This was an absolutely exemplary effort! You will be happy to see how efficiently you can work. Very quickly and professionally acted, quickly on with water. Often you see American firemen completely screwing up the fire and concentrating entirely on sawing a hell of a lot of holes in the roof with the result that the fire increases to such a mild degree that in the end you can't save the property. This was an absolutely perfect effort. You should teach other fire departments in the US how to act. In addition, almost everyone was dressed and ready for smoke diving upon arrival!

Or the engine parked in front of a 1 story SFH that could easily be laddered with a 14’ roof ladder. Or no vent hole on a minor fire (clearly not always necessary when you’ve got knockdown in under 5 minutes). Or dirty turnouts on guys just coming out of the interior after knockdown. It was a good stop with fast water and entry, quick hydrant hookup, 2 lines out and a booster line backup within minutes, and 6-8 people interior within minutes. Solid effort and aggressive fast attack.

Obviously a well-fought, well-coordinated fire attack. The video was well done also, thank you. I do have some questions though just for my education. 1) I noticed that you did not use a roof vent to eliminate smoke, though there was smoke emanating from the eves and roof vets. 2) I noticed that you never opened the garage door, though there was smoke seen coming from all around it. 3) I noticed a booster line (something that is very seldom used anymore) deployed into the house in the latter stages of the fire. I am not by any means criticizing your fire attack, because it obviously went well, I am trying to understand your logistics. Thank you.

0:45 The introduction of massive amounts of fresh air through the door can escalate the fire very quickly, including flashover. It is far better, safer and faster to wet down that front room through the windows than to Wait until you are fully dressed, have assembled and entry team and gotten the front door open. When you walk in doing it their way, you have heat and flammable gasses mixing with fresh air. The straight stream which 99.999% of department use mixes those gasses while covering very little burning material so the flames linger. That also creates a steam environment that they are standing in. There is nothing positive about making an interior attack before you have eliminated all Visible Burning Material before entry.

It would have taken the sting out of the fire, cooled any flammable gases that were close to ignition and made it better once they did gain entry to move forward much quicker. It would also help if the guys put their SCBA sets on correctly instead of going in with half the straps undone. Thats how sets fall off peoples backs and firefighters get killed.
