[@TheMaverick30]

[@mackflickerson6722]

Who dispatches for their department? Does Stockton have their own dispatch or is it county?

[@blakewingate3490]

Hats off to the Engineer on Engine 9. If you have never been in that situation you really don't know the stress that person is dealing with. Your truck is not working correctly, people are running up to you yelling anything and everything, crews inside and outside the structure are calling on the radio for water, in some cases if command has not arrived on scene yet then you might possibly be "Command" and are trying to wrangle incoming units to their assignments. You just have to stop, take a deep breath, remember your training, figure out the problem and form a solution. This guy did all of that and didn't waste time trying to "fix" the problem. He shut down the truck, went through his pump steps again, and still saw he had the same issue. Quickly transferred to another engine and kept the fight going. Nothing but professionals on scene that night! Great Job SFD.

[@RespectableRSYt]

Just a reminder to practice troubleshooting your pump, a good engineer can run the shit out of a pump but a great one can methodically troubleshoot a problem during a shit storm. One thing I'll say is in most cases the engine officer is command even if they are "fast attack" sometimes they will give command to another incommming truck if they are doing rescue.

[@MB12116]

@@RespectableRSYtagreed, but in this situation trouble shooting is a waste of time. Likely would take at least a minute to diagnose this issue and in Stockton a working engine is on scene by then, better off disconnecting the already pulled line and having it ready to tap into the next due engine. But agreed, they should be able to trouble shoot, just not always the best use of time. If they were in rural setting, then yes it’s much more critical.

[@bajamedic]

What an incredibly dynamic fire ground, from the high level of emotions of bystanders to having as critical of an equipment failure there is for a fire fighter. The ability to adapt and over come in a situation of this magnitude with active rescues is clearly what sets SFD apart. The presentation of the equipment failure is extremely interesting.

First engine on scene to a house fire from a bunch of squatters telling you information that’s true and untrue, necessary and noise, CAN reports to make, direction of new units until command arrives, AND your pumps fail. They did amazingly for their situation

[@cfol1382]

Great job, top to bottom. Great rescue, great knockdown through adversity, and quick response. Also, love the info as to why Engine 9 wouldn’t pump. These things seem to happen at the worst of times. Bottom line? Everyone kept there heads on and continued task at hand without missing a beat. Great job top to bottom by all involved.

@StocktonFireHistory Quick question, Where is the police department to gain control of this clusterfuck? The last thing these firefighters need are civilians getting in the way hindering their work. Firefighters have 2 jobs to do while keeping in mind their own safety. 1. Rescuing trapped victims 2. Putting out the fire/minimizing property damage 1 and 2 can't happen if you have combative civilians getting in the way.

[@rpierce62]

Firefighting is a very tough job. Add in bystanders and bad information, it can become deadly. Stockton fire has been decimated by budget cuts and local government corruption. These fine men and women are the best in the country and it shows. No wasting time, action and a plan only. Heros of the profession against all odds.

[@stefanblachmann8794]

Look at the cable. (12:50) It seems to have been twisted almost 360 degrees, with the green wire strained, apparently carrying the whole cables' weight. The constant vibration and movements made one after the next small wire strands break. When the last small wire strand broke, the engine failed. The blackened color of the cable end (no copper color) indicates that this problem developed slowly over a long time, allowing the wire strands to catch dirt and oxidize. There was either no cable strain relief or it was not attached properly. In case there is no cable strain relief, then, to minimize cable strain, it is always very important to have such cables fixated as close as possible to the cable end, to avoid straining the cables' weakest point. In industrial electronics like robotics it is common good practice to fixate such dangling cable ends, so that the weak wires not protected with the strong cable mantle are not mechanically stressed. That can be done with cable ties. I'd bind the cable to the yellow connector, for example. And, many thanks for the very informative and educative videos to the Stockton Firemen!

[@thomream1888]

Another excellent SFD video. Hey Chief - you better watch out, Hollywood is going to steal your video crew if you're not careful! And can some fire crewmember please tell me about communications: how do you use a radio with a full SCBA facemask on? PTT or VOX? Do all FF have headsets to hear comms?

[@walteralter9061]

I've seen this sort of wire break before in automotive applications. Green wire may have been "tinned" with solder to stiffen the end of the wire then pushed into a friction clip inside the connector. Rosin preparations are most commonly used in electronics as a flux to etch away surface corrosion on the wire strands and allow the solder to bond with the copper. Rosin is acidic when hot and the acid cleans corrosion from the wires. If there was heat inside the wire loom area, rosin residue may have continued to etch the wires and create a weakened point where the solder tinning ends at the insulation. The three wires going into the connector look to be hanging at a right angle to the connector, thus adding stress to the weakened point. Additionally, copper work hardens when stressed and becomes brittle. With engine vibration harmonics working upon all components of the fire truck, over time the weakened stress point in the green wire strands can part. I've had this happen where the wire insulation extended into the connector with the strands broken and invisible inside the wire covering creating an intermitant failure, a total nosebleed to diagnose.

[@VulpeculaJoy]

FIRE FIGHTER. SORRY ABOUT THE SPELLING

[@x3wildcard]

Years late but it should be known (I hope) that copper work hardens, meaning it gets brittle when force is applied to it, especially oscillating force. Your credit card does the same, if you've ever snapped an expired credit card in half by bending it back and forth you've seen the concept firsthand. I see no stress relief on those connectors. With the vibrations encountered on these rigs, I would expect these types of failures to occur with some frequence. Applying silicon to the back side of the connector can both reinforce and waterproof the wires as they enter the connector. Dab'll do ya, big gob'll screw ya.

[@thiklpet]

A question from a layman: I heard one shouldn’t spray water in a burning room because the hot steam would ‘cook’ you but in the video, firefighters used water to cool down the room. What did they mean by that? Was the room not directly on fire or did they cool from outside?

[@katiekane5247]

Creation of steam as a danger is old, incorrect info. Water cools the situation & combustible gasses. A short burst of water off the ceiling drops temps dramatically. NIST has some gr8 vids on this.

@@katiekane5247 not true I've seen several videos where the room wasn't on fire and the crews inside td outside crews to stop spraying they were being cooked in their location. Mind you the room they were in wasn't even close to the seat of the fire and wasn't on fire
