GoPro: Ladder 2 First Due Truck for a House Fire

[@dennisnichols7123]

Ladder crew is off the hook. Tillerman was out and ready to battle in less than 30 seconds and got water on the fire with the extinguisher as a first priority. Top notch job guys!

[@JackMacLupus]

Well it might be a small effect, but it surely buyed the other crews some time to get the line out. Thats why i think everyone should know how to use a fire extinguisher. Even when its not enough to extinguish the whole fire, the few minutes it can buy is totally worth it! Especially when the fire department is still on route.

BOOOM! This video should be shown at every fire school in this country when being taught extinguisher training.

[@preposterouspanda1710]

Yeah definitely a good video to show future truckies what not to do. Nothing like wasting your can. It should be saved as a lifeline for victim or firefighter survivability while searching. He wasted it on an exterior portion of the building when the hand-line was right behind him. I know you’re referring to how much fire he was able to knock down with it, but there are definitely some better learning points on this video than that

@@preposterouspanda1710 Size up. It looked like a good amount of fire but was isolated to that corner and appeared to be exterior only - or minimal intrusion. Note the windows right next to the fire were fine. The smoke coming from the eaves was minimal and not pushing. They may have had info prior to or on arrival that it started exterior (part of size up). If a can was needed afterwards there are plenty of others on the scene. If there was no time to grab another, search with the hoseline. My fellow truckies may not like it, but it's better than getting caught in a bad place.

[@UncleFred100]

That’s the mark of a well trained crew. The tiller man operated on his own, grabbing his irons AND a can…went right to the fire and didn’t stop until the engine line was charged and ready…saved some extension and made it an easy knock down. Then he went right to work pushing in, then pulling the ceiling and siding…again, he knew what to do and did it with no prompting. 😳 From what you can see from the cam, he was the most effective guy on the fireground. Like an energizer bunny…really fine work…textbook!👏👌👍

[@Stargazzer811]

Definitely. The guys in Harrisburg know their shit back to front. I'd run with them any day.

[@CanadaMatt]

And some bastard stole his Halligan!

[@parkerelliott8487]

Why does he pull the siding and poke the ceiling?

[@UncleFred100]

⁠Good question. Fire is an insidious beast…it needs food and air to live just like us. And it hides better than any living thing. So even though a fire may look like it’s out, it’s just hiding until it can find more food and air to live and thrive again. So, firefighters have to tear up walls and ceilings until they come to a spot with no burn marks or twinkling embers. People get upset when after a small fire they return to find walls torn out, ceilings pulled down, siding stripped, etc. It must be done to be sure the beast is actually totally dead, for the safety of the tenant and its neighbors. Hope that makes sense!👍😁

[@Stargazzer811]

@@CanadaMatt Nah it was under his can. When he put his can down to put his mask on it was under it. You can see it when he turns back to look but it probably blended in with the can due to them both being silver in color.

Puttin in work with the old Silver Bullet. Works like a charm while waiting on a hoseline. My first ever interior attack of a fire I ended up accomplishing entirely with nothing but a water can. (Much to the surprise of the senior firefighters on scene.) Zero visibility but turned out to be a bed, dresser, and a bunch of clothes were burning pretty good. I ended up getting it put out before the hose even reached us.

There is a station in my town with a Ladder and 2 engines. The Ladder passed me on the return to the station. The street has 2 lanes in each direction. Just as the Ladder passed, it started "crab walking" across the 2 lanes to make a rolling roadblock. Once it stopped, the 2 engines met it from the other direction . They both turn 90 degress, then back into the station, and so does the Ladder. It all took less time than me typing this.

Kudos to that one man fire department he was like a whirlwind. As a retired UK police sergeant who's attended many fires over the years, the one same thing is apparent about US dwelling fires. Most of the properties, however grand, are flimsy shitty built wooden structures that burn rapidly. Here in the UK wooden residential properties are rare most are brick or block so fire spread is much slower.

Serious question from a regular civilian. Do they pull it apart to make sure nothing is smoldering to restart the fire after they leave? Please answer only if you really know why and not if you’re guessing.

[@awv9600]

Re-ignition and call back is a concern. Sometimes the demolition is to make sure the fire hasn't progressed into the wall/ceiling (like this); other times it's to remove smoke and/or heat from the ability or provide means of egress.
