St. Louis Fire Department 1st Alarm; 05-16-14(2)

[@billtefft4315]

This explains why there are so many burned out buildings when driving through St Louis.

[@trvman1]

From the time you see both ladders, it was 12 minutes before you see a second ladder stream on the fire. Who knows if this was edited it very well may have been longer then that.

5-16-14 or 7-19-21 , ? I am not sure if this was lost video or history of this building and Fire dept.

[@ronbradley5631]

St. Louis F.D. sure does like to burn stuff down. I haven’t seen them save a structure or even attempt an interior attack yet.

[@terryvann2454]

Very poor use of elevated streams!

Statler" Why is the guy in charge wearing a coat with CHEF on it" Waldorf" You old fool it's because he let the place burn" Statler "Makes sense I suppose" AAHAHAHAHAH!!

Probably

It was a Training Exercise and they all got an 'F' on the Test.

A heavy downpour could be a fire department's best friend.

[@timattridge9321]

Why is the ladder last to be set up??

[@chrisportell2496]

Why are these videos from years ago and only came out 2 or 3 months ago. You have fires almost everyday/night.

[@Blazefork]

A couple 2 1/2" hand lines or an engine deck gun could have sure been lobbing water while they got the sticks in the air. Looks like they finally got one in operation several minutes in.

[@MeirLichtenstadter]

Why do they always go with them exterior attack versus an interior? I think they gotta go take training from the FDNY

[@sparknationz7118]

The reason is to prevent any firefighters from getting hurt. At any point in time the roof could collapse causing those inside to get seriously injured or some to even die. the FDNY has more high rise buildings and such and thus they cannot do exterior fire attacks due to the height of the buildings, which some ladder trucks wouldn’t be able to reach nor the master stream.

[@sparknationz7118]

@Jamie W even though it may be vacant you still have spotters and hobos and crap that still have the possibility of being inside. If the building is deemed unsafe to enter, they aren’t gonna go in anyway. If it is deemed safe and nothing leads to a sign of structural collapse, they will still search JUST in case

[@richardfissel3317]

Right on.👍👍

[@lindahoff7391]

@@sparknationz7118 So spotters, whatever they are, and hobos can't run away from a fire?

WHY is the Tower being Deployed?

[@bobrosso9147]

why ISN'T it

[@daveu88sanderson8]

Organised chaos, poor use of resource.

[@NiSt1975]

Ladder truck should of been in operation once it arrived on scene! I see all these videos where ladder trucks are not put into operation first due engine and ladder should go to work asap! Second due engine feeds ladder and sub engines should go for the windows and other things

[@jamesnoonan2009]

I wish you focused more on the fire trucks, I watch these types of videos for the units involved not the actual fire

[@beckytwister01]

You must be the life of the party. Boring. These are fire videos. Not fire truck videos.

[@gusbailey68]

You need to look for response vids, not fire vids.

the hose they had above the front window why was that there....all it did was knocks bricks off the building!

It looks to have been punching through to the attic.

[@timattridge9321]

I’m a moron and i see this is terrible!

[@upinthetrees]

Looks like St. Louis F.D. is saving one basement at a time. Please have the P. D. shoot out the windows with bean bag rounds so straight streams can get at the fire from underneath. Damn.

Piped in air pack alarm ruins video

[@red55chief]

You think its fake. I think that they leave them on when then aren’t using them. Too lazy/uncaring to close the valve on the bottle. Shows a lapse in leadership too.

[@mike12b41]

They automatically turn on when you turn your air bottle on and can only be turned completely off when you turn your air off

[@red55chief]

Yeah, that’s the way it works. So what’s the problem with turning off the air bottle?
