Oakley Fatal House Fire on Norcross Lane

[@Darrell-o7j]

these guys don't know what the hell they're doing they act confused and disoriented😮😮😮😮

[@c.raymccurley772]

Why do these guys come off that engine ready to fight fire. Their mask should be on their face when they come off that truck. Then all you do is grab your line plug the air into the mask and go in. This standing in the yard getting the mask on while people die is ridiculous! Oh and yes I'm a retired firefighter/paramedic.

[@justanotherguy1110]

Or you can just clip your regulator into your mask and hook your mask to your pack until it's time to use it. Masking up enroute is a good way to get tunnel vision. Bad idea IMO.

[@jvandyke8079]

Wow! No line in the front door to meet the fire? No truck crew assigned to a primary?

[@jesusfelix2605]

They gotta take some notes from Stockton fire

[@mothermarylspeaking8989]

That's a heck of a lot of smoke! I wonder what the fire load is because the house itself doesn't look particularly big. So sorry for the loss.

[@jromebizzle]

Tunnel vision at it's best, save the people than the house.

[@kevintennant7701]

Can anyone tell me what the hell was that noise at 1:21 in the video? That was arm hair raising scary!!!

[@andreagrove7851]

Omg I know!? Tf was that?

[@dianeplescia5565]

Sounded animalistic for sure. Half human half animal. Blood curdling for sure.

[@brianholley1942]

What a bloody shambles. These guys need some months of intensive training before they can call themselves firefighters. For starters, get yourself ready ie SCBA BEFORE you reach the fire scene and don't stand around looking stupid while the house burns down and people die

[@kentcarter835]

Do you see the lines going in to the structure at the beginning? There are guys on those lines, fighting. Maybe you should learn something before you open your bloody shambles of a mouth.

[@frankwattenbarger4235]

If you really want to learn something, watch videos from David Decker videos. By the book, no B. S. Gets it done by execution!

[@dianeplescia5565]

Different crews do different jobs. Nice to see a good turnout for each team. With the amount of smoke that fire produced, I would think they unfortunately had passed before the firemen even arrived. IMHO

[@avontaprice2]

From 1:23 to 1:28 what in the hell was that noise???????🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@bobbijoannawilson3473]

Why were the firefighters just standing there when it looked like the fire started to blaze again the firefighters were just standing there watching it burn!!!

[@peeterl.2016]

they were inside the house, you moron, garage was gone already and it wasn't the priority.

[@erikaxton6911]

If you have crews doing fire attack inside the house you can not attack from the exterior as you can push the fire back into your crews. The 3 guys standing around were most likely assigned rapid intervention team/rapid intervention crew/rapid intervention dispatch (RIT/RIC/RID). Their job is to stand ready just in case there is an issue and are dedicated solely to the search and rescue of other firefighters in distress.

Everyone is arriving to fight a fire with no mask on & nobody is fighting the fire ! Retired fire chief

[@josephkezar2893]

Seems like a lot of guys standing around.

[@51grsmith]

Aren’t you supposed to put water on a fire in less than 5 minutes and why do they not have masks on before getting off the truck😊

[@rico334]

well, if they'd have just got out, they'd still be alive........

[@donbrinkman3874]

Sad for the loss. Apparently they are cellar hole makers too!

[@alexbonilla6465]

Don Brinkman it’s my friends grandma who died

[@bobbijoannawilson3473]

What's a cellar hole maker??
