They did a decent job considering that there were fireworks. The main objective is to maintain safety while putting out the fire. With fireworks involved the firefighters had to move slower so as to minimize risk of injuries or worse. The main thing is that hopefully nobody got hurt.
The house to the left had some of the vinyl siding melt slightly so they will have to pay a deductible to their insurance company because the fire company wanted to burn the house down 5 days after the fire was put out! Just needed tearing down.
It was a fire fueled by fireworks in a wood frame home. They can't just wave a magic wand and put the fire out. They had 2-3 lines set up fairly quickly. They would have been justified to go with a defensive approach...but they chose to go with a more aggressive interior attack, putting themselves at risk. It always takes a couple of minutes for them to really get going because they have to establish a steady water supply. They also had to get through the garage doors. The fire spread from the garage to the main part of the home (not uncommon). They managed to get it under control and prevented the home from being totally engulfed. This was actually a pretty good job. Sometimes preventing the fire from taking the entire home or stopping it from spreading to adjacent homes is the best that can be done and is actually a win. That was the case in this situation. The firefighters did their job here. Those fireworks should not have been stored in the garage. They should have been stored in a detached shed in a backyard...and perhaps should not have been in a neighborhood at all. Fireworks facilities (retail shops, production facilities) are zoned to be away from neighborhoods for a reason.
I watched a controlled burn of a roach infested house..they trenched around the house added some accelerant, lit that then torched the house..Glad i wasnt their neighbor..
It's as if the firemen want the house to burn down. They don't seem to be putting it out. Lots of people, no water. Nice to see all of that expensive equipment and the house is a total loss. Could have gotten the same results without spending all of the money.

Biggest financial mistake that can be made, looked like a nice home, they had a huge amount of money tied up in illegal fireworks, home ordered burned down, insurance probably not covering the owners stupidity, and most likely have a mortgage, and facing jail time, and big fines!
problem is when loading debris into truck, then dump site, a risk is run that the unlit fire works could cause a fire in dump truck, fire in dump site or blow up when handling debris. this is the best way to make sure all fireworks are unable to cause harm to any person or property
wow this seemed really s-l-o-w response wise. wandering wandering....fitting masks....fitting again....masks off I guess because now we're fitting masks again. turn air on....is my air on? can someone check? no it's ok, i can check. yes it's on. OK, now tell me about this fire you reported.
Another example for how embarrassingly bad american firefighters are. The fire was still small, and a firefighter was already there. The house could have been saved... But no. We wait until we start putting water on the fire. These guys suck.
That first firefighter was a chief who arrived in his personal car. This is prob a volly dept where they have a long response time to get an engine with water on the scene. Not to mention their backup units are probably 15 to 25 minutes away. Only thing critique wise that i could say is getting a second line inside the house quicker but i dont know how soon their second and 3rd companies arrived there.
I hope all are safe and not injured. I am sure the husband is sick about it and will never make that mistake again.. Insurance should pay it because he paid the premiums..
Who is paying for the flooded basement in the house next door? This seems to be a terrible idea from so many aspects of safety and property protection. Regardless of the agency that organized it. It's a great watch though.
This fire was put out quickly. The fire department had nothing to do with the controlled burn other than conducting it after the ATF and bomb squad ordered it because the garage was still full of professional grade fireworks that were unstable.
This video is getting more negativity than warranted. Lots of mistakes and some lessons to learn for sure, but they stopped the fire. It wasn't a start to finish master class on structural fire fighting, but I've certainly seen much worse.
Why is it that firefighters can't have their BA on and ready to go the moment you step off the truck? Not very professional when you see the house burning and a half dozen hosers kneeling in front of the flames putting their gear on.
