5 to 15 minutes???? Are you saying in the US once crews arrive on scene it takes them 5-15 minutes to get water on the fire??? Is that what your saying?????

[@thegreatvincenzo8159]

Being a tad 'old school' my view of this is somewhat different. It was clear that the roof of the property was being affected by the vehicle fire and this could be seen by the crews on arrival. I've been retired now for 25 years but I would have had a BA crew up in the loft with a hosereel immediately after getting water on to that vehicle fire. This would have prevented fire spread in the structure and saved a whole lot of grief for the owners. I saw little point in setting up the ground monitor just to wash the roof along with the 3 other jets I counted. The fire was inside, not outside. Still, at least everyone got to wear a tabard. If that's how fires are approached these days and this is brigade policy then so be it. I'll go back to sleep. 😂😂

[@BATCHFNECOSSE]

why didn't they send a crew in, is it too dangerous due to the roof collapse?

[@thegreatvincenzo8159]

@@BATCHFNECOSSE Good question. Close coupled roof construction can be problematic in fires. Those spiked plates hammered in that join together the spars are an aluminium alloy. Aluminium melts at around 660°C, fires generally burn around 900°C to 1100°C so there is a probable/possible loss of stability. In the early stages of an incident, however, which this was, whilst it is a consideration, it shouldn't limit the Incident Commander's actions in mitigating the damage to the property.

i noticed the next door window smashes from the heat. it must be some heat from that distance then to do that.

No we would have stretch two 1 3/4 interior lines in less than 2 minutes been prepared to open the roof, setup positive pressure which would have helped keep the fire out of the building. Put an additional exposure line on the neighbors house. Cranked up the deck gun and knocked the RV fire out in 1 minute. No interior fire fighting at all in the video they let the fire breached the roof then dumped tons of water on the attic. Waste!. Oh yeah are all your lined rolled up we have 4 attack line skids mid ship a 5 inch supply line and 3 large attack lines equipped with small blitz water monitors and 2 1/2 fog or smooth bore nozzles.

Great work by the guys at the Scottish Fire & Rescue Service. Our heart goes out to the residents that were caught up in this incident, thankfully nobody was understood to have been seriously injured or in need of any frontline medical care Steve. The explosion pops that you can hear in the background which was previously thought by some to be aerosol cannisters is actually that of solar lithium batteries exploding although at those temperatures inside the property anything that is combustible is potentially very much not immune to exploding. Although the extent of the damage to the roof & guttering is the least of anyones worries sadly not to mention the solar system and that's just for starters sadly. Really hope all concerned are fully insured, really sad watching someone's personal property being destroyed by fire although it could have been alot worse! 4:08 The fire fighter who is running to the end of driveway is gesturing to his colleague to increase the pressure of the water.

The worst fire fighters ever

[@MsGorteck]

I am glad I am not the only one thinking they delt with this fire wrong. In the states there are a great many departments that fight fires from the outside of the building. Indeed they are proud of this tactic. The departments that follow this philosophy tend to be suburban departments and on the more well to do side, income wise. They feel that the home owners have insurance for a reason, building new buildings is good for the economy and fewer firefighters get hurt fighting the fire on the outside of the building than on the inside. (I am certain that the cost savings in this has absolutely no impact on this policy.) There are also departments that lack the manpower to get aggressive with their firefighting, though this does not appear to be the case in this clip.

[@MegaSunspark]

I think firetrucks should be equipped with truck mounted high pressure hose(s) under close to full pressure during the transit to the fire location and to full pressure and start spraying as soon as the truck comes to a halt at the scene. Every second counts. Too much time taken pulling the hoses out and turning the water on and start spraying. The water pressure on those hoses here is not enough, it was almost a weak trickle of water discharge. You got to spray with at least one or two hoses in a large diameter cone pattern under high pressure where water almost becomes atomized and saturates the air with moisture to cool down the entire local atmospheric area as well as the structures on fire to keep it from spreading to nearby structures. Other hoses can then be brought into action with more focussed and directed spray on the fire itself.

Not true at all it depends on the fire conditions and first arrival size up how long the fire has been burning how far the crews have to travel to get there and with how inconsiderate some idiots are whether or not they have to dodge traffic there are many factors to take into consideration sir. That and the fact that different departments have a different sop. If the building is indeed beyond saving then a defensive attack is used to stop the possible spread to other structures. If it's safe to do so an interior attack is employed it all depends on what commands the crews are given here. No sense in unnecessary risk .

I noticed your fire service did not attempt to put the house fire out; they just let it burn and contained it.

[@CarTalesCrew]

Right, and then people have the nerve to spout "pay attention American firefighters" what are we paying attention to? the fact that you let the house burn and did go inside.

[@thwales2520]

The property was a total loss anyways and was compromised, they did the best thing and remained defensive protecting the other properties, can't send BA crews inside anyways as no one was trapped inside and the first floor and roof was a collapse risk, what they did was adequate enough to contain the fire

[@zelbole]

That's how terrifying that must be.

Got water on that fire faster than any American fire department! I have no idea why our departments take a long time to get water started!

when spraying don't keep shaking, finally the floor is sprayed, never stop spraying, don't talk too much..

[@glennhuber4975]

Is that apply to everywhere, or communist countries. Communication is a very important part of a fire scene, and your told to spray low to out out the base of the fire, cooling it enough to maybe do an interior attack. When you think you know more, come back and try another comment.

Think photographs are one of the worse things to lose in a fire ( might not seem important to some but to others photos of family friends holidays well before socail media n phones came out)

[@LtD973]

Only way to tackle a pitched roof fire in a dwelling like this is from inside. The general design of a roof is to keep water out. If you’re too slow then the integrity of the roof will be compromised like here and mean backing out or staying outside and using an aerial to open the roof and fight the fire. Crews needed to make entry into the house ASAP on arrival and get up into the loft with water. Initial attack on vehicle outside looked ok but entry was needed inside at the same time. Fire looks like it had already started to spread into the roof eaves before the fire fighters arrived and then took a hold. A difficult job to deal with! IC decided to not commit early on when they had a small window of opportunity. A difficult call.

[@nevillemason6791]

What you (and many others) don't appreciate is how close to the house the burning vehicle was. Many UK houses have very little land outside the front. The vehicle may have been less than six feet from the front door immediately behind would be the main and only staircase. The fire was so well developed up the main staircase when the fire crews arrived that their was no possibility of entering the house to access the upstairs. External attack was the only option at that stage.

[@thegreatvincenzo8159]

​@@nevillemason6791 Erm, forgive me for asking but what are those long metal things on the top of the appliance? I may be wrong but I'm sure I've seen them used to access the upper floors of buildings. Maybe one of those, pitched to a window at the rear of the property, would be sufficient to secure egress for any crews working inside. Just saying is all.

[@thwales2520]

​@@thegreatvincenzo8159There was no point risking BA crews into that property when no lives at risk, they did the best thing and remained defensive and attacked from the outside which was effective enough, the first floor was already compromised anyways so that property was a total loss as it looks like it was built around a wooden frame with a brick face, all lightweight materials, there's no point risking firefighter lives over a bunch of bricks so protecting the surrounding properties would of been one of the main priorities

Im just watching now, great to have a Fire Service & reminds me to always have two garden hoses always ready. What happened to the big hoses, the house next door needs saving too ?!

[@bradleypryor5586]

As a FF, I'll never understand the European way of using, what is basically a high pressure garden hose on fires. Here, we use big water on big fires. End result might not have changed but it probably would have gone out faster and caused less damage to exposures. Thoughts or comments from my Brothers and Sisters overseas?

[@limbeck1866]

in the uk, the hose reel "garden hose" is used in compartment firefighting often, and exterior.... its all to do with the water droplet sizes to reduce the amount of steam made inside a buring compartment....

[@bradleypryor5586]

@@limbeck1866 I get what you're saying. My dept used fog nozzles but with minimum 1.75 inch lines at approx 110psi. Get about 175 gallons/min. Puts fire out fast. Different tactics. Cheers .

[@robertborchert932]

Sorry, but through practical experience I understand the folly of "steam" and "pushing the fire". Bollocks. You must attack the source energy. Otherwise, it will have you.

[@nevillemason6791]

@@bradleypryor5586 That sounds OK, but there's many videos from the US where it takes up to 10 minutes to produce any water from the hydrant. Meanwhile the fire's rapidly grown and spread. The hose reels are 22mm with a flow rate of 58 gallons/minute and very useful for rapid attack from the on board 1,800 litre tank. See link for vehicle use: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kILXdpeOg8-ipNE

[@bradleypryor5586]

​@@nevillemason6791 In my metro department, we were expected to get a solid water supply in about 5 minutes. There are definitely departments that don't do that. That 22mm line is what we typically refer to as a booster line or red line (because they're usually red). I loved it but we NEVER pulled it for a structure fire. For car fires like you showed, we pulled 100ft of 1.75 at about 150 gpm. Puts the fire out WAY faster, especially if there are exposures. The 22mm was typically used for small brush fires or cleanup. Don't get me wrong. EVERYONE loved that line, but it doesn't put out a substantial fire.
