Wow! What a strong old house and the chimney stack still stood strong & proud. The builders did a great job. RIP house.

[@trxtech3010]

Those old houses are garbage and dangerously biult, now days houses are terrible too but these older ones were even worse.

[@Beachgirl1]

@@trxtech3010 Older homes are much better constructed than the garbage modern homes. Modern homes are cheap, plain, ugly and feature the godawful open floor plans. Open floor plan homes are incredibly dangerous in case of fire. Walls and doors are a must.

This House 🏠Was Definitely Well Built. By Professionals. Stone Mason's And Carpenter's, It Has Structural Integrity. You Can Tell By The Burn🔥, The Structural Framing Was Built With The Proper Seasoned Oak Lumber, And Not Dried Out Joists.

You can tell how strong the chimney is by the way it's still standing without any walls also roof around it

That was a well built house to burn that long. Also the chimney stood the test of heat that it was never supposed to be subjected to. I liked the Firenado on the A/B corner of the house. Great video.

[@jetsgardner5490]

I was amazed at how long the plywood in the lower front windows was lasting, and JUST as it started to catch, that's when you decided to move the camera.

[@leehuff2330]

For all those bashing the firefighters for "standing around", this was done at the end of a live fire training session. Landowners will donate an unwanted house for the local fire departments to use for teaching search and rescue, forcible entry, and fire attack strategies. When the planned training is done, the firemen will burn the house to the ground in order to save the owner the expense of demolition, and to ensure that a potentially unstable structure isn't left behind. The property owner has his or her own reasons for wanting the building demolished. Usually a new house has been built on a different part of the property, and there is no longer a use for the old one which may have some underlying condition that renders it uninhabitable and not worth repairing. As for letting homeless people live there, it is private property.

[@zombiegirlfanter]

The one time I see my Heros have an easy day with a fire. That chimney was definitely smokin. God Bless The Firefighters. You guys stay safe.

[@robertaverill936]

When you know there is no loss of life or possessions..a controlled burn is facinating.. Altho bittersweet as that house looked solid..probably a strip mall going on that site... And cudos to the cameraman who kept it on a tripod.. Watched it to the end.. Amazing..

I agree it looked like a pretty good ole house.

They will most likely build a Mosque there for the Muslims .

[@dugie5246]

When I was a paid FF, we had a Shift Comander that upon arrival of first unit if it was determined that structure was vacant and no exposures, and no life safety issues, it became a controlled burn. We could leave one unit with 3 personal and in about 1.5 hours be back in station, instead of tying up 12 people for 3 hours to save something that was going to be bulldozed anyway.

[@jelracer98]

I love it you can read the smoke and watch how fast it burns and all of the new people can get hands on training how to safely to attack a house fire and your fire arson investigators can track down where and how it started thank you for sharing

[@chevy266nova]

If this house could talk. I wonder what stories it could tell about the families that have lived there.The birth of the home and it's death. The first wife to walk into it, And the first baby to come home to it. I think of the bricklayer that built the Chimney. And the roofer that nailed the shingles

[@bfsgman]

It is sad to think that the craftsmanship that goes into these homes and the lives lived in them all end up lost to time. Just another reminder that everything in this world is temporary.

[@killakanzgaming]

The bricklayer certainly did a fantastic job on that chimney. Stayed standing while the rest of the house collapsed around it...

[@george8873]

People tend to assume that older houses burn slower because they're built better, which really isn't the case. Older houses tend to have more walls, more partitioned compared to newer homes that tend to favor an open floor plan. More walls means slower the burn and less overall oxygen circulation to feed the fire. Our beloved modern open floor plans makes the perfect circumstances for a quick, hot burn.

[@jays106]

kinda cool seeing the mini fire tornado at 13:25 starting

[@brianeisenga882]

40 years ago I went through training we burned 4 houses that year not only did we get experience but state police fire investigators learned how to find fire origins too. we would start them put them out state police would check them out and then burn them down the rest of the way.

Now THAT is how construction is done. Not this cheap weak garbage built today. Not sure how long that was burning before the video started but that there was a massive amount of heat inside there and it held up thru every stage of growth. I cant remember exactly, been 25 years out of the academy, but I'm pretty sure it was 7-10 minutes of direct fire exposure for the cheap tack plates holiday the roof trusses together to pop...look how long this roof made it. This must have been an amazing training day. There was so much to learn...even just from just watching the video.

[@ryanchristopherson374]

Usually, donated homes are no longer safe for occupation due to age, or code violations. The land owner could also have wanted to build a new home on the spot instead of patching up this one. Lots of valid reasons to do this kind of thing to an otherwise apparently good home.

[@murphski702]

You know, not everything can be saved. Some homes have underlying structural, code, or utility issues that would cost more than the house is worth to fix. If you want to buy that home for $10,000 and sink $200,000+ into it to fix it, then go find one.

[@mrbibstoo]

I"m confused, Headline reads "Structure Fire: Watch House Burn from Start to Finish in Live Fire Training Burn [Training Material]" So.... evidently I must have fallen asleep and missed the actual training in this video, because I didn't see a single incidence of anyone doing anything even closely resembling actual engagement in fighting or containing the fire. It was an interesting burn with a lot things going on, just no engagement. They didn't even put any water on the structure, only on the surrounding landscape.

[@dougdiplacido2406]

They did this before letting it burn completely.

[@murphski702]

They do small fires on the inside so students can get used to the heat and smoke conditions and learn how to find the seat of the fire. The house is usually donated by the owners for this purpose and is set for demolition anyway so they let it burn down when they are done. Sometimes this training lasts multiple days before they let the structure completely burn. When they burn it completely, that makes less material that the demolition and clean up crews have to remove.

[@kentcarter835]

Yes, you ARE confused.

[@lucky5853]

The wall on the side of the house that faces the wind will burn last as temps will be be lower than the rest of them.

[@thisoldminer]

What did they learn?

[@rebeccakleitz3177]

That was a lovely house. Why did you choose it to burn down? So sad when there are so many homeless people in our country.

[@HardDriveGuruOfficial]

Buildings are usually donated when the property is damaged to a point where fixing it simply isn't realistically possible. If a house is unstable enough (and you won't be able to see internal structural problems on a video like this, who knows what was going on inside?) repairing it will require a LOT of time and expensive specialist tools/labor, and there's times where so little can be salvaged that no matter what you do you'll have to replace most everything. In these situations, unless there's massive sentimental/historical/etc. value to the property the practical option is to start over. At least in this instance it was done in a way where society benefitted from the demolition. Nothing beats real-world experience when it comes to training firefighters!

[@codyking4848]

You obviously don't know jack shit about firefighting. Firefighters are not in the business of risking their lives to save your crap. They are in the business of risking their lives to save your life. There are also tons of other factors that come into play. Water supply is the biggest one... just because you have a hydrant in your front yard, doesn't mean it's operable, or puts out enough pressure for certain types of equipment. Can you tell me what the color coded fire hydrants mean? Not to mention this is slightly mistitled, the actual training was already done before the video even started, afterwards they did a controlled burn to let it burn all the way down. You should probably just shut your mouth about something you know nothing about, keyboard warrior.

[@ronaldrobertson2332]

They did. They practice interior firefighting first before lighting it off for the big burn down. And if you're such an "expert", why don't you put in an application to your local volunteer fire department and show them how it's done, "hero"?

[@JB91710]

@@ronaldrobertson2332 95% of USA departments don't listen to UL and ISFSI who are 95% correct so why would they listen to me?
