[SEATTLE HEAVY RESCUE RESPONSE] - Car crashed into RESTAURANT | Seattle Fire Department

Heavy Rescue call for the Seattle Fire Department, Police and AMR after a person drives his car directly into an asia restaurant in Seattle's International District/Chinatown on Maynard Avenue and King Street at about 2:20pm on June 22nd 2018.
I was at Fire Station 10, which is nearby to the scene, when the call came in. From Station 10 Aid Unit 10, Engine 10, Ladder 1 and Aid Unit 5 responded, Engine 5 can also be heard responding two blocks away to the scene. On my way to the location indicated by "Pulse Point" Battalion 2 and Aid Unit 14 were caught as well. After that the Technical Rescue Team with Rescue 1 and Ladder 7, which are rarely seen en-route and especially on scene, arrived.
Fortunately, no one was injured and the most units could leave the scene within half an hour. The Technical Rescue Team stabilized the old house with wooden beams after the incident.
Because some of the eyewitnesses mentioned in their 911-calls, the car driver maybe smashed the restaurant on purpose, the incident caused a massive police response too. In the last few months this was a "common" kind of terrorist attack, in this case it was luckily not!

To all the people, who think there were to many emergency responders sent to the scene: How should the dispatcher know, what the scene looks like? A car vs. building incident could also be a partial collapse of the structure with many trapped people. It could also be a terror attack with gunmen still running around. Please keep that in mind before commenting it is "over the top". Thank you!

Thank you

Better safe than sorry

[@tomcayemberg4529]

They prefer many hands at the start and then scale back as the situation becomes known

[@rolandmiller5456]

You know that as well as I do there's a whole lot of KZbin fire chiefs around here rescue and they all think they know how to do their job better than the professionals

[@WangBaiTe]

In most Belgium the strategy is the other way arround: Always send in an initail team of 1 engine, 1 ladder, one signals car (to block traffic) and the officer in initial charge (later on the chief will also arrive and take over). If need be the operation is scalled up thus avoiding too many units being sent out that could be kept in reserve in case of.. Over here 112 (the Belgian version of 911) is trained to ask as many questions as possible to make a very good estimate of what will be needed. Very often they will also get multiple calls at the same time for incidents like this and then the information of the different 112 agents is combined to get a very good picture.

Great video! I'm from around the Seattle area, I did see this on the web camera but I wasn't able to see anything like this on scene! I subscribed!

[@Firescue112]

Thank you very much! Yes I was just a few blocks away, when the call came in :D Thanks for your sub, this weekend I'll publish something else from the Seattle Area, stay tuned ;)

One thing I’ve noticed. In Seattle like. Forbidden? From using the yelp tone on their Motorola sirens?

Great catch! Keep up the great videos on KZbin! Greetings from Owensboro!

[@ZacharyHankins]

Wow, that is a nice station.

[@seattlearearesponses]

Yeah station 10 in the international district

[@dbyers3897]

This station is the emergency management operations center for the city & was built to survive serious quake damage.

[@seikibrian8641]

I love those bay doors at Station 10. In the event of a power failure they're very easy and very fast to open by hand.

[@JMarieCAlove]

I saw another video from Seattle where a car fully crashed inside of a Chinese restaurant and injured a few people. It was a total accident but that’s odd how another Asian restaurant was crashed into. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@craigclaassen7346]

The first officers to arrive on scene, should have assessed the situation quickly and then stood down any further resources not required for this event. Or kept them responding if they were actually required.

[@dbyers3897]

What's the hurry? Dispatch protocols were followed & units released once the IC was sure they were no longer required. A quick size-up is required for deteriorating scenes such as structural fires with exposures or multi-casualty incidents. There was time at this incident to carefully assess the situation & check in depth for any potential ongoing hazard such as structural damage or missing persons, etc.

[@einsatzfahrtenrheinland]

Sehr geiles Video, ist es in Amerika eigentlich erlaubt an Einsatzstellen Aufnahmen zu machen, sprich zu Gaffen ?

[@Firescue112]

Ich würde das filmen an Einsatzstellen nicht mit dem negativen Sinn von Gaffen gleichsetzen. Es kommt ja immer auf die Hintergründe an, warum eine Person das macht. In der Beschreibung meinte ich ja, dass einige Einsatzkräfte eine ordentliche Footage also einen kurzen Überblick über die Einsatzstelle sogar gut fänden. Und ich dokumentiere ja nur die Arbeit, Einsatzfahrzeuge und Schäden und geile mich daran nicht auf, mache Selfies und ergötze mich an der Person, die ihren PKW verloren hat und an der Person, die jetzt hoffentlich nicht ihre Existenzgrundlage, das Restaurant, verliert. Generell kann man aber sagen: In den USA ist es genauso wie in Deutschland nicht verboten, so etwas zu filmen, es sei denn der Bereich wird gesperrt. Das war hier gar nicht der Fall.

[@einsatzfahrtenrheinland]

Genau, ich meine jetzt auch das Gaffen, nicht das dokumentieren.

[@Firescue112]

Gaffen ist genau so ein Problem wie in Deutschland. Ich habe auch eine Familie gesehen, die sich vor dem Unfall fotografieren ließ. Unglaublich sowas!

Ah thanks

[@shaneharrisnj3484]

​@@alarmoffice711 yup, a 1991 or so model rig that has a bunch of stuff that's too long to list. But it has an Aerodynic light bar and (just like a lot of Seattle trucks...) a Motorola Spectra siren.

[@randybaker9265]

Why 2 ladders at a scene of a car into a building. I don't get it .

[@dbyers3897]

Standard dispatch protocol for any reported structural incident in case people must be evacuated in a timely manner. Get it?

My reason to the crash in restaurant: "Dammit!:

[@scotts2223]

nice video, I just love multiple sirens in a downtown of a major city so loud and echoes, coming from Dallas Tx I miss the action of sirens in the distant on a almost daily occurrence, I'm now a first responder on the Winslow Ne Volunteer Fire Dept. for over 2 years, the most gratifying experience in my life and love every minute of it, I will do it again anywhere without hesitating, not getting paid is not the reward hard to explain unless you are part of it.

The traffic in Seattle looks just as bad as it is in NYC

[@dbyers3897]

It is. I-5 at rush is a parking lot.

[@KINGMAC234]

It most be really bad

[@Firescue112]

Somehow yes. No one was injured badly, but I hope for the owner of the restaurant, he can open it again soon and has a good insurance!

[@nicholaskarnani3182]

I tbought the TTL was only used for high rise incidents

[@emergencyvehicletesting]

All of Seattle Fire's ladder trucks are tillers. The ladders here are outdated. L1 was using the reserve and Rescue 1A (aerial) is also usually a reserve. L7 was also using a reserve.

[@dbyers3897]

A TDA (tractor drawn aerial) truck is a highly maneuverable vehicle which is costly but popular in urban areas with heavy traffic &/or tight streets. It may be dispatched to any incident for possible extrication, horizontal or vertical ventilation, search & rescue, or technical rescue operations such as high-level rope rescue or building collapse. The training & equipment is essentially similar to any truck or rescue company.

[@christian-jakobgrasl]

sau geiles video ! aber so viele fahrzeuge für so einen knaller, wir in wien fahren das mim HLF alleine und einen rettungswagen mit nef :-) die amis immer gleich so viel hinschicken gg :-) ! trotzdem sau geile fahrzeuge und super video hammer !

[@Firescue112]

Vielen Dank! :) Aber ich glaube das ist schon ein kleines Vorurteil, dass in Amerika immer gleich "alles" geschickt wird. Zu normalen Feueralarmen fahren zum Beispiel oft nur ein Löschfahrzeug, manchmal auch ein LF und ein Ladder Truck, aber gerade an der Westküste ist es ganz selten, dass mal mehr fährt. Im Osten der USA ist das glaub ich anders, aber da habe ich keine persönlichen Erfahrungen. Im Gegensatz dazu in Österreich und Deutschland: BMA = Löschzug (zumindest bei den BFs meistens) Und in diesem Fall wäre sicher auch in Wien erstmal groß alarmiert worden, denn es war gemeldet, dass ein Auto in ein Restaurant gerast ist. Initial wurde sogar von einem Vorsatz ausgegangen, also mit der Absicht, Leute zu verletzen. Wenn der Disponent hier nur ein HLF alarmiert, wäre das schon grob fahrlässig. Die Rüsteinheit der BF Seattle (Rescue 1 + Ladder 7) fährt übrigens nicht mal täglich, obwohl jeden Tag Einsätze geschehen, wo man durchaus mal einen Rüstwagen alarmieren könnte (etwa Verkehrsunfälle mit mehreren Fahrzeugen). Daher fand ich das Aufgebot für die erste Meldung echt angemessen und es konnten die ersten Fahrzeuge ja auch schnell wieder fahren :)

[@nicholaskarnani3182]

Gosh so many pumps for a car accident in the UK a max of 2 pumps or even 1.each pump Carey's a crew of 4

[@2olvets443]

1st the one is a Heavy Rescue. I assume the reason for the not needed trucks are because of man power and you want the personal that go to a truck to have that truck with them. Remember this a a paid dept and If you looked at the numbers on those trucks they don't carry large crews.

[@malcolmmarshall4371]

Nicholas Karnani we have the same view never understood why a high rise ladder goes to a rat

bit of an over the top response

[@Firescue112]

How should the dispatcher know, what the scene looks like? Car Vs. Building could also be a partial building collapse with many trapped people. Or it could be a terror attack with gunmen still running around. You don't know that so you cannot judge this as "over the top".

[@Firescue112]

​@@orangesquirrel1408 You don't really have an idea of the job, do you? Those people who call are often very upset and can rarely describe exactly what is happening. And in doubt you better don't trust the caller. Because... if it is worse than described, and they don't have enough manpower on scene to save lives it is you who could lose your job. Because in this case it is the dispatcher, who failed. Don't judge them, because if you need urgent help you would be grateful for every responder on scene. Thanks again.

[@orangesquirrel1408]

@@Firescue112 I get that and I do understand that but the car is hardly damaged the shop is hardly damaged that can be obtained in a call, I just struggle to understand how you would come to the decision you need to send the whole station. I also have 15 YEARS experience... I understand more services the better but when it compromises someone else's life down the road it is a bad call. The firefighters do an amazing job all over the world along with police and medics this is the main thing.

[@Firescue112]

@@orangesquirrel1408 But the thing is: You don't know Seattle FD's policies. And if some stranger calls in, that some car has driven into a building, you can't just say if this structure is may be damaged worse, than visible at first sight. And that's the risk. In Downtown Seattle there are many fire stations and lots of ressources for other critical calls at the same time PLUS most of the units were released from the scene within minutes. Just the Heavy Rescue team had to make sure, that the structure is secured by shoring it up with wooden stakes. I really can't understand why so many people here criticize the deployment of the emergency services to be honest.

[@heeell]

Why use a Ladder truck on a car accident? Theres no make any sense.

[@JPyo365]

Dispatcher doesn't know the intensity of the scene. Car vs building MVA's could mean the building is collapsing or at risk of collapsing and that is where the ladder truck personnel would be able to assist in S&R procedures, etc.
