Welcome to Tankerland, folks. I’m thinking rural volunteer department, probably about a 20-minute response time, not a hydrant in sight, etc.

that house was gone before they got there. they did the best they could. we have to have a sprinkler system in our rural area long grove. We have a 500 gal tank hooked up to the well and a pump to boot pressure. but that still is not 100%. you will still have damage. Did you know the town's insurance rates are based on their losses? Lloyds of London is who most use.

That’s a silly remark. I lived in a larger city for years with curbside hydrants, city water supply and paid fire department and witnessed three homes go up in flames in spite of it. The host home was completely destroyed and because homes are closer together in most cities, the homes on either side had bad damage too. So you can stay in the city if that makes you feel more protected from fire but trust me it’s a false sense of security.

@@MrScottie68 I’ve been thru a house fire. My house was saved because the FD was 5 mins away. Had I lived in the country with a volunteer FD, by the time they got to the station, then to my house, it would’ve been in the same shape as this one. So no, not a false sense of security, fact. I’ve also known one family that lived in the country and lost everything. There was nothing left of their home but foundation.

I'll have to say, I live in the country and run with an on call dept. We have a very good response time and guys are off the engine, packed up and heading to the door when the brakes get set. There are some that get lost, cabins or seasonal homes in the woods, especially at night when smoke can't be seen by neighbors to call it in. That being said, I've seen a lot of small depts that fit your description and don't spend much time training and gave very little sense of urgency. It kills me to see fire ground ops that lack training and/ or common sense

@@firefighterpk2440 I live I England and am our county fire and rescue service is a mix of wholetime and on call firefighters and the on call firefighters do 31 days training prior to being allowed on call, residential fires are different over here because of construction differences, most homes being brick double skin though homes over 400 years old can be have stone walls three foot thick, this means that residential fires are contents fires not structural and most are handled by pulling a couple of 22 mm pre-charged hose reels rather than 50 mm+ main jets

Okay when I first seen the picture of this house burning and I put it on I don't know if anybody else ever noticed it but there was a burn pit on fire I haven't been at least 20 30 ft away from that house why was that burning that might have been the cause of the house fire depends on the it looked like the wind was coming that way I don't know north south east or west whatever the house is sitting there but you got that burn pit and it's burning and it's a ways away from that house so that might have been the cause of that house catching a fire now the question is was anybody there cuz I don't see no homeowners walking around or taking pictures or you know the man in these guys to put the fire out real quick it's a mobile home it's going to burn a lot quicker than a regular house would so that's my question where's the owner and why is that burn pit burning 20 or 30 ft away from that house but yet the house is on fire

There are too many variables unknown to us viewers about what is known by the firefighters working this fire. It's easy to sit back and pick apart the efforts of those on scene. I have a question for you...how hot do you think it is within 6 ft of that structure? Would you feel comfortable, as a chief, sending your men/women into that structure? Have you considered structural failure and falling walls and or roof sections? If the information on scene is known to be that this structure is unoccupied and all are accounted for, it's an easy decision for me to call defense only. It does appear as though there is an issue with water supply/delivery but, here is another decision, do you send the water you have to 2 or 3 hoses or do you let one hose try to knock down as much fire as possible?

So frustrating. As is often the case, the placement of that initial line is terrible!! In all likely hood it probably didn't matter, but that line should have been placed in front of the house and the water directed at the fire closest to unburned side of the home. Perhaps they could have saved some property from the interior of that part of the house. Putting water where they did was a giant waste of time, and needlessly led to the fire extending throughout the rest of the house!! This is not rocket science, and it is inexcusable to not know such basic tactics. Shame on them. Also, lack of manpower, or lack of water supply is not an excuse.
