Rolling Hills High loader skid steer fire 7-8-21 Ks,

this shed in the same location as a big barn fire we had a few years ago I went off and didn't grab my bag that had my gloves and excetera in it so I tried to keep my distance and I also have to apologize about my camera being tilted down a little too far

[@dawsont933]

This shows a lot of good things, number 1 leadership, he got on scene and took lead and got the fire out safely, the second was speed, some will say it was slow, but "slow is smooth, smooth is fast, fast isn't always smooth" the crew quickly got water on the fire!

[@Radionut]

I agree mostly with what you said but he took a few seconds to put his turn out gear on. We were told to have your turn out gear on when you leave the station. First thing you should do is put your turnout gear on so you’re ready to fight the fire when you get there. That means gloves pants boots coat and respirators if needed

[@istio3466]

Our guy is taking charge and leading! Good leadership!

[@jrockyhill]

Ever since my dad retired I have been slowly moving myself into more of a leading position there was only one person at that fire that has more time on the district than me I don't know everything but I try to keep my people safe if I can I tell a lot of our new guys that I may tell you to do something but I'm not going to tell you to do anything that I won't be in there rolling around in the grime doing myself

Rolling Hills was my 2nd of 6 Volunteer Fire Departments, 1984-98. Started with Keystone. Then Kettering, Oh, Rossville, GA, then East Ridge and Hwy 58, both Suburbs of Chattanooga, TN. Rolling Hills received good training and had great people. We sold fireworks to raise funds. It was all Cotton Duct coats and hip boots until I bought my own turnouts. Then the board quickly bought turnouts after I purchased my own. Your Department looks like it has come a long ways.

[@anthonyrose7020]

Nice work Rocky! Nice work using the fan on the nozzle to help ventilate it once you had the main body of the fire knocked down.

[@markybear92840]

Amazing work for out in rural Kansas. Thank goodness there was a water supply! Great work!

[@gwencrawford737]

Very good call, keeping your distance to match your protective envelope. Gloves and SCBA would be 'better' and let you get closer... but "It is what it is...". You played it smart and stayed back and let the water do the firefighting, and kept yourself safe. :) Also a very good call on the roof condition. As far as operational pace? Spot on... there was nothing to 'save' but junk... so there was no reason to be over-aggressive and driving into the guts of the barn under that sagging roof. Risk little to save little. :) Good looking out for your fellow firefighters. Nice job on the whole!

[@jrockyhill]

Somehow my gloves got taken out of my bag is the only reason I didn't have them and like you said there wasn't much to save so I stayed back and shot water in so I wouldn't need an air pack

Respect to all firefighters in the world. You can say they do not work for free, but hey it is still a dangerous job and there is definitely no margin for mistakes.

[@imhooks]

This is why you should never park any lawn/farm equipment inside until they've cooled off. I had a garden tractor catch fire after cutting grass one time and it nearly burned the house down. Thankfully I noticed it when I saw the smoke billowing from the backyard. Was able to get it pushed away from the house then extinguished the fire.

Its literally built on the same concrete slab that was once the barn that also burnt down. Now thats some bad luck. Time to find a new location for the barn.

[@no-damn-alias]

One of the few times I saw on youtube that the firefighter actually used the nozzle on the hose and not simply created a narrow stream and moving the hose side by side. Covering the area nicely in water as the water cools down everything and thereby puts the fire out.

I just want to know, What because this fire on the first place?

Which loader did the fire start in, the full size one on the left or that little Bobcat?

[@mrcrazy051]

I would open what ever I could to help clear the smoke out to help on getting a good view of what's on fire

[@timbrown6356]

I'm gonna guess and say electrical fire on the wheel loader is what started the fire hope no one was injured

[@jrockyhill]

I'm guessing possibly electrical in the shed itself the loader had been parked for two days the skid-steer had been parked for a day and a half there was one guy who had to get a little bit of oxygen the South bay of that shed had a bunch of four-wheelers and a welder trailer in it that they were able to get out but he sucked in a bunch of smoke

You got enough water to supply three lines hit that with a deck gun or pull a 2.5. But nothing trumps proper application of water. Their is spraying a fire with water then theirs actually putting out a fire with water. Good job.

Only thing is gloves, gotta get those gloves on and the guys on the line need to be in full bunker gear. Other than that for a rural dept, yall did great and got on scene quickly and started the attack quick as well.

[@buckberthod5007]

Way too many people use a straight stream when they should be using a fog nozzle. It's why a combi nozzle is so great. If I need penatration flip the bale. If I need to cool or flood an area, twist the end around.

[@TrainsOnGoPro]

Nice Video! How much water does Your truck carry? That water tanker with the fire department or it's the farm's?

As a fellow firefighter you guys on the lines pushing the fire should honestly be packed up.... Y'all are inhaling some nasty carcinogens even as open as that was. When we hit a car fire on a open highway we will pack up before we approach just cause. Your guys health is just as important as the preservation of other peoples life and property. Keep up the good work brotha.

[@wildfirenewsnow]

Agreed

[@marylandemergencyresponses]

Granted there’s nothing to save but the job is to put the fire out I’m confused on switching from different patterns when you can just sit there and hit the bulk of the fire with a straight stream because whether it’s a lot to save or a little save the main goal and job is to put out the fire.

Using class A foam would help a lot especially in the rural area with limited water supplies

[@midstatelandsolutionsllc1515]

What would be the advantage of class A foam? Unless there’s a bunch of ordinary combustibles inside like stacks of wood or hay, class A won’t give you much more of an advantage. If anything, there’s a possibility that class B could be useful if there’s some flammable liquids present such as diesel, hydraulic fluid, engine oil, etc

[@chrisbatten2432]

What was your water source?

[@jrockyhill]

1500 gallons on the engine another 1500 on a tanker connected plus various other smaller apparatus

[@bert26a]

When I use to serve we use to get the municipality to bring in a trackhoe to peel off the tin on buildings like that so we could somewhat safely put out the fire inside. Do you guys have foam on your trucks? It makes a big difference on fires like that

I guess a lot of our foam units are plugged up and a lot of times I don't think to have them turn them on

Good turn out I want and checked on him while the ambulance was still there and he was doing good they had him on oxygen

[@______-id5ud]

Obviously what you do in the rural setting is different than what I do in the city setting but the fog nozzle is still junk. It has its place but not for extinguishing. Your fog or semi fog pattern wasn’t making it more than just a few feet inside the doorway. The seat of the fire appeared to be deeper than what you were reaching. Obviously everyone’s tactics are different just making an observation. Good work be safe!

[@dedlyrabbit3334]

I believe after seeing some other comments that after he got a lit knocked down that he was trying to use the fog to ventilate the smoke out, obviously he was getting a lot of steam conversion but from my understanding that’s what the fog was for

[@______-id5ud]

@@dedlyrabbit3334 that’s not the proper use of a fog pattern for hydraulic ventilation. If anything he was putting the flow back into the fire. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gp_ZcqZnpdRkhpY

So a TFT is junk to you? They revolutionized the fire service.

[@______-id5ud]

@@dougs4944 proper training and proper hose management is the key to extinguishment. As I stated, the fog nozzle has its place but for distance and penetrating a fog pattern is very ineffective in this setting. It was steam before it reached the fire.

[@huskerman8850]

Foam is nice. But for some volunteer departments it’s very expensive to use. Also most volunteer department probably won’t know how to use foam. I am on a volunteer department in southern nebraska. It’s very hard to get people to come to meetings let alone trainings. We have been sending letters out to members to come but if they won’t come to the next call, meeting, or training they will be kicked off. Most ppl just join for the glory but think since it’s volunteer and not paid they don’t have to go through all the b.s. training that the paid departments go through. And that’s the problem.

Nice job sitting in a pool of water that obviously has some sort of fuel in it (the rainbow sheen on top of the water is a dead giveaway). That is the perfect way to ruin a 2 to 3 thousand dollar set of gear. At least you didn't ruin your gloves, since you were not wearing any. Also, your use of fog patterns is rather strange. There was NOTHING for you to ventilate, being as there are no doors on the barn and there are holes in the roof. Great use of water in a rural setting.
