@andrewswan6859 I'm sure they do but would rather save the extinguishers for a life and death situation. Just use the water can off the fire truck where it can be refilled and charged at the station and placed back in service within a couple of minutes.
Any idea what caused that I saw a propane torch sitting on the ground They looks so small you could have stepped on them to put them out You do a great job Ron I enjoy seeing what my brothers are up to
Great video Ladder 21 in action. That 1997 HME looks great even though it’s old and it’s from the 1990’s, but great work on this piece. I’m a fan of HME fire apparatus to be honest.
My brother was the one who was hit. I’m in the video as well. The article popped up in my FB memories. Funny, we didn’t even realize someone was filming us
Huh? Overhead wires???? You mean the wires on utility poles To the right? It's a 100' ladder. I'm sure the ladder goes up straight and can rotate and can easily hit the dwelling with a master stream thats 25 yards away. I guess I got to go back to ladder operations.
@@virgilhilts3924 saving a house fully involved? But ok , but I'm embarrassing myself haha, obviously you can't size up a incident scene. That house is a total loss . Safety of fire personnel is priority #1. It was an exterior fight, quickest way to knock down the fire is big amounts of water, not hand lines, fire was already threw the roof.
That house was really cooking, hopefully the firefighter who was injured made a quick recovery. Thank you to all firefighters everywhere for protecting the citizens of your coverage area.
Yes. First in truck 500 gal. tank went in-service with 2 1/2" line 1 1/8" smoothbore. WE were flowing around 220 to 250 gpm. 2nd line off was a 1 1/2" to the garage and 3rd line was 1 3/4 to the up stairs. As soon as we received hydrant water all other lines were charged. There was a 4th 1 3/4" pulled too that was used later on.
@@mikehoysler4322 Wires were on that side. We did talk real fast about swinging the main under the wires. But the crews from 6,8,21,9 are pretty aggressive and we knew we were going in and getting it.
I'm not sure but it took them a while to put it out because it kept flaring back up. Something about an oven used for chemicals made it difficult for them to get it out.
@bkane573 I just heard it was Dow Chemical on George Patterson Blvd running parallel to Route 413. I read online it was a chemical oven in a research lab.
Great video of Engine 7, Ladder 2, and South Battalion in action, dude. The Q and horn on Engine 7’s old 1993 KME and Ladder 2’s 1997 Simon Duplex are just great. Keep up the amazing work, buddy. You are doing a fantastic job on this response videos
Situations like this are why I have felt for a long time that power companies should have code 3 response vehicles, or code 3 escorts. This particular fire isn't that bad, but many devastating fires have been caused by downed power lines, and the longer you wait for the power company the worse it gets.
10:57 you know what is one neat trick I just discovered? If you vividly know the Best of 2012 video you know after this scene next is 0:01 . XD, that's kinda cool and funny, it's like you're watching part of the best of 2012 video, haha.
