. It’s comical. I’m extremely sorry for the families affected by this tragedy.

[@daemonwhitebeard6590]

What you are talking about is called "Armchair Quarterbacking" in my circle. It is easy to do standing on the sidelines or while sitting in front of a TV or Computer Screen. Did not see ANY of them rushing in to help. My response to them is to tell them to STFDSTFU unless they are willing to do the job FOR those actually trained for that purpose. There are Clowns in every crowd who THINK they can do a better job than the trained Professionals.

[@richardpotter712]

In the UK that would be a "late call", the fire had been burning for sometime before the fire service arrived on scene. I think the Ffs did a good job containing the fire, helped by a good hydrant pressure. A fire doubles in size for every minute that it burns, so a quick response by the public in calling the fire service, helps the fire service to help you. Nice work.

I can understand things taking a little more time for departments outside the cities, but isn't it normal to get inside a house (after the exterior flames have been knocked down) to stop the fire spreading from the roof/attic and or walls and destroying the whole house?? As much smoke that was pouring out of the eaves of that house on the right it seems obvious that the interior roof/attic space was involved at least moderately and quickly escalated and burned right through making a good size hole in the rooftop. Why wouldn't they have gone in?

..actually black smoke is signs of incomplete combustion… more than enough heat and fuel to support combustion without enough oxygen to completely burn… gives black smoke….

Deck guns and hose streams work wonders if they are hitting the seat of the fire not spraying through smoke and until the fire broke through the roof on the two story it was an absolute waste to direct the deck gun onto it... they are designed to keep water out when they are still whole. I agree that efforts should have been made to use the deck gun on the garage and focus hand lines onto both exposure houses. Granted we can only see one angle and it’s the one opposite of where most of the engines park so we have no idea what was going on in the front. Everyone is criticizing or questioning why they didn’t see firefighters going inside (I’d hope they were), but the simple answer is they would make entry through the front door not take extra time to stretch a line to the back so it can be filmed. I do agree with the commenters that it took way too long to get lines to the C side (rear of the house) and when they did make it back there the firefighters were focused on the garage fire and not paying enough attention to the exposure house. I’m not a huge fan of assigning a division C officer on most fires but this one could have used someone back there to direct actions.

[@jmiller154]

You're trying hard to make yourself sound like you know what your talking about but you obviously don't know shit.

@@jasonasselinI enjoy all your videos. Fire, train, snow sport's and motorcycles. Thanks.

[@Speeddemon3]

Great camera work and narration!

[@AnnaMorris411]

Slow wispy grey smoke is starving of oxygen and has a chance of being extinguished from the inside, but can still be quite hot. The blacker the smoke, the more oxygen, it’s VERY HOT! When black smoke is rolling, the structure is a loss. Protect exposed neighboring structures, (defensive position). When black smoke turns white, the fire is dying. Must be an all volunteer department?

[@tomaszgawrys1625]

i am glad they saved other two homes . Good job fd.

[@thatoneguy592]

For the limited resources they had they did a damn good job!!

[@jmiller154]

grossly under resourced incident. Spectacular job done by these ff's considering the circumstances.

[@chiefrich1804]

Yes the UP of Michigan does not have a lot of resources simply because its sparsely populated.

[@brianfochler3677]

Thanks for the video. You did a good job filming. From Prince George BC Canada

[@brucewayne7970]

Well hopefully they had homeowners insurance or rental insurance if they were renting

[@mikelissandrello7655]

Unfortunately the two story house suffered more damage because of its own highly flammable vinyl siding.

[@richardyork9495]

Well,I wouldn’t necessarily say vinyl sidling is “ highly” flammable. Gasoline is “highly” flammable, vinyl siding just burns.

I'm the type of person that would grab a hose and try to put the fire out at the neighbors house.

[@BrodeyDoverosx]

Gary Rosie that was a defensive fire, no point hustling when you don’t need to save anyone. Hustling = injuries. Also, I’d join the backyard brigade.

[@wiretamer5710]

I respect your attitude, but I doubt your could get near enough to hit the fire with a garden hose. Radiant heat is a huge deal! If you had been on the spot before the garage fire got out of hand, then YES. You could have made a world of difference.

[@Ifwpeaches]

Yeah ssme

[@connorwright7685]

the hoses in the rear and sides of the engines are stacked neatly in a sequence called overlays because when we arrive on scene we need to have the hoses hooked to the pumps and the hydrants and charged in 5 minutes.

I feel bad for whoever lives here, but it’s incredible what fire can do. It almost has a natural beauty to it, like it’s saying “I know this is scary, but it’s restarting time.”

[@1711chiefbob]

If the FD had vented the roof of the house, there would have a lot less damage to the house or it's contents. Why did they not put up any ladder or call for an aireral units?

[@jasonasselin]

One ladder truck the Iron Mountain Fire Dept has but they JUST got it and haven't finished training.

[@1711chiefbob]

Jason Asselin thanks for the reply.

[@MaxZomboni]

Robert Williams The fire vented itself at 41:33. Putting fire fighters on the roof, would have just unnecessarily endangered the firefighter's lives. They could have fallen through or off the roof, which in either cases could have been fatal. BTW I do understand that roof ventilation is standard operating procedure for many American Fire Departments, but it shouldn't be. If the fire is really that hot, the roof wont last long anyway. So risking firefighters lives to vent it is pointless.

[@dellawilliams3489]

You did a great job shooting this

[@christopherscottb]

Aw, cripes, that quite a fire those Yoopers have to deal with.

[@SledgeHammer43]

Word of healthy advice see those powerlines going to the house corner by the fire. The fire will burn through those lines and the lines will come in your direction.

[@simonedmonds489]

Look at the smoke in the part he was driving ,it looked like a forest fire

[@michaellangdon5463]

Not one firefighter go into the sliding glass door that you can see, to put out any fire that would be inside. No roof ventilation on this house, That is definitely means no one inside the house when flames go through the roof.

[@samstanfield2634]

Half the comments saying the FD did a fantastic perfect job, the other half saying it was the worst firefighting they’d ever seen. I have no idea either way but how can people disagree so much

[@jasonasselin]

I agree there. lol

[@mxslick50]

Because 99.99% of those saying it was a bad job are either NOT firefighters, or are bitter old trolls who have nothing better to do. (That troll part applies to some FF's also....the rare exception would be the ones who actually take the time to EXPLAIN what they see done wrong. ANY FF who just drops comments like "Terrible job, that's not how we'd do it in my department" is either a troll with no REAL answers, or a liar about being a FF. )

[@jmiller154]

educated vs uneducated. There was only one fire engine there for the first 25 minutes with maybe 4 firefighters on it; that is nowhere near enough resources to properly action this incident. Standards would be a minimum 15 ff's there within 9 minutes, I would argue more as exposures are ignited on arrival. Under resourced rural firefighters have an incredibly tough job.

[@stephenwallace5399]

The one that say they did a bad job. Probably were firefighters at some point in their life

[@jamesaddie4895]

Sam Stanfield It's because none of them fight fires for a living, hence they don't know $hit
