Residential Structure Fire - Wylie Texas Jan 2013 - WFR Dash CAM with Audio

PLEASE READ:
This video is shared to be used for firefighter training and discussion.
Wylie Quint 142 was the first unit on scene. WFR uses the total Quint concept with 4 firefighters on each apparatus. Using (2) CAFS handlines with Novacool UEF 0.4% and TFT CAFS Nozzles. We used PPA to pressurize the house and defend the un burned spaces, this fire was quickly extinguished and contained to the room of origin, and the attic. WFR was able to safely salvage many of the residents belongings.

I watch a lot of structure fires on KZbin and I have NEVER seen anything like this before. The research, communication, organization, planning, teamwork,and follow through is nothing like I have ever seen before!! Congratulations and keep up the great work. Please train all the other fire departments in the United States ASAP!! Superb!!

[@garkar908]

This the first structure I've seen that was saved from an attic fire. FOAM is the key ! Great job 💪

[@HAWKSTA24]

It was refreshing to see the IC far enough away to see the whole picture but close enough to help the interior crew with attack.

[@tomavolese9217]

This dept. did an outstanding job !! great team work, and great size up too. That's what I like to see, that even when they are still attacking the fire, there are guy's still bring out homeowners personal items ! Job well done !

[@renkcel]

FABULOUS JOB OF INTERIOR ATTACK, VERY WELL DONE GUYS!!!!!

[@1patrat]

GREAT SAVE !! Darn good job guys !! That homeowner should be very grateful. Your dept deserves a huge ATTA BOY. That fire could've got out of hand easily .

[@mike48632]

That is one heck of a GREAT fire department , I have seen major cities departments that couldn't save that house .

[@yvonnecormier13]

Very professional, and well done job.

[@13eckerlosmuerte]

That one firefighter who saved family photos and wall hangings hats off, good save

[@larryrwendelljr4465]

Your crew got in there and did one hell'va a good job it stopping the fires progression. And thought it was extremely nice to see one of your firefighters, saved some personal belongings of the owners of the house.

[@happyjack880]

No questions. Outstanding job. Excellent ICS.

[@rfd883]

Impressive - especially with a venting attic fire and that breeze blowing!

[@911Dox]

P.P.V & a 2 line attack. Good use of limited resources, knockdown in 10-12 minutes. A good save & a good days work for this dept. Nice Job.

[@nationsbravest]

Clear concise arrival reports, quick line advancement and super job on the knockdown guys. Nice call using PPV for the interior attack, Chief.

[@fiddlefolk]

great job! Made Texas proud with this one brothers! Kicked it's ass!

[@dhl32072]

you guys did a great job, im impressed

[@jimwattenburger9924]

The use of foam is the trick for a quick knock down !

[@mikegaskin5542]

Smart move using positive pressure to keep it up there in the attic.

[@ArchTeryx00]

Great example of how effective an interior attack can be on even a well advanced fire. It's rarely an easy call for a battalion chief to risk crew by going interior on a house fire, but this one was a no-brainer and the crews conducted a clinic on how to knock down a fire from inside. Few more beautiful sights than water fountaining up from an interior attack - for every bit that goes into the air, a crap-ton more is getting dumped on the seat of the fire.

[@jbarlan7551]

Great work by all including Command!

[@CenTexSlingshot]

Excellent attack! Great command, great Ops! While devastating to the home owners, your department did an excellent job in preventing a total loss.

[@PUFCKG]

Great job done. Team work at its best.

[@PoppaBlue59]

Strong work guys! Nice knock. Keep safe out there. NRH TX.

[@u4ia420]

AWESOME VIDEO! Wish my department had the resources to purchase a few dashcams. Invaluable training tool! Love the effort on the family pet too..

[@detroitfirefighter]

Outstanding! Great incident command...

[@johnnykATL]

Very nice jobs guys, great interior work and coordination! Y'all stay safe down there!

[@freeamericausa1]

Very nice job. Good attack. Great to have leadership on the scene in those primary minutes after arrival. SEE! Training really does Pay off. Good work.

[@bobby_D]

Awesome job by command and the firefighters.

[@patricialutz2092]

hats off to Texas firefighters good job guys!

[@djsmexyy]

Great Communications and Nice Work Period!

[@robodenwald2138]

Thanks for sharing

[@vinkelnisse]

Great job!

[@davidsonlankford1168]

Great job. Your team showed a lot of hustle unlike so many other departments.

[@jbrow1967]

wonderful save you guys. I was a little concerned about the ppv before the lines were inside but you guys did a hell of a job. Congrats on a good aggressive interior attack. Keep up the great work.

[@freeamericausa1]

Nice job. Great work, good leadership in taking charge.

[@erikjordan8665]

This is a great training video. Well executed fire attack, great job doing a 360 of the building, nice job calling for a 2nd alarm, more resources = less risk of getting hurt, Nice nice video.

[@MrFraser250]

Wicked knock down using CAFS. Great work.

[@Jefftank61]

Very impressive guys!

[@austint9855]

Awesome command!

[@dgerm7210]

Way to go guys that was an awesome knock down! stay safe guys, keep up the good work.

[@greenhawk46338]

nice job, good video thanks, Jim

[@janclendenin5407]

Good job controlling the fire. Sweet fireman to bring out the family photos to save them from damage! Good job guys!

[@edfelts9299]

Great attack coordinated with positive pressure to keep the fire above interior attack crews. Good knock down with resources available.

[@MIKCURIE]

Dang....that was a nice stop. Nice documentation as well

[@DFWPoliceScanner]

Great job Wylie Fire Rescue!! Job well done.

[@GeauxingCoastal]

Great job guys. When the fire is already self venting, it makes conditions inside a whole lot nicer to work in. Stay safe from NOFD.

[@eng411]

excellent command, excellent attack ... great job fellas ,,!!

[@johnnykATL]

Nice work guys!

[@koolhub6137]

great job men, professional

[@jkpol71]

Texas getting it done! nice job!

[@genniejefferson1892]

Good job guys

[@larrydawson3881]

I like how thay always get the set up just right way cool

[@lewinbn]

Good attack. It sounded like command stayed in the vehicle for the incident. Interesting approach. It certainly keeps you focused on what's happening and drowns out distracting background noise.

[@barbnjak1]

Just curious as to the three minute gap between the time line was dropped on front lawn and the time when line operated on fire.

[@anthonymalvoso3293]

Good job

[@CFlamma100]

Good job!!

[@irishfireguy]

what no body has picked then apart..LOL Great job good hustle and i love the fan going up early. This must be a very progressive dept. and if i am not mistaken using foam right off the bat.

[@djsmexyy]

Very Nice Video

[@coreybressette8738]

good Job

[@teaganmelin4269]

Nice job

[@qornothing59]

Great job guys. Text book attack on a well off house fire. Stay safe.

[@novacoolfoam5821]

Novacool UEF Foam Concentrate applied at 0.4% solution application thru CAFS with Combination Nozzles.

[@lisabeebe1863]

Impressive!! Wow!!

[@u4ia420]

AWESOME VIDEO! Wish my department had the resources to purchase a few dashcams. Invaluable training tool!

[@lezchick7]

our chief would be having a fit if we took this long to get water on the fire

[@truckofficer15jeff21]

Positive Pressure Attack with Power fans is not necessary. Pressurizing a house that you are going to pull nearly all of the ceilings will not benefit from this method. You only increase volume of air into and through a flow path and make the fire more intense. every thing else was well done. I appreciate the tactics. Few departments will do it right as seen countless times on U tube.

[@notthatdonald1385]

Some of it came down to plain old timing. Another 1-3 minutes before the fire was reported, it would be tearing through the rest of that lightweight construction. Good aggressive attack and I agree on the PPV.

[@thenussbaum44]

Hi Jeff, you make sound like your way is the only right way to do some thing.

[@bowman321123]

Great job, good stop. Good one to use for a training, good firefighting, no running around or on scene drama. Did the puppy make it?

[@eng411]

excellent command, excellent attack ... great job fellas ;)

[@NorthShoreFire3]

Very nice work guys. Was that a CAFS line or just a Class A system?

[@lizareed54]

Well done:-)

[@TheTruex56]

Did i really just see a little giant ladder.

[@1046fireman]

Is he commanding this fire from the cab of the truck? Did he do a walk around the structure? Very quick knock down! Foam and aggressive firefighting! Way to go!

[@luish777]

Good job on that interior attack👍 one thing though why doesn't anybody turn their tanks on and put hoods and masks on prior to arriving on scene,.dispatch I'm sure said it was a structure fire.

[@mrdayyumyum3712]

after a slow start upon arrival the crew did a fast job of knock down. I didn't see anyone do a 360. Like the use of foam right off the bat. Our dept is too cheap to use foam except as a last resort.

[@WRobertson1947]

Is that a CAFS working the interior? Good knock down, nice stop!

[@BFDdriver]

well commanded, didnt attack till two lines and enough people available, I like it. What type of foam is that you have in your attack lines?

[@Viola5501]

How’d the fire chiefs know the layout of the home.? Great instructions from the chief.

[@rathmullan2]

Great job,,quick knockdown..

[@profcearnaghrusso8997]

Job well done. Sometimes an aggressive attack like that is what is needed.

[@renkcel]

GREAT INTERIOR ATTACK, WAY TO DO IT!!!!!

[@decoy4fun]

What purpose does the positive pressure fan serve? In my mind it would just fan the flames but I’m also not a firefighter so...

[@dn52n56]

Hi, No condemning ;but lots of questions. 1st, why did it take that long to assemble the FF at the front door. 2nd, what type of foam are you using and does it work better than other type's?, When they entered, they did do a quick knock down. I'm a ex navy FF and we enter all spaces with a two man intertwined. No. 1 nozzle team was the knock down and No. 2 was the spray team, They kept the heat and smoke away from the teams. I was on both teams.

[@BrianS1311]

I can't believe how long it takes to get water on and crews inside given persons were unknown.. But I must say knock down was reasonably fast and effective.

[@albertastorms]

One thing that does baffle me is with attic fires, unless it is electrical caused, what else outside of a lightning strike can cause an attic fire?

[@86medic1]

Why use ppv so soon and on the same side as the fire? Wont that just push the fire farther down the delta wall and adding so much extra air flow could potentially cause compartments to flash quicker.

[@fireman050]

great knockdown 1 question why so many quints?

[@skiqsr]

Can you apply water to the roof to cool the heat prior to entry? Water was in the hose?

[@kenziebrax]

Wow....... Did you want to see how big the fire was going to get before you began to make an interior attack?

[@WRobertson1947]

Is that a CAFS working the interior?

[@brianschafer2723]

Wtg battalion chief. Barking orders from your vehical

[@xtremeboogieman]

Kick azzz response

[@DucatiQueen]

In Germany they would have put out 3 house fires by now. Damn these people are slower than molasses in the winter 🙄

[@waysav]

10:47: The third "P" ... people, pets, photos

[@larrystultz7237]

Damn Good stop..

[@CWFDSmokeEater]

One of the most adrenaline pumping things you can see is the smoke in the air when you are on your way to a fire

[@fireboy3015]

I'm glad they were more worried about getting fans in place to feed the fire, rather than get hand lines in operation to extinguish it.

[@549BR]

Way too long to get water flowing, otherwise good save with salvage. B+ grade.

[@mikeymcmikeface5599]

Very slow!

[@raymondlaubenstein3390]

Excellent job!!

[@ParkerFire]

Great job!
