House Fire, Harrisburg PA, Mutual Aid to Penbrook. Tower 1

[@UncleFred100]

Kudos to that captain…shows how well trained his crew is. He didn’t have to tell them what to do, just did an assessment and grabbed a line. Off the Engine, all by himself. Impressive. Did more in 2 minutes than all the other crews already there. 👍😁

[@JUSTNVME]

Those engine guys will never hear the end of that truckie pulling their line

[@Danny-ur4bf]

its a volunteer company. I only saw one guy in gear initially. Maybe they respond in POVs and werent there yet.

[@jamesbeavers1850]

Not only did he pull the line he kicked that fires ass with it by himself

[@jacksonevans9346]

The truckie🖍 made a phenomenal stretch, never thought I would be saying that.

[@johnexford3281]

LOVE that Truck Capt!!!!

[@heartproblems2727]

my first time seeing something like this. whole new respect for what you guys do. that was some crazy S$!T....God bless our first responders.

[@Ryanb1998]

Love watching fire videos especially the helmet cam I post fire videos too of fire truck going pass my house and stuff

[@northwoodsmanbybobolink336]

GOOD VIDEO‼️Love helmet cam vid’s!!👍

[@jimkeappock7558]

Good work by this firefighter.

[@themooseisontheloose]

What the hell is a propane cylinder doing inside the goddamn house?

[@jaydoubleu9618]

Likely heating or cooking.

[@DavidGHarris518]

Or bad neighborhood and they didn't want it growing legs

[@peterp1158]

Was this a set-up? Bullets igniting, propane tank on the floor. Was someone trying to hurt firefighters?

[@SpartacusColo]

Not necessarily. Lots of people own guns, and lots of people don't understand the problem with keeping flammable gases and liquids inside a house. Also, I tend to think that the tank was empty considering it was inert sitting in the middle of an inferno.

[@michaellinde8529]

I usually never comment on fire response video's however I need to ask, where were all the firefighters from the apparatus already on-scene before the truck company arrived? As I previous volunteer, I'd say the responding crew only took a ride to the scene and wondering why they never went to work? I don't know all the circumstances on this call but need to be concerned?

[@justanotherguy1110]

Flowing a ladder pipe with crews still inside? That's a TERRIBLE idea. Why would you do that? I've seen that put guys in the hospital.

[@shawnc1016]

Same crew too.

[@williamheber2118]

What is up with that engine company?

[@Danny-ur4bf]

looks like it showed up with only a driver. some vollys respond in POVs. probably not there yet

[@chrisjct]

I don't understand if they have radios or not but it doesn't seem that they do and if not why not

[@brianc11388]

That first car in the beginning was all types of confused.

[@Laura-re9ye]

I have one question... Was anyone or animals hurt or killed in this??? I pray there wasn't.

[@briddle10]

No, no one or animals

[@roguemodel]

So, the engine companies were getting their weiners and marshmallows ready? Where was everybody? Unbelievable, must be volunteers. The firefighter from Tower 1 was smart and a hard-charger.

[@joeragman6568]

Was the engine companies understaffed? What's the hold up on water?

[@albeone3574]

I 'm thinking the engine co is volunteer and the truck co were pros responding on mutual aid.

[@nubbyg9096]

Tower 1 and wagon 4 are HBG paid crew.

[@naydenr4820]

Wagon 4 split up initially from truck which was taking a short cut a penbrook engine co was on scene first which is volunteer then tower 1 arrived, Wagon-4 arrived a little after.

[@TheWaynelds]

Hey everyone. I’ve got some left over pizza from my Crigloses birthday party, so please let me know if any of you want any. My Crigloses didn’t want to take it home anymore .

[@garkar908]

I say great job 💪

[@PyroDestruction]

Water Water!!! What happened to the rest of the crew

[@richardmahan4197]

These are the rudest and most disrespectful firefighters I have ever witnessed.

[@geraldwilson681]

This video clearly illustrates the difference between a career-paid fire department and a volunteer department. Paid firefighters are better trained and respond faster.

[@DDFJ1230]

This is not always the case.

[@geraldwilson681]

@@DDFJ1230 I spent 20 years as a volunteer firefighter and from my experience every time and the area where I ran the paid department always responded first, faster and did it better.

[@DavidGHarris518]

It also illustrated that one person on the engine, which is all you saw there, can't flow water and fight fire at the same time so you have to crossover.

[@alwojtas3730]

The guy wearing the helmet cam should get the pay for a couple of men...here did the work of them.

[@miamifan7525]

If it wasn't for you that house would of been fully gone no one seemed to be urgent and took there time like it was a toaster on fire

[@briddle10]

Well unfortunately this borough is a volunteer district that we also cover, it was very late at night and as you may know it takes a bit for them to respond in to the station then get the rigs out etc. we are a paid professional department that boarders this borough. Thanks for watching

[@mackflickerson6722]

After the chief practiced his 5-minute drill, he established "exterior wetdown group" and went to work.

That I C needs a filter on his mouth. I'm sure the home owner or the spectators didn't need to hear the f bombs he was dropping.not very good fire ground ethics.

[@daviddiffenderfer2040]

Instead of you running your mouth on here why dont you go and say that to the brothers and sisters that were on this job!!!!! You dont know the situation these guys were in at the time!!! And I dont give a shit who u are or were your from, and yes I ran fire with most of these guys on this scene!!!!!

[@bylersbanter9546]

I agree, the fbombs are uncalled for and show poor leadership.

[@stevehamman4465]

Homeowner and spectators shouldn't be close enough to hear his F bombs!! So,,,,, F bomb you!! Just kidding! Have a good day.

[@k.d.grissett7937]

@David Diffenderfer I was not addressing your brothers and sisters on scene That I/C SHOULD HAVE MORE RESPECT FOR THE FIRE FIGHTERS DOING THERE JOB.I don't know maybe that's the only type of language you understand. But most firefighters are down to earth great people that should be treated with respect. They are laying their lives on the line talk to them like people not gangsters

[@millyott4494]

Just a silly question. How do the firemen clean their clothes ????

[@andrewwalter4884]

A machine called an extractor. Looks like a giant washing machine. The inner and outer parts of the pants and coat separate and are ran through this machine then air dried

[@MD21037]

Something's wrong when you got a member of a truck company pulling the first handline! Truckies shouldn't even be touching hose lines, as their tasks do not include suppression. They are support personnel, with tasks primarily, including; forcible entry, search and rescue, placement of ground ladders, vertical/horizontal ventilation, securing of utilities, and salvage/overhaul.

[@longviewfarm226]

You get what you pay for

[@sweenburg]

Support personnel to what exactly? Putting the fire out. If the fire isn't being put out there's nothing to support. Sure it's not ideal but it is what it is, can't stand there and beat the fire out with a hook

[@MD21037]

@@sweenburg stretching lines is an engine company responsibility, especially, the first one! I don't expect you to know too much about fireground tactics and strategies, anyway.

@@MD21037 clearly the first engine was understaffed, and that first line wasn't being stretched otherwise.
