Episode 6 - 55 Box - Bladensburg Company 9 

... I agree that maybe some windows were excessively "messed up with", but I see things differently than most critics here in the comments. Lots of ground ladders raised, quick hose line deployments, lots of hustle...

Nice episode of the Volunteer fire company.

This was worth the wait excellent episode!!! My favorite so far!

these volunteers did a better job than a lot of paid dept's

Best one so far!

Love the action in the video, very interesting to see what happens when a call comes in. By the way, whoever made that intro needs a raise

0:40 i love that loud detroit

Great Video. Great Work.

my dept doesnt allow going into the fire floor with a dead line but hey every dept has thier own way of doings things great job all in all!

Good commentary, nice to know what they are doing and how they prioritise what they're doing - nice vid keep em coming!

Fire department or demolition company...?

Lots of negative comments! But I guarantee these guys have more working fires in a month than any other commentator has in a year.

Let's arrive on scene and smash out every window and feed the fire a ton of oxygen before knocking fire down. Lucky the fire didn't get out of control adding all that oxygen not to mention causing way more damage.

Great job guys. Fast attack

I like the Camara on the side of the firetruck

Great video and sweet intro! Nice job.

I may be wrong but doesn't it seem like they are just excessively destroying windows? They probably know what they're doing, but I think they over exaggerated the number of windows they needed to destroy. Great video though!

nice hustle

Loved at the end when the narrator said "what looks to be chaos was a well choreographed..." Oh no, it was chaos!

Ya lets just break glass with all these guys below me!

Nice

Fire recruit here, literally every few seconds in this video I'm seeing something being done that I was specifically instructed *never* to do. Makes me a bit apprehensive thinking about who I might be working with in the future...

how can u find out which station a fire chief works for. his first name is mike I'm not sure how to spell his last name but I'll try mikje macollitt

This was the live rescue before the actual live rescue

Robert Taylor do you even fire bro?

anybody know what model light is on the side of the truck in the beginning of the episode? (0:32-1:00)

When you going to come down to west Lanham 48 and 28 and catch some fire

There is a big list of things that I don't agree with here and go against my training. As bad as it may be, instead of bashing them, consider that they are volunteers and probably don't get the training that most paid department get. Point out stuff constructively and hopefully it will make a difference for the future and they can learn from it. Leave some explanations on here about why they should do things different. Give a man a fish he eats for a day. Teach him to fish, he eats for life. Lets make each other better rather than see how much better we are.

I don't even care where theses guys are, the dude driving truck 9, rolling down the road code, with a cigarette. You are alright in my book brother! Carry on!!

Can someone tell if they were training at the Morris county fire academy on Tuesday?

4:16 the roto-ray on the ladder truck is spinning....I thought they were supposed to shut off when the rig isn't in gear, for safety reasons?

I don't know who is directing and controlling command, but will say everyone is doing something whether its ordered or not I have not a clue!

This was the worst fireground tactics I have ever seen! "let's go smash every window in the building and cause thousands of dollars of damage for a small bedroom fire." not to mention by taking every window in a building is dangerous as it will create a flow path and worsen the fire by allowing air to enter and feed the fire. and they look like a bunch of bozos walking around the scene with waist straps hanging and half ass PPE, no seatbelts enroute, smashng windows above other firefighters heads with no warning. The list goes on. Just brutal!

Screwed up address, sounds like Warren County, NJ's public safety dictasters son who is lucky someone wasn't killed doing the same garbage. Nice show!

Is one of the Firefighters a window salesman? Just curious if the Lou sells home security equipment like say bars for windows? Sorry i just can't stop!

Advancing an uncharged hoseline? Risky stuff. Shortcuts like that can cost you your life.

What was that woman screaming about around 3:45?

This is horrific. 1. life safety 2. instant stabilization 3. PROPERTY CONSERVATION. With very little smoke showing, why would you cause thousands dollars of damage when you could simply open the window? Second, at 4:29 and several other moments, their waist straps are hanging. That is a lack of training. That could get someone entangled and is setting a bad example. At 1:42 they arrive and again, the lack of care for the PPE is horrible, as it is slamming the side of the truck possibly damaging it. That could cause life safety issue if this was a big incident. This is one of the worst channels and some of the worst firefighting I have ever seen. To all rookies this is a bad example, do not follow in their foot steps.

A lot of false information here wrong address and no one trapped. One thing not false they broke out windows in the building next door to where there was no fire.

@robert taylor you've never rode in PG county have you? Best fire departments around. Period.

they sure do like breaking windows. we never break them unless it's nessicery. every department is different though

what happened to this series ? did you guys just stop filming ?

Professional firefighters don't wear their helmets in the apparatus....for multiple tactical reasons.

Ladder placement over the primary entrance and exit??? Not trying to be a douche, just pointing out an issue.

Robert Taylor you are NOT a firefighter because if you were you'd know what has to be done on every fire because just a lil smoke doesn't mean shit in this world go back to school then come see me

"What may appear to have been total chaos to onlookers, is actually a swiftly synchronized set of tactics....."Yeah? Where. Maybe it looked like total chaos to onlookers because it was.

I swear so many volunteers must just toss their helmets into a fire pit there's guys in New York and Detroit with less soot on their helmets than scabs in small towns

Why are they running?

Why all the running???????

when i went through the academy, we were never taught to raise more than two ladders on one side of a structure...in this video theres three at what appears to be the alpha side...but hey training varies from one place to another. Good job guys overall.

I can't watch any PGFD videos anymore. Those guys have a MAJOR hero complex. Pride is great in your job, but you guys have taken it to an unsafe level. You have convinced yourselves that not wearing PPE is safer, it's a competition to be involved at the scene and destroy anything at the cost of the home owner, you can open a window the regular way during overhall to vent, you don't need to smash it, the true emergency is over. If you smash a window from the interior without a mask on, you my friend are a RU-vid firefighter. Smashing 3-5 sets of window for a single room an content? You claim you are professionals, well how about you hit the gym a bit and get off the computer. I would love to see what your guys accountability looks like. Freelance central in PGFD. Don't get me wrong, I am 100% on board with aggressive firefighting, but I also like to see property conservation and not see my crew die of cancer. -21 year career firefighter, still in shape and cancer free.

There is a sense of urgency here. The FDNY could learn something. NONE of their videos display ANY sense of urgency.
