PRE ARRIVAL to a house fire 5678 S Utica Ave, Tulsa OK 9-20-20

[@cbocker]

Everyone got off the truck and was headed in a direction - they were suited up and had a plan BEFORE they got there and carried it out very well. They fought this fire like this home was a family members, the sense of urgency was refreshing. Notice that no one is standing around looking for direction and the fire engineers are proactively providing support and equipment. This is a textbook example of a well trained crew.

[@scotthinkle9673]

Agree on all but one thing. "safety" The two pulling hose close to the entry point were not bunkered up. They had no business working up close to the fire without full gear.

[@glennhuber4975]

Well thank you, as a firefighter it’s nice to hear from you keyboard junkies who know not a thing about firefighting and less about commenting. No one ever just “stands” around, orders are given deliberately to save lives. If we all ran in Willy nilly we look like the three stooges, and someone gettin hurt.instead of criticizing may I suggest watching a fire next to a real firefighter you get a chance , and ask questions so your better informed before commenting next time?

Chief here...one word - superb! Fast attack, preparation, teamwork, not a lot of giving of orders...they knew exactly what to do, and exactly how to do it. And after knockdown, the high fives and happiness. They knew they did well, and celebrated as a team. Bravo...should be used as an example for other departments.👍

[@retireeslife4013]

Superb are you kidding. Kicking the door in and taking it off the hinge reduces to ability to control the opening air flow. Secondly they didn't have a secure water supply. If that is what you call superb you don't need to be a chief.

Highest compliments to the training officer, chief, captain, engineer and firefighters! Well done! You make us proud and grateful! They had an efficient entry, attack, rapid hose charge and a crew ready to relieve the first ones inside. Nice camera work!

@@MrGrendel65 I appreciate that. I have many memories from that. I figure I went on at least 8,000 calls. To bad we aren't neighbors! I bet we could swap a story or two! Squirting water was one thing. Dealing with TCs or medical aids were the most humbling.

[@JB91710]

Really? Where was the Deck Gun hitting all the Visible Burning Material within the first minute of arrival? Then, they would be the heroes you described.

[@born2bbald12]

@@JB91710 Hmmm, I think your assessment is lacking. First of all, it's been forty years since I was in that world. So, I'll do the best I can. The first thing, after securing the utilities (electric, gas) is to assess the incident. In this case a single-dwelling, without any initial exposure problems with adjoining structures. The first concern is an internal attack. That is more important than using a "deck gun". We called them "master streams" or "deluge", I've not heard "deck gun". Regardless, the internal entry is more important in the initial attack, since the crews arrived early on. The reason is to do a search for people that may be inside the structure. That is not done with an external attack. I'm sure you are aware that using a "deck gun" does not reach the base of the fire. In this case an internal attack can put the fire out at the base. In this scenario and external attack is supplemental. It would not have put out the fire. Also, there is the problem of water damage by a high pressure stream that, in this case, would have caused more property damage. Your assessment may be premature in another regard. The incident commander may have felt the water supply was inadequate. We both don't know. Since you and I were not there we should give those on scene some credit. Yes, there was a snorkel unit available. However, the fire was relatively small, the attack was quick, the fire was knocked down by an efficient crew. I stand by my original comment, from a year ago. This crew did an excellent job. I beg to differ with your opinion. If you have a better explanation, I'll listen.

[@JB91710]

@@born2bbald12 By the paragraph. 1. "The first thing, after securing the utilities (electric, gas) is to assess the incident." TIME! While you are doing that, people are dying, and property is being destroyed. "The first concern is an internal attack." TIME! You never explained WHY an interior attack is more important than turning off combustion. The Deck Gun could shut off most of the combustion in that end room before you could get fully dressed let alone assemble and entry team, pull a hose and get the front door open. That upper floor was an inferno, a blast furnace of energy. If you Just do an interior attack, you are opening the front door, which becomes a Pressure Release Location, and you have to walk up the stairs and try to eliminate that energy as you go. Your water stream will go up and the heat will want to come down into your face if it can't get out the windows fast enough. You can protect victims by eliminating most of the threat with an exterior attack rather than allowing the fire to burn and get bigger while you search a smoke filled and unfamiliar structure in order to pull them out. In their night cloths while you are fully protected. 2. The water from the DG will explode when it hits the hole in the roof, the jamb and header of the window and the ceiling and wall. It will fill that room with a cloud of water which will cool the space considerably. All that while the entry crew is still pulling up their pants. The water stream would not have caused any damage to the attic and fully involved room. The pressure Is adjustable for the specific needs. 3. That fire, like most residential fires, could have been extinguished using the 500 gallons of tank water they Should have brought with them. Even considering using the DG for 5-10 seconds which is all that would be needed considering the Line of Sight it had. We should never give the Commander any credit for thinking and acting correctly as 95% of USA department leaders have no clue what the Right way is. These videos Prove that if you have the ability to evaluate what you see. And you can see more than enough to do that. Getting the job done Eventually is of no help to victims and property. 4. TIME, is something nobody takes into consideration! Turn your oven up to 500 degrees and then stick your arm in there and tell me how long you can keep it there. That is close to the temperature of the radiant heat a victim is experiencing from the 1700-degree flames. The radiant heat from the smoke alone would kill them. When you arrive, you have to look for the Visible Burning Material and turn off combustion as soon as possible by using the tools that will do that the quickest. The Deck Gun and a Booster line or the correct length 1-3/4" line. The last one, nobody ever takes into consideration what a mess they are creating when they pull a 300-foot line to reach a 60-foot fire. This is how you approach, and fight fires the responsible way. kzbin.info/aero/PLkp0E1ao1XEzg384QZ4ovMA_6P7gCY3nJ

[@robcruthis7539]

Inside fires need inside water. With there being no delay getting a hoseline inside it would be the wrong tactic to put water on it from the outside. Reason for this is, several fold. This would change the survivability profile inside. Two, it is hard to get to the solid fuels from outside so when you go to transition inside, the fire almost always rebounds. Putting water on it from the outside in this case would cause a delay getting water inside where the victims need us to be. Hope this helps. The UL and NIST have done a lot of research on so many things in the last few years to help us be more efficient and save lives. All the studies are available online free of charge. They are proving what works and what does not work. Debunking a lot of the old things we were taught. I highly recommend watching the videos.

This Engine 18 and Ladder 123 worked like clockwork to knockout the fire. I noticed how fast they were and everyone was doing a task. I learned a lot by watching this. Lt. Rick K. MFD

[@arthelle418]

This was a great example of a well trained Fire Department. Great Job Guys!!

[@chaosdemonwolf1]

Imagine the surprise the home owners had coming home seeing this. There were no cars in the garage and nobody home.

[@KathrynsWorldWildfireTracking]

5:21 - That was a smooth hopping-dismount, pirouette - helmet on-tight. 10/10.

[@eddiespagetti8395]

Awesome work. They immediately kicked in the door and had water on this real fast , this is great men and woman to do this work for their community .

[@ericweiler6571]

I’d hate to be a fire in Tulsa. This dept is incredible. I’ve never seen a video of Tulsa FD that wasn’t some of the best firefighting in the land. Great job TFD

[@mountainsurvivaloutdoorcha6129]

This dept takes their training seriously, fantastic work

[@CherlottaCostello-mf5bq]

The guy who saved my life was a fire Fighter of Tulsa Fire Department Thank You for everything you do hes actually in this video..

[@robertetherington614]

The firefighters did a fantastic job . Amazing to see how efficient they are . In other USA videos they seem to get the marshmallows out and wait till fire is through the roof before putting water on it from a tower ladder Nice to see such a organised response 👍

[@rfdfire911]

Great Job! It’s amazing how when the fire went out, it got better for everyone.

[@christinebernard5226]

The door entry was priceless!!! WELL DONE👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@slrkls]

These guys knew exactly what their jobs are and attacked this fire fast and aggressive. Great training and great leadership within this house. Well gone guys!

[@alaninnh]

Well done!!! As a retired chief, this was enjoyable to watch.

Harbor freight...you mean the Walmart of tools🤦....

[@MsBelle1111]

Doesn't give me much faith in deadbolts, that's for god damn sure.

Naw - door was just not rated badass-proof.

[@Utubin]

@@KathrynsWorldWildfireTracking Hell yeah,bad ass fireman/woman lol

[@JackR_TV]

@@richardyork9495 Harbor freight is pretty good. Every time our tools break we go there and walk out with a new one. Plus the tools are cheap so we just buy 2 of everything and still save money.

[@Ramztothaz]

Very well done boys. All the way from the nozzle man to the guys catching the hydrant.

[@timmied8461]

I have often thought about, especially watching really big fires, about the "platter of spaghetti" looking hoses that are everywhere, and then it all has to be sorted back out and put back away for the next fire! Big Job to do after just putting a Structure Fire out!

[@lindatoten6452]

My front yard had fire hose stretched out like spaghetti when my camper burned down. They probably could have saved it if it wasn't for the ammo that was stored in it. It went off worse than fireworks.

[@aportman58]

A good chauffer always knows where the hose goes and how much pressure he/she should be pumping!!!

[@enid0mom]

@@lindatoten6452 where do you keep your ammo now?

[@lindatoten6452]

@@enid0mom, it is in a fireproof gun safe. The ammo that went off was stored in a cabinet that belonged to the guy who was using our camper.

[@enid0mom]

@@lindatoten6452 is it heat proof?

[@alanburris463]

I watch a lot of fire fighting videos. This is probably the fastest entry yet I’ve seen. Great job Tulsa FD

[@cornelfrancis5048]

Greetings from the UK, if you guys are volunteers (retained in the UK) you were very professional at what you did, a lot of full time Ff's could take a leaf out of your book on how the job should be done. Your officers had faith in you to go and knock down the fire, unlike some officers who prefer to stand outside, play it safe and watch the structure burn to ground you guys didn't, well done.

[@Skipbo000]

i assure you they are paid and paid well.

[@shenandoahmike3915]

God I love to see an aggressive attack on a fire! No bullshit just firefighting! Nice job guys! Almost coffee time!

[@rustynail6819]

Seen a TON of these types of videos and I will say this was one of the most professional by far!! Everyone knew exactly what there job was and did it. First engine arrival and hose was being pulled and water supplied in under 2 minutes. The lack of YELLING!!!!!!! was refreshing. Yelling mean you don't know what you're doing. Great job all round.

[@francissmith3635]

I know this comment is a year latter. But an awesome aggressive attack. It so nice to see real firefighter again. Great job all around.

[@kristinreynolds577]

TFD, y’all are rock stars! It would be a great world if we never needed your assistance, but I’m very proud to have you!! Y’all stay safe!

[@Voodoo8648]

Let's all take a moment to recognize another hero here. The camera man. This guy deserved an Oscar award and full time employment by 21st Century Fox or Steven Spielberg or some shit. Landscape. Steady camera work. Awesome angles. Best KZbin camera guy ever

[@aholegunner]

Now this is how it is done! *These firefighters did an AMAZING JOB!* I have watch countless videos of inept firefighters just doing a horrible job. Tax dollars and many property dollars wasted. I dont wsnt to dislike our firefighters at all, but it is what it is. God bless you wll and stay safe.

[@jugheadjones5458]

I’ve seen a lot of fire videos on KZbin and this one shows the lines getting charged up the fastest of any I’ve seen. These guys were on their game. I’d rather face a gun than go into a burning building. Thanks heroes!

[@TheChubbyKid]

I've watch so many firefighter videos and they go so unbelievably slow to fire, mainly in the name of safety. However this group had everything down. The speed, their roles and action plan showed their efficiency. Quite amazing.

[@RollsRoyceGuy]

What a great impressive job by the Tulsa FD. Wonderful job guys how fast you were. I have seen fires where over 5 minutes pass before water is applied and the structure is pretty much gone

[@BLACKMONGOOSE13]

Most people don't realize that these crews have another hour of work when they get back to the station readying the truck for the next run.

[@alejandroparodi866]

Not to mention a few with salvage and overhaul after its out lol

[@murrayhall908]

First class job by well trained and led team who effectively attacked the fire andf killed it very quickly. No messing, no shouting - everybody knew what and when to do "it". Congratulations Tulsa guys!!!!!

[@tonyfaconi3442]

That was an amazing attack, the best I’ve ever seen. Bravo gentlemen!

[@beckylynn209]

I love how they wiggle to shut their beepers off!! Too cute.. Best fire video I've seen.. Thought for sure this beautiful house was a goner.. Way to hustle guy's! 👍

[@geraldhall4787]

A sense of urgency and great response. Congratulations to a well coordinated and organized crew. I'm impressed compared to some of the other fire scenes that I've seen.

[@ArmandoHernandez-dh3gz]

look to slow for me

[@AeroVisionNY]

Great interior attack and quick knock down. Nice work. And a great fire ground video. Thanks!

[@fireykev]

Fast, calm, efficient and safe, what more can anyone say, well done to everyone involved, ps wish I was there

[@markviereck4547]

This fire crew is so well trained.. everyone is working together like a well oiled machine..

[@adamd.2437]

Calm, cool, collected, moving with purpose, ghetto stomp the door and line inside. Professional.

[@jaramillochris7702]

Everybody knew their role, jumped into it IMMEDIATELY and kicked ass! The most professional team I've seen in all the KZbin videos I've been binging on. Usually I'm over here arm chair quarterbacking.... "why aren't they attacking it urgently?, Hurry fellas!" Not this time, I was cheering Go get em!! I dont have what it takes to be a fire fighter. I definitely don't have what it takes to be a part of this badass brigade!!!!

[@Riteaidbob]

I was impressed at how easily that front door came off it's hinges.

[@BearwoodBrown]

Or shocked at how easy the bad guys could get in those hinges needed longer screws at least

[@captainotto]

I just thought that guy never skipped leg day. He took that door out like the owner owed him money.

[@9995-q1u]

Impressive. I was kind of just expecting them to stand back and dump water on it from the outside. But they went right in after it. They did a pretty good save given the fire. I'm watching these videos because it's one of my biggest fears. We use propane for gas and the builder of this house was very sketchy and we've found all kinds of things wrong. We live in the country on a well, no hydrants. If it ever goes, it'll go fast.

[@joshsantana7792]

If fire fighting was an Olympic sport they definitely would've got a gold medal 🥇🏅
