[@e7walnut365]

Although formal classes are a good starting point, nothing ever takes the place of common sense. Speaking only as an Engine chauffeur, learn your street and hydrant locations, take a course in Emergency Vehicle Operation, learn the laws in your State as they pertain to the rights of emergency vehicles, learn everything you can about pumps, work hard to develop and maintain a positive attitude in everything you do. I was fortunate to have been stationed in two busy companies during my career, most notably the house I retired from............. think I even emptied a couple of the City's reservoirs over the years. Good luck in your endeavors my friend, but most of all, "Stay Safe".

Ballon Frame structure if you get an electrical fire say in the basement call the fire department ASAP once these things get going forget about it I’ve seen it happen plenty of times

[@Wheel_Horse]

Thing about balloon framing... the building codes in Neptune (and most other shore area towns that I'm aware of) require that fire blocking be installed when a home is remodeled, as it appears that one has been. It MAY have just been an exterior facelift though. Yeah, each wall cavity becomes a chimney, basement to attic.

[@wilsjane]

@@Wheel_Horse Here in the UK, building regulations have not allowed hollow walls to run between floor levels for more than 150 years. They are not allowed at all in basements and are sealed off at the top floor ceiling level. The separation has a minimum one hour fire rating. As a result, with no airflow fire rarely spreads and without air, most electrical fires burn themselves out. Evidence of these small fires is often only discovered when the wiring has to be replaced.

[@ritirons2726]

So why didn’t they spot that tower ladder in a position that it could be used on arrival? I know everyone has their opinion on vertical ventilation, but if the decision to do it is made, why not do it as safely as possible? That is a steep roof and a long way to the ground.

[@theroachden6195]

Looks like too many power lines

[@tomsreviews238]

It would be dangerous to climb on a roof like that if there was no fire at all. That situation looked like an extreme disaster about to happen.

2:34, did he just say "Have the fucking crew go to the basement"????? Balloon frames are a bitch, and they had almost no good way to get a ladder up there. Incredible job to get up there to vent, and you could tell they were fighting it hard from the inside.

[@mariebelladonna437]

I thought he said "The fucking frame goes to the basement!" (And then maybe "Can't believe this!" In a 'fuck me' sort of way?) There are others in the comments talking about balloon frame houses (which I had never heard of, so I learned a new thing today lol) and how they're harder to fight fires in, so that makes what I thought he said make sense.

[@mackflickerson6722]

Just a bunch of comments from people who have never pushed on a fire in a balloon framer attic. These tactics were impressive by any standard. Roof ops under extreme circumstances, aerials kept out by front-fed utilities. Interior attack. You haven’t fought fire until you’ve chased it through kneewalls on the third floor of a hundred year old framer. And YES, the roof work makes all the difference when you’re taking that beating on the steps. That dude cutting the roof can ride on my step position any day.

Balloon frame ?

[@Nervegas]

Its an older type of construction that has a void space between the wall studs that runs vertically from the basement to the attic. When fire and heat get into that void on a lower floor it will quickly run up that space to the attic.

[@hihfty]

yes balloon frame

[@chosenone1004]

Balloon Frame construction is a FF killer . These type of jobs have to be handled different . This is when you need a IC with serious experience . Glad everyone’s ok

[@bobbys1984]

This is a normal routine job. Balloon frame is the most common dwellings in most older cities. The problems with balloon frame fires wasn’t even an issue here; where the fires start off in the basement and run up void space to the attic.

[@hihfty]

You just said balloon frame fire wasnt the problem and then described exactly why this was a balloon frame fire. Crews said the fire was running through the walls from the basement and making it to the attic. Thus a balloon frame fire. Hard for even well staffed city crews to get a head of.

[@DJgofukyurself]

@@bobbys1984 are you dumb? They are literally screaming from the top floor to check the basement. Classic balloon frame fire. Starts low, skips floors, then jumps out high. Do everyone a favor and just stay home, you’re a liability

[@jerseyshorefireresponse]

Correct meaning the fire runs the walls and usually leads to attic space and passes floors in the way up. Fire on the top & bottom. Nightmare they got a good knock on the fire once they were able to access it. Great work by all.

[@chosenone1004]

@@bobbys1984 I wouldn’t necessarily say dealing with a balloon Frame job is routine . As we know Fire has the ability to jump all over the place . Right when you think you have it cut off and can finally get a knock on it you’ll start seeing it show up in a completely different area . Especially if the fire starts in the basement / lower levels . It’s very easy to lose control. Shit Just the integrity alone on BF construction is terrible without any fire . Those home become so weak over time naturally especially the joints where the floor meets those exterior walls . Screw it , if you start losing it have a couple truck companies start banging a couple piercing nozzles through the exterior walls 🤷🏻‍♂️ Either way my point was these type of fires are one of the most dangerous FF’s deal with without question . Very dangerous even if you are use to dealing with this type of construction . Stay safe everyone

[@Hebe73]

Watching mostly firefighter vids from my home country the Netherlands, I am always amazed that US firefighters rarely use their respirators, why is that? The fumes will damage your lungs, not just hot air. Dutch firefighters will always put respirators on when close to the fire, even while being outside.

I grew up in a house with balloon walls you could walk behind the walls. Houses would burn to the ground after initial blaze controlled. They introduced foam I believe at that time. I am no fire fighter confirm if this is true

[@jerseyshorefireresponse]

yes causes for very fast and rapid fire spread! old style.

[@bobbys1984]

You don’t use foam on balloon frame. Gaining access to the attic and pouring water down the void spaces is the right approach…. If the fire hasn’t already gotten away from you.

[@DJgofukyurself]

Foam is literally useless on a class A fire. Go in and put the fire out. Thats it. You restrict yourself with foam on a class A, meaning anyone that doesn’t have it, just washes it away

Opening the roof in balloon construction and then letting fire free burn is just insane A 4 man crew work quick and hard putting water on that would have dropped fire spread by 90% The guys on the roof at 7:00+ are just risking their lives. No reason to be up there.. OMG this is painful

[@wilsjane]

@@luicalibre6665 It is ridiculous. Here in the UK every truck work together as a team to do a particular job and everyone has a specific role. Despite all the standing around, in 1988, 82 American firefighters lost their lives while fighting fires. The UK figure for the same period was zero. I largely blame the US architects who deign the death-traps for the loss of life, of both firefighters and the buildings occupants.

Old tactics deployed which don’t consider the risk to the firefighters re the roof access. Really what were they trying to achieve with a well developed fire under them ? Smashing it down from the ground with hose lines to take the sting out of it was the obvious choice ….. do we really think that more property will be saved by venting and interior attack ?

I’m from Boston and in my 50 years of going to dozens of fires in dwellings like this, BFD has them under control in far better time. Boston’s District Fire Chiefs are highly qualified and experienced with such fires and the fire crews as well. From what I see, this fire could have been knocked down a lot faster if the chief was on the ball. It’s his responsibility to command and assign companies to accomplish the most in the shortest time. Way too long to get ladders in operation. Lives and property are at stake. That’s the difference between an outstanding department and a mediocre one. That’s MHO. Not up for debate.

I hope all of those who watching this learn something from this. Here was about a 100 year old house. And it was burning 🔥 for almost 15 mins outside of the fact that they put vynal siding on the building which I would never do. This building is strong it was built to the last. These so called new buildings they are building today if they catch on fire they are gone in 5 to 15 mins I worked at an apt complex where there were about 12 apt buildins. Well the first one caught on fire 🔥 it caught a 2nd on on fire and burnt part of a third one. The 1st one was much bigger then the house in the video by twice its size it was gone in 8 mins just goes to show you just exactly what these so called ne buildings are nothing but junk. And it saids nothing for the people who are trapped inside these buildings when they are trapped and can not get out. They charge anywhere from 1000 a to 3000 a month for these pile of junk oh one more thing you have to buy insurance to that way if the apt catches on fire they can put a claim on your insurance. So they can rebuild this junk that you live in. Now to the builders and the people that own and build this junk houses and apt and other cheap crap.
