House Fire - Frisco PD and Frisco FD - Jan 30 2022

[@SL-sh6tf]

Always close doors behind you. Front doors, back doors, room doors. Leaving them open brings oxygen to the fire. Closing them buys you time.

[@hosedragger-204]

I was about to say this. Modern homes are so tightly sealed that by the time we arrive on the engine, the fire has used up most available oxygen and has settled down to a slow smoldering. The downside is that once the door is popped, it usually results in a backdraft occuring due to the fuel rich smoke build up

Fantastic work by the FPD and FFD, congratulations!!!

GOOD job.My x was a fire fighter worked at VA in Alexandra La. He passed away 3 days ago.he was 71. Good job.

I'm so sorry for your loss Charlene

Awesome work Frisco PD and Frisco FD! 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

[@JoshChris85]

"little smoke, little glass to the side of the head... I'm all good!" Haha! Great work Frisco PD and FD! Crazy to see how fast that went from "oh hey, there's a lot of smoke" to "fire engulfing the back of the house and fence".

[@juliecoley4804]

So glad you are okay!

[@peter-yc7di]

because he left the door open

[@michaeld4953]

Excellent job by PD. They woke the kid up from his stupor and told outside team where he was. No complaints at all. Yea doors should have been closed but they also could have been only beacons for egress if someone was in there and lost. Heroes all around.

[@danielpotyok7446]

Unfortunately, you can see the pattern of smoke sucking into the house when they opened that front door. That is a vacuum as the fire is consuming all the oxygen, the opened door becomes a fuel point for the fire. The door being left open in the front totally fed that fire. By the time they got to the back and opened that door, the smoke pattern had changed and smoke is billowing out as the radiating heat is causing air expansion and forcing smoke out. That was all on account of open doors. Inside occupant should've been advised to close their door and block the air gap on the bottom with clothing, sheets or towels and open their closest window. That rapid spread was from open doors. Too bad about the damage and the loss of the dog.

[@TexasbyStorm]

Well done! From the front you would never realize how hot and big the fire is. I hope their dog was able to escape.

[@jasonbathurst3199]

The kid was so polite, he was like we are getting a ladder and the kid just calmly says thank you. You don't even realize how huge that fire is and how quickly it spreads. Those guys need to commended for their quick action getting that kid out!!

[@jackiedaytona7681]

While I appreciate the spirit of cooperation and having the desire to help, there has to come a point where PD backs out and lets fire take over. Keeping doors open, taking down ladders, and generally being in the hot zone without any ppe is just asking for something to go wrong. That rapid fire growth on the first floor at the 4:40 mark is directly due to the officers leaving the door open. The training and roles are separate for a reason. It doesn't take much to go from rescuer to one who needs to have resources diverted to be rescued because they were winging it. FD doesn't go into active shooter scenes to take down a gunman and doesn't tase unruly folks on emergency scenes because there is a span of expertise that has to be observed. Know your roles and work together.

[@Rudy28330]

I guess u have to put it in cop language.. STAY IN YOUR LANE!

[@TheEvilQueenHasSpoken]

I completely understand your point. I can only imagine how hard it would be to walk away knowing someone inside is in imminent danger...

[@Derekva40]

100% agree.. No offense but you dont see us chasing bag guys down the street>> Stay in your lane

[@Derekva40]

@@TheEvilQueenHasSpoken yea but they actually made conditions way worse by keeping the doors open and then taking the egress ladder down

[@danielgadd9290]

Arm chair firemen you all are.. first is preservation of life then property. The cops did an excellent job. Before you idiots start calling my bluff i am a firefighter 16 years experience.

3:36 what is that that the officer turned?

[@chinookh4713]

it basically turns on and off the water hose

[@sb859]

Yes, the Police Dept is a force for good and must be supported by the citizens so they are well funded and know we appreciate them. Thank you Police and Fire Depts.

Good work!

[@EchoRainCalm]

Did they rescue the dog?

[@irishdrums4753]

Glad the kid made it…but, this should be used as a training video for door control. That fire went from a possible offensive stop to untenable in about 1 minute after the back door was open.

[@juliecoley4804]

Such a great job FPD and FFD! Did the dog make it?

[@s.schmidt9150]

Tragically no. Frisco FD took WAYYYY TOO LONG to get a charged hose on that fire and then a Frisco Fire officer completely dismissed that the dog was still inside and said “everybody is out of the house”. That’s was a completely circus show of a scene. With as heavy is that smoke was, that dog was most likely already unconscious which is why he didn’t run out when the door opened. We see it a lot unfortunately. That smoke was already at the floor… only takes 2-3 minutes. There was zero sense of urgency to get the dying dog out, even after the owner said it like 10 times. LIFE SAFETY FIRST, ALWAYS!!!

[@juliecoley4804]

@@s.schmidt9150 I bet they had to choose teenager and dog. I think they made the right choice.

[@s.schmidt9150]

@@juliecoley4804, I completely agree that we always choose to save humans before pets but after the boy was rescued, the dogs life was still dismissed. That’s not how we operate at all…

[@cheesemyhead]

Julie - I live in the neighborhood, and yes, the dog survived. This is from one of their neighbors on that street: “I talked to the owner and he said she (the dog) has some smoke inhalation and was kept over night for observation, but otherwise was fine.”

[@juliecoley4804]

@@cheesemyhead Thank you, that makes me happy. I had a house fire in Wichita Falls and my dog survived and of 5 my 6 cats. The FD did mouth to mouth on one of them.

Good job officers very professional I can see if them 2 police officers was not there it could have been a very bad outcome for that boy.

[@lisabloemers4084]

😪💔🙏💜💛

[@ashleygonzales3756]

Why were they opening all the doors? And slowly walking around in the beginning.

[@jonc2914]

Because they are stupid.

[@MegaColtsfan101]

Close the freaking doors. You absolutely created a flow path for the fire to rapidly spread and worsen conditions. Also, please don’t take down ladders after a fireman puts it up. That could be a lifesaving egress point for a firefighter inside that gets overcome with high heat.

[@chinookh4713]

PSA: never take down the ladders unless you are told by the chief, gives FD a way to get out in a hurry the other day their was a fire in the area and the fire fighter was left dangling as he had to escape a flashover

[@robertsimmons-m4z]

Police need to be taught. Don’t open up windows and doors on a house fire. They introduced air into house which caused fire to spread luckily didn’t trap victim.

[@desMCD80]

PD made the fire worse.. they need fire education in case of situations like this. Besides that can still say they did a good job. Doing something is better than sitting back watching

[@JBart3112]

Hopefully the FD taught the PD to close those doors if they ever see this situation again. Probably not because they didn’t do it either.

[@JBart3112]

And it takes one FF to carry and throw a 24’ ladder. Maybe someone else could’ve pulled a hose around back.

[@BryanSmith705]

@@JBart3112 if the driver is the one bringing the ladder, who is going to pump the hose? Life safety above all things. PD located the victim and directed FD to the rear. Officer does a 360, driver and tailboard take the ladder to the rear and make the grab. No wasted movements. Let the next incoming deal with fire attack. My humble opinion of course

[@Grounded75]

Glad everyone was OK but the PD did more harm by opening doors and feeding the fire. Locate the victim, communicate with dispatch, And let FD do their job. You almost became victims rather than first responders. Just saying.

[@johnschaefer124]

I'm glad those cops made an effort and everything, but you can't run around opening every door. That rapidly introduces oxygen to the fire and can kill the victim. Also, you don't go "get a ladder from fire." You go get fire and let them do it. They aren't there to help the cops.

[@justinfinn6850]

Life safety is def number one priority. But you can’t lose focus of your job/assignment on the fire ground. Everyone went to the rear looking to help that kid. It took entirely too long to get a line in service. Glad to see them making a grab but have to say I was overall disappointed by performance of general fire ground tasks.

[@jonc2914]

Go back to ticket revenue and hiding under bridges Frisco PD..... you opened every door, fed the fire, and took down ladders... like wtf... move out the way and let the FD take over...

[@brianluber865]

What is this "fire video chasing for profit"? C'mon dude. If they need help they will find it. Poor taste...

[@brianluber865]

I guess this is their copy and paste comment that they put on fire videos when they see its in their area.
