I have 1/2" inch stable braid polyester safety rope and I want a rope grab device to use on steep roofs to do roof work I want it to " lock" while I am doing work with both hands in a specific roof location. If I slip and otherwise would slide off the roof. would this device catch my fall and work for me ? I need to walk up and down the roof frequently to get to new places to work. Will the rescuender work if I get a proper harness ?
Currently going through pump ops now! I been driving and pumping for 8 years, now they want us to have the class 😑 I’m halfway through and these videos have helped me understand a little better. A good resource to recap the days teaching! Thank you from Florida!
What do you mean by the chemical chain reaction sir, there is an exact proportion of the elements to support the combustion? I hope to notify this question sir please 🙏.
Volunteer firefighter here! Thank you so much! I’m currently preparing for my mod 3 in essentials and your videos are helping so much! Achieved mods 1 and 2 but due to life it’s been about 4 years since!
Retired paramedic, volunteer FF here. I just came across this. Wondering what kind of wizardry this is? Or did the firefighters just use special fans to extract the flames? Still they’d have to get inside and kill the hot spots. Unless the city said, “fugit abuot it” 😂 I saw a fire break out once, near my office. It was an old factory where some junkies sometimes gather, so it naturally went up one day. There is a big heavy gate at the entrance of the yard with heavy steel bars and barbed wire. People from aroun the yard tried to open it before the firefighters came, so they had an easier job, but no one could open it, and there is a metalworking factory near it. Angle grinders, saws, nothing could cut it. The junkies used a small hole to get in. Haxomen: The firefighters came, took out some contraption and took the fire out through one of the windows of the factory. Using the Bernoulli principle. They never entered the yard. The fire raged 20 minutes and was done in 5 minutes after they came.
Knowledge is passed on that may be video from years ago but to a newbie is extremely informative and valuable. I’ll be viewing your later work, and you, sir, are a great instructor; concise, good visuals, and great execution and content. Many thanks! 😊👍👍👍
I (respectfully) COMPLETELY disagree with you on your training premise. I have worn MANY helmets in my life. Hockey, adventure, ballistic in military and police, hang gliders, motorcycles, USAF pilot training, etc… the fact that you train in a different helmet then the one you fight in is BS. Multiple evolutions? Yeah… they suck ass! I know. Trust me. But if you have to change the way you train vs. a real live event just to meet a mark set by the department then that says something about everything y’all are doing and someone is eventually going to get hurt. Train like you fight and you will fight like you have trained. There is simply no excuse otherwise. I was on the street as a patrol cop for almost 13 years in a major city. And I promise you that it was this mentality I credit as to why I and many others are still alive today. Train in one kit but expect to excel under pressure in a completely different kit???? Really???? You’re not a “professional athlete”. You aren’t playing a game. Real people expect you to save their real lives. This whole video just gives me the creeps
Good insight Matt. I do a lot of thinking on leadership. I think leadership, as a concept, is often done a disservice by not being given fertile soil in which to grow. Society has become fond of lamenting the death of effective leadership (we all do it) while seeming to only offer self-help-style leadership books and pseudo-empowering RU-vid videos and seminars as the solution. We are under the spell of these external "solutions" while, as you say, the answers are right there under our noses. I couldn't agree more. Good leadership comes from one thing: A good leadership culture. Without a culture that truly embraces (and expects) leadership from the very beginning of one's career, there will be no actual leadership--just a constant search, and a lot of badmouthing along the way. Anyway... Good video. Feel free to reach out if you ever want to chat.
We learned this in basic. We talked about not breaking windows until it is needed. Using our stream when we need to evacuate smoke. Both from inside and from outside the structure.
So in theory If you were to kick a door open, the intake of air will cause the flame to increase in size right? Do to more airflow flowing in and filling the void
Thank you , exactly what I was looking for, the prusik capture system. I will use this for solo hunting and pulling deer up hills and out of creeks....thanks again.
When you explain using the 246810 you were x the ist digit x the number in you hands. Here you did not use the coefficient. Confused, or maybe I am just stupid♑️♎️♐️🈚️
Not quite. The 100-200 is just the GPM from whatever nozzle you are using. Once you know what your GPM is, you then use the corresponding muliplier and multiply by “12”. Hope that helps. That will give you the FL per 100’.
The article containing the compiled data of people who've died on a rope. He mentions that it's published on the web, and it must've grown in the last 11 years. I don't suppose anyone can point me in the correct direction? I cannot seem to find that article anywhere.
Oh thank the lord! This is the first load out video that I’ve seen where there isn’t a tourniquet attached to the outside of the bag, but absolutely no other trauma gear. Thank you for not wasting space with a tourniquet that you’ll never use during SAR.
Excellent training video! Dragging a ladder seems like a good way to destroy it, but it's better to destroy a ladder than to arrive at a rescue 5 seconds too late. A ladder mover might be the answer to the question that no one asked.
Hey just wanted to say this was very helpful currently a recruit for a volunteer department starting the fire academy this in august learning how to throw ladders and the parts of a ladder now with my crew so thats one less thing I have to worry about in the academy but thank you for sharing this video
Nice work. You guys did one hell of a job with 3 people, 1 hoseline and horizontal ventilation. I like how you asked the occupant the layout of the home as well as if anyone is in there. Great work telling the nozzle to wait until you got to the seat of the fire. Thank you for the video and great training.
Reading through a Fire Dynamics textbook and a lot of the points didn’t click until I watched your video. Very informative and precise and the real world examples you use are great. Thank you.
