Residential Structure Fire 1-23-2024

[@garystewart2350]

Good to see the engine establishing a supply line stop at the hydrant and have a crew member get off and grab the line and allow the engine to pull it up to the scene. So often you see them drive right by the hydrant and pull it by hand back to the hydrant they just drove by! Saves so much time. Great job well done good to see a B C with a clipboard keeping track of where everybody is.

[@ffjsb]

Seems like that's a pretty standard SOP for the second engine to establish a water supply. I really don't know what that guy is going to do with a ladder, fire's already through the roof...

[@hihfty]

It saves time establishing a water supply but delays time getting a lined stretched and water on the fire or even worse having to start a rescue immediately. If the second engine is on your ass than let them handle it. We carry tank water for a reason, so use it.

[@shawnc1016]

​@@hihftyThat's what they did. This was second.

[@jacobhillhouse5080]

We have a booster tank for a reason. Forgoing putting water on the fire/search for water supply is putting our own needs in front of the citizens we serve. Let the second in catch the hydrant! When I’m more concerned about water supply than life safety we have problems.

One thing I really enjoy about watching these type of videos is knowing something can always be taken into consideration and be worked on, as a whole shift/department.

This brings back memories when I was a volunteer firefighter for St.Helens Oregon. I sure miss those days. I started when I was 15 as a explore snd work my way up to be a volunteer firefighter for 17 years.

Once a firefighter always a firefighter retired or not volunteer or career, wildland side or structure side. Stay safe

[@hosedragger-204]

100% true. About 6-8 years before I joined our department my father and I jumped the scene of a brush fire in our town and helped the first due crew to stop it from getting away from them. (The department was already tied up on a separate brush fire and couldn't spare any trucks other than the 2,000gal tanker that doubles as a brush rig. All the other rigs were tied up on the first fire for another 15 minutes) funny thing is, one of the guys on the later arriving rigs was also a firefighter on a different department where my father had served for 11 years prior to moving to the same town we did. Got to serve with that man for 4.5 years, before he just recently resigned due to having a newborn. I still see him on occasion with his primary department when they call us as mutual aid. Feels good to be working alongside someone that served alongside my father back in the day

[@KenScofield]

Was the tanker’s tank empty? A 50ft 2-1/2” could’ve provided immediate water until the plug is charged.

[@ffp5470]

By the time I could have gotten that set up the plug would've bee chagred. Good idea though, if water supply had been more delayed I absolutely would've given my 2,000 gallons!

[@ErikSaBoS]

There was already an engine on scene with lines deployed. The tanker dropped a line at the hydrant then hooked up that line to the engine. 🤔

[@DariusHilarious]

No way in the Valhalla’s of hell did I just see a chief take the nozzle and nobody else backed him up? Regardless, nice work gentlemen! I guess chief just wanted to get his hands dirty for a minute!

[@mer2705]

[@Stargazzer811]

Not trying to be "that person," because ultimately you guys did really good, but I see some stuff that is....not wrong per say but not exactly great either here. My biggest thing is why did the engine not lay in when they arrived? That alone would have saved alot of time here. I see a line is charged and operating, but it doesn't seem like much progress is being made. And for that matter I see you flake the line out at 5 or so mins in which tells me no one bothered flaking prior to charging which risks a kink and loss of water. One of the engine crew looked to be finishing getting geared at scene while another member is, I'm guessing taking pictures for public information which don't get me wrong is good, but her placement could have been more...out of the way. I do appreciate seeing the chief get in on the action, but if I had been in his shoes I'd have done it far sooner. Overall like I said, you guys did good work, but from what I see from your camera there is room for improvement, BG.

[@ffp5470]

The engine did not lay in because they did not know they had a working house fire until they were practically right in front of it. It was originally dispatched as a dog house on fire in the backyard, which called for an engine and a brush truck. As it were, the dog house was actually on the back porch and had already extended into the living room and attic space. There was a very dense fog that morning so the fire went unreported for quite some time, and you could not differentiate the fog from smoke until you were only a couple houses down from the fire. When the first engine arrived and realized all this, they quickly upgraded it to a working structure fire and made the decision to go for a fast attack knowing their next due company was only a few minutes away, believing they still had a fighting chance to make a stop on it. I agree with a lot of your points. The blue exterior line in operation was doing absolutely nothing, and the white interior attack line was flaked out terribly and should’ve been corrected sooner. The engine firefighter was not expecting a fire when they arrived and it showed, he got his ass chewed for that later on. And yes, our “picture taker” lacked some situational awareness as to where she should be. Our entire shift and command staff had a very in-depth after action review after this fire and there were some good takeaways, as well as some teachable moments and areas needing improvement. Our successes were- we got the fire out without any civilian or firefighter injuries or death. We used it as an opportunity to learn from the things we screwed up on and have gotten better from it. I appreciate the honest feedback and thanks for the view.

[@Stargazzer811]

@@ffp5470 Yeah absolutely man. I try to avoid being one of those who tear into other's work. We all do the Job and we all do it a different way. Where I work my department and many around us use the "Default Aggressive" playbook. Even if its a false alarm, when we roll up we set supply, flake a line and prep a ground ladder while the officer locates the fire. Yeah it means repacking the mattydale and LDH after, but we'd rather have to do that and find nothing than be unprepared when we hit scene. I'm glad you guys were able to take some good away from this though. Keep up the good work man!

[@RobertGildea-s8s]

I am watching from Elmira NY how long did it take for them to bring it under control

[@ffp5470]

It took about 30-40 to declare under control. Initially dispatched as a dog house in the backyard on fire which called for a first due engine and brush truck. When they arrived the dog house turned out to be on the back porch against the house. It was upgraded to structure fire as the fire had progressed well into the attic and charlie side.

[@RayMclaughlin-ff2rn]

I'm generally curious about how a FF decides what kind of fire hose is needed for calls.

[@ffp5470]

@@RayMclaughlin-ff2rn It’s dependent on numerous factors; pre-established departmental guidelines, building occupancy, fire load, type of fire, etc. In this video a 5” diameter (4-5” are pretty standard sizes) supply line is used to connect to a hydrant. The attack lines being used are 1.75” diameter, generally considered minimum size for adequate initial attack lines. For simplicity sake, bigger the fire, bigger the hose.
