Snowball Gate Dwelling Fire 4/14/23 Levittown, PA

[@Eddiecurrent2000]

I don't think I'll be calling Wayman for any fire protection any time soon...

[@garygeorge9648]

I don't think I have ever seen a ladder truck be put into action that quick before. Excellent work!

[@davidcastner921]

Uhhhh Deckguns Anyone ????😮😮

[@edbetka8749]

This department is on the ball. 1st engine in gets water on the fire,2nd engine brings in the water supply.damn fine job...

[@SkipToole]

Ironic -- Fire Protection truck parked in driveway.

[@elizabethgeorgia8286]

Wow that house is gone. Great video 🎉

[@jefflewis6412]

Why so long for the ladder to start using water? Also the deck gun would have been great use at first.

[@peterarvanitis6497]

Excellent video brother

Awesome job by all great video

[@549BR]

It sure isn't Los Angeles; they would have chainsawed thirteen holes in the roof before any water flowed.

[@robertcable6348]

I cannot believe that ladder placement at that upper window. Window was poorly installed as easily as it came off the house.

[@craigallenbaugh786]

I guess they didn’t have Wayman Fire Protection

[@mike32277]

Note the irony on the van.

[@gordonjeffery2062]

Does the aerial ladder have water capabilities? Instead of venting it should be used to cut off Fire.

[@rrobertsnot5150]

Yes about 10 minutes into the video they pumped water up the aerial to fight the fire from above

[@dmullen68]

Alot of firemen walking around doing nothing very alarming!!

[@lyndseymarieburke1834]

Why not try to save the main part of the house! What the hell is everyone pouring water on the part that is already gone? The main part of the home should have been entered and cut the fire off from there! I’m a retired fire fighter 😮 41 years of service this is a disgrace! No leadership and no training.😢 very sad.and the guy whom lives in the home dose fire protection 😮

Nice video brother

[@williamroe1226]

Notice the van in the driveway, Fire protection??

[@keithsimpson1268]

That's ashame

[@susandallessandro2905]

I laughed when I saw the fire protection truck in the driveway. I don't think I would hire them anytime soon!

This video has it all: fire protection van in driveway and Fat Pete .

[@gregsatterly9412]

The way these houses are built today is truly a shame!!! They go up so quick.

[@BenjaminEsposti]

One big issue is open floor plans. In the past, rooms were separated with doors, and if the doors are closed, the fire spread is much slower. (Also, solid wood doors better than hollow core fiberglass doors.) In an open floor plan, the heat can quickly spread throughout the house.

[@donaldpickford6887]

Those homes in levittown were built in the late 50s

[@OtissSpunkmeyer]

@@donaldpickford6887but most are all remodeled now. & like someone said. A lot of them knock down walls and open them up. Which isn’t good for fire situations.

[@radamik]

Yes. This open floor plan thing is becoming a tired cliche. I can see the dining room and kitchen being open to each other but the living room should be a separate room. It’s nice to live in rooms, not spaces. Aside from the fire risk I hate the fact that some homes now have the ambience of an office building lobby.

[@Luke.Cooking]

They need some Flexseal on that hose.

[@TomDoingItWrong]

Amazed that they made entry into an active collapse zone during operations. I wonder if a Safety Chief was on scene? I doubt that would have been permitted by FDNY or other large departments with paid staff. Ron, the structure was difficult to discern because of smoke and lighting. One end was obviously a garage, but I am wondering if there was a living area to its immediate right (as viewed from the street), and was it an 'L' shaped building attached or was that an adjacent structure unattached? Great video work.

[@rrobertsnot5150]

Thanks for your comment and that's all one house. It's the Levittown club style house has that L shape. Looks like where the double door is at top of the driveway was a garage converted to a living space.

[@DavidHorsnall]

Collapse zone? What are you talking about?!!

[@TomDoingItWrong]

@@DavidHorsnall fire managers sometimes establish a collapse zone around a building that has or is showing the possibility of collapse; e.g., FDNY regularly establishes sidewalks as collapse zones. An external collapse threat is as dangerous as an internal collapse.

[@elizabethgeorgia8286]

Why didn't they work on the house first. The other part was already gone . Hum

[@gregsatterly9412]

As much money as people spend on their homes they ought to look at materials they can use to slow or hinder the spread of a fire especially if they are building one from the ground up. I am currently having a house built and I am putting out ALOT of extra money in different materials to provide my family a safe home. I am using fire rated plywood, fire rated drywall & mud, Rokwool insulation, and stuff from Pink Wood out of Canada. No house is fireproof but my house when it is finished will not go up like these houses I have watched videos of.

Damn! Some of you armchair chiefs are brutal.

Is this bristol Township

Read the description

[@DavidHorsnall]

Big fire big lines and get rid of those nozzles. To many men standing around. Chiefs shouldn’t be pulling ceilings and venting. Gotta learn.

[@phatboizbackyardkustomz9006]

Seems like those areas up there everyone is a Chief

[@johnleck5589]

What a joke I thought there was some help when you took that Ariel out of the bed but when you’re wasting time breaking windows instead of hitting it with a master stream well y’all should’ve stayed home

[@rrobertsnot5150]

I don't think they had water supply to the tower ladder until about 8 1/2 minutes into the video.

[@harrisontiemann3276]

Where is the water?

[@rrobertsnot5150]

In the fire hose

[@rosewee67]

WOW, this operation is an embarrassment to the Fire Service. I'll be showing this to everyone at my Station as an example of WHAT NOT TO DO!!! Poor placement of apparatus, poor choice in attack lines, poor choice of ladder usage. Mistakes in ventilation, I see no accountability, no command structure, just a bunch "knife and forkers" who pretend to be Firefighters. You clowns burned this house down! The entire department (and the surrounding mutual aid depts) needs to be retrained!
