I was detailed to Engine 10 at corner of Ridgeway & Dewey in Rochester, NY.... During shift change E10 was dispatched, and the Chauffeur (Charlie Sherwood) from the previous tour was still hanging out. The call comes in and Charlie says: “That’s a White House with blue shutters. There’s a one story brown house next to it, and we caught a fire at the green house down the street - 117 I think - last month. There is a hydrant right across the street.” I thought he was BULLS$&TING. He WASNT. He knew his district that well!!! RIP Charlie Sherwood, it was a pleasure knowing you and working with you.

I live in the area of this department, I wanna give out some key points that I didn’t see pointed out, 1. This is a very rural area, hydrants are very rare, I’m not sure if he was getting water from a tanker or what. 2 this houses driveway was super long, so He had to run with that supply line all the way down the driveway. 3 this crew was a 2 man crew I believe, and they had that lined pulled within one minute and 30 seconds of being on scene. This is a great department and deserve way more respect.

Radiocomms can also be performed by the crew on a seperate vehicle, like the "ELW - Einsatzleitwagen" or just command vehicle in english. We have one at all bigher stations in our rural area, which solely does radio with dispatch and all Captains on scene and also does management stuff like coordinating vehicles and crew and so on. Those are the guys that usually know everything on scene. Getting water to the engine is usually the task of the "Wassertrupp" or water squad.

[@thatguy2224]

It was my favorite job. When I got hired full time I had 2 years of volunteer experience and 1 year of federal wildland experience. I got promoted to driver while still in my one year probationary period as nobody else at my station was really seeking to move up. I had alot of responsibility as a 21 year old "kid". I can remember my first fire on the nozzle and my first one on the pump. There is alot of work to be done. First and foremost if you don't make it there safely then you haven't done your job. Make sure we have all the hose off and flaked out. Get them water at the right pressure for the stretch. Secure a water supply. Get tools staged at the front door along with a venitlation fan nearby, Water cooler (and it better have ice water) staged on the front bumper with cups. Monitor radio traffic. Get incoming engines whatever tools they need off my truck and make sure I get it back.

[@Biffo1262]

The vast majority of UK firefighters are also driver/pump operator/radio operator/Stage 1 BA entry control (if necessary); a multi-talented role. We don't have dedicated drivers. Most qualify as drivers about the four to five year mark and take driving duties by daily rota. That way all operational firefighters are 100% familiar with the role. The system works well but even so there are times when drivers are thin on the ground. On the odd occasion I've had to take on the driving role as well as being OIC and then on arrival a none driver has taken over the operation of the pump and radio comms which EVERY UK Firefighter is qualified to do without exception. Hydrants in the UK are generally about 200ft apart in urban areas so that means you are rarely any more than two hose lengths from a mains supply. Whether than mains supply is any good is another matter but shipping a standpipe into another hydrant on the same poor main is counter productive. That situation is rare in urban areas but quite common in rural areas. However the location of all open water supplies is mapped out and available on local pumps, control units or from the brigade control room. Even private swimming pools are listed and can be used law for firefighting. Indoor pools have to have a fire brigade outlet. Topography and water supplies are high on the training agenda for probationary firefighters and teaching them the tricks of pumping from shallow streams was one of my more pleasurable training drills. The look of amazement when you get a large jet to work from what looks like a drainage ditch makes me smile no end. Things like that aren't Inthe Manuals but once learned are never forgotten and passed on by the same people when they are in supervisory rank. Best job in the world.

Let's not forget one thing... When you hear "Newark OH command", that fire is getting its ass KICKED

[@tetsuclaw]

In 2018 I had an arsine set fire to my back deck. A dog walker saw the smoke and called 911 really early at the start and paired with the quick response of my local fire department they were able to put out the fire before it spread to the house. My deck was the 3rd one hit in a row in a chain of arsines. I lost my BBQ in the fire but it was just a cheap charcoal one and there was no propane tank to worry about and insurance was able to take care of the deck at the end. I still have pictures of the damage and from when the fire department was spraying extra water to ensure the fire was out. With the design of my deck it has a privacy wall side that is all wood and on the section that was furthest away from the house it was fully engulfed up to the top and the fire was higher than the house. The fire department started putting the fire out when the wood right up to the brick of the house was catching fire at the bottom. If the fire department got here perhaps 60 seconds later it likely would have moved into the house, it is really scary how fast fire can be, all the warnings about it are no joke at all. We believe that the fire started at the bottom back support posts of the deck as that part had the most fire damage and that was the only part where the wood was fully burned through. There is no way my BBQ started the fire with a stray ember as it happened a few weeks after the last time I used it. The fires were happening between 6am to 8am in the morning on a weekend morning just about every weekend with my deck being the 3rd deck to be set on fire in the area so all signs indicate it was arsine. In the end I am very thankful and appreciative of my local fire department and I understand that it is a hard job both physically and mentally. Sadly the person setting the fires still had not been caught yet but the fires did stop after my deck. Perhaps whoever was doing it got scared off from doing it again. At least no one got hurt. If you want to see the pics let me know and I can upload them to imgur and post a link of the damage and the new deck after it was rebuilt.

One thing you didn’t state was that this was a rural fire. When you talked about hydrants and the possibility of them not being working or needing an alternate water supply, you also have to consider that in this scenario, he was prepping for a tanker to arrive and set up a pool. Great video though!

[@rp1645]

Thank you for all your great knowledge, talking about what it takes to be a Driver of Fire Rigs. The supply line he pulled off back, looks like he was pulling to Road for next Tender/ Tanker or water backup supply. This area looks like it doesn't have Hydrant's on street. Country remote area. Probably home on well. ( If people build out in NO water mains on streets. Build a portable TANK with a Fire Department 2-1/2 Discharge fitting, with FD threads. ( Build your OWN water stand pipe system. With all the plastic or cow watering tanks on market now. Very inexpensive to do. Just my Humble opinion, or buy a used Fire Engine, ( some go really cheaply in the $1000 about) that has a water tank that doesn't LEAK. The pump doesn't even have to work, just have it for standby storage of 500 to 750 gallons, you just flush out water every so often. If you have a POOL buy a small water pump ( Harbor Freight) with FD threads, to draft out of pool for fire protection of your property. In remote areas FD will NOT be to you quickly. Build your own Fire Department. What can you do as property owner to Prevent a Fire spread on your structures.

On our department the pump operator also has the duties of maintaining accountability until additional manpower shows up….as any one who’s ever done the job knows it can be a stressful fast passed first few minutes of a working call.

[@mightymystery9204]

That was educational and instructive. In our local department, the engineer may show up chauffeur style, not in turnout gear, but with it available, so that he is not tempted to forget his primary mission--support, not attack--but may change roles if exigency occurs. [This is in line with the policy that the Bn Chf not get far from his vehicle: you can't do your job if you get sidetracked into another one.] I must say that a great deal of what that engineer did was not common in an urban department, as water supply is not likely to be lost suddenly, and a second alarm crew may be only five minutes away. I do appreciate you mentioning tactical and situational awareness, because the key to effectiveness is readiness, to which the key is anticipation. In that regard, the good engineer does not get tunnel vision. One other part about pressure monitoring is that it can be an important safety indicator, as when pressure readings on one outlet suddenly surge or plunge. All in all, this was an excellent presentation.

NFPA says greatest home fire risk is in Detroit, which also is verified as the city whose average for fire calls per house is the highest in the Nation. I got no data for brush fire calls for a city, but LA County seems to have the most brush fires, steadily worsening since 2000. Drier weather, higher temperatures, and increasing populations, coupled with an unfortunate decline in safety consciousness, as well as an increase in the appetite for sensationalism and excitement, regardless of source, which has increased the incidence of arson, all are factors in this rise.

Fooled me on that one. Saw Jason Patton from FDC(Fire Department Chronicles/ Fire Department Coffee) thinking this vid was an FDC vid. Still educational though.

[@lukeeastwood948]

I'm currently 15 and have wanted to be a firefighter on and off since I was 4. Recently my interest in fire fighting has peaked again and I think for good this time, should I start studying in my free time or is it too unnecessary at the moment? I'm pretty sure my school has classes for fire fighting, the police force, military etc but I will have to take those classes next year as I am already doing multiple engineering classes this year.

[@jordans1917]

Take those classes man! Use all your resources, and usually if you learn about something you’d want to do it more or you’d learn if you really want to do it!

Peeped the brief clip of AFC rookie school “live nozzle retrieval” drill

Once, I saw a driver pull 4 100ft sections of 4 inch soft suction hose on his own to get water on scene.

Yes the Pump Operator(Engineer or what ever you call the position) works the hardest out of anyone the first 15-20 minutes on the fire scene.

Retired as a Engineer/paramedic, best job on the department

@@andypressley4702 I believe for obvious reasons, that the Lord has a special place for firefighters. Not only do they show the Greater Love, but they knock down His enemy's trademark, and spread the trademark of baptism. They are a sermon every time they go to work. God bless the firefighters!

[@kenbrown2808]

@@emmanuelawosusi3276 fdny probably has the most call volume. Calfire probably has the most wildland response. Really, though it's a question of service area. The bigger the agency the more call volume, unless there is something wrong with the citizenry.

The engineer should also be reading the smoke patterns the color as well and directing incoming apparatus until the chief can get on scene

[@MarinePigVa]

Did Chief Decker retire? Haven't seen a video lately.

[@84953]

bY NOW ALMOST EVERYONE NOWS THE tv SH0W "Emergency" I got a little interested in what some of the responsibilities are for the engineer. Now if I understood it correctly the engineer is not only responsible for much of what you have mentioned but also are responsible for inspections and some repairs of the whole water system on the truck. That is of course LACFD and there are a lot of differences with FDs.

Love the thumbnail of Jason pulling some zzzz's!

[@markbenn1907]

Those joke videos mixed in are so freaking funny

[@joep7015]

I also love the videos! Thanks!

The most valuable player at a garage fire is the one that jams a 6ft plaster hook in the door track as soon as it opens.

What a legend

You know they are good when they operate a rescue engine

[@claudioderisola5913]

the engineer job ends not when the job is done but when he get the safely crew back at the station!

[@jed-henrywitkowski6470]

Fire fighters make great lovers because the are good at identifying other points of ingress!

I would argue that the hardest working firefighters are Hotshots...
