Extreme pre arrival video shows earliest stages of Ohio house fire 

Police

That's a good one

🤣🤣🤣

Happy

Good one!!

🤣🤣🤣

At 17 min I was hoping to see at least a zombie walk by. 🙂

I prefer watching the house to the right of the white one.

@@Dewenterize I really enjoyed the jogger!! Lmfao

Same. I figured it would be the white house because it's centered in the frame. (Jan Griffiths).

That is excellent advice.

Omg. What a horrific and sad story! Oh I feel for,the husband who left the fryer on. Not only does he have to live with the loss of his wife, but the guilt knowing he was at fault. Omg.

Wow very sad 😞

It’s a good reason not to get oil fryers

This is awful!! I cannot imagine! Doggy doors are important, too! When I was 13 our house burned & our small dog died from smoke inhalation, under the bed. That killed us more than anything. Now we ALWAYS have a doggy door & leave it open. Yes there are cons to having a doggy door but the pro’s outweigh them.

'Twas a well-trained neighbor.

I don't need such a neighbor..He can't help himself and the house.. only runs like a dog.. does he have no water?.. The fire is doing its job...

HAHAHA same here!

HOA is a scarier evil than fire lol

Lmao

This is the kind of video where the uploaded doesn't know jack about editing... Its not "early arrival" either.. Its video footage from some douche nugget's Nest home security camera.

@@truckintom40 "some douche nugget"? Geez, that seems totally unwarranted.

🤣 🤣 🤣

That's how long a home can be on fire before it is detected.

Thank you for the time stamps you’re a life saver 🙏🙏

And props to these firefighters… They had the wet stuff on the hot stuff in less than two minutes upon arrival.

Correction, animal sees fire and alerts human

Times a Lil off

What took them so long to put it in pump gear and pull a line?

Must of been built well, seemed fairly isolated

🤣🤣🤣

Friend of mine had a similar house fire experience, your reply's #WholeFacts!

I don't understand...why didn't the smoke detectors go off?

@@Good-DaySunshine The fire was contained in the attic until the ceilings collapsed. No smoke entered the living area until the collapse.

was this a newer or older home? thats scary. wonder if smoke detector (s) in attic would help

Similar thing happened with my granddad's house. The fire burned in the attic for hours before he began to smell smoke. He opened the attic door and wasn't able to get out in time.

What??

That’s nice of you, glad nothing became of it

Always better to be safe than sorry. My sister tried to get the fire fighters to take their boots off when she had a flue fire...😬they’d just put the wood floors in themselves. She did thank them though.

@@martymaloney1032 😂

@@jagomae. She’s really very kind and grateful but very protective of her house!

@@martymaloney1032 of course ✨

They should of had a smoke detector in their garage not having one in a garage that is built into the house is just plain stupid.

This house was sold in late August of 2020

The homeowner had a stupid moment. He put hot ashes in a pail and he opened the garage door to "air out" but it just fanned the flames more

@@20PINKluvr oh. Someone else commented that it was the garage door opener that caught fire.

@@jujubean1046 yes but why the door open to begin with? I saw nobody going in or out the garage during the time it opened.

They were probably looking at their phones

People don't give a shit any more. (Jan Griffiths).

@@Lunaman2269 well. The fire department didn’t show up until it was too late. So, somebody could’ve acted like they gave a shit at least.

Yep, and not to mention the clumsy fireman that fell as he was taking the hose to the front of the house. Geesh! What slow response time even after they arrived to the scene. We would be reprimanded for that.

I was always told to mind my business 😂 But you right though. Like - “ did I just pass a house fire🤔? Nahhh couldn’t have been “

People are at work

@@TheGiveittomeall Most people would have been home as it was a holiday. It was Monday, January 2, 2017, the official celebration of New Year's Day because the actual day was on a Sunday. It seems like this may have been fairly early in the morning when many people wouldn't have been up.

@@R32R38 look like it's early in the morning. Folks are sleep I'm sure.

This isn't the ghetto and people are actually working.

@@R32R38 Jan 2 is not a holiday

Only someone brain dead would forget this day

At what point would a smoke detector, alert the residents of the trouble.

@@moemcgovern7345 as soon as smoke hits it... I don't understand your comment.

@@cardfan4ever2009 I mean it's honestly pretty darn easy to understand what he meant . You put speaking from experience He is glib obviously to how they work etc so he asked how long? I can see how someone might think it takes 30 sec, a minute etc just in case of false alarm etc

@@sixtrey4368 He might've meant if smoke detector is in the garage how would they hear it asleep in bed? But I think there are now some detectors that "talk" to other inside detectors, those sound off, and of course you get up n check, and realize it's in the garage.

That's what im sayin. Seems like someone inside was maybe up to something that needed ventilation & maybe that's what started the fire. I wish they would give info as to if the ppl are ok, & how it started.

The fire was ablaze, with flames at the far left corner of the garage door, when the door goes up full open. I'm wondering if the garage had some malfunction of the controls due to heat, or if the garage also has a sprinkler system in it.

I noticed the garage door open and stop halfway... way at the beginning. Yeah, very suspect.

New shit has come to light!

Who or what halfway opened the garage door?

Yeah, took it 25 minutes to get going. And not really much to look at until 25 in.

You can see flames in the garage in the 18th minute

Lol sarcasm at its best 🤣

Lmao! So true!

Joe Bien 😂😂😂

Yes I like watching plastic decompose. 🙂

Or paint dry. (Jan Griffiths).

It took them long enough to deploy a line and flow water. 2 engine companies arrive at the same and they jus stand around before pulling the first line? Less than a minute should have had water on fire.

@@jmcculloh88 ok armchair

@@jdm7582 just making an observation based on over a decade of experience.

But we had to watch 35 minute of pretty much nothing

@ Richard York It starts early to show when the garage door starts to open and gets stuck. The jammed garage door opener motor overheated and started the fire. This video was used for the investigation.

I noticed that about the garage. I thought that's odd, especially since no one came in or out. Which led me to think about it being an electrical issue. Idk for sure, just my first thought.

Intentional 🤔

Zzzzzzzz-zz-zz

You have to admit they were not moving fast at all. I saw no sense of urgency in either team.

@@Lunaman2269 1. Call the FD and report it 2. Notify/assist residents 3. Attempt extinguishment (If Possible) And You? Break out the F-ing marshmallows??

Right! But then who knows if he's getting watch time. I would have edited to hopefully get a like or something

Then you would have missed the moment someone opened that garage door a bit…

@@life_is_good2371 Given that the fire had already started, the garage opening is most likely due to a short in the wire caused by the fire.

Considering this video has gotten almost 443,000 views, despite being on the channel of a local fire department with fewer than 2,000 subscribers, I'd say it has done extremely well in terms of viewers!

This isn't a video just for your viewing pleasure. This video can be a tool to teach younger firefighters. It is an excellent video to show fire growth through the stages. How to make scene size-ups. How to position your apparatus. This is a good all round video.

Exactly what I did too!! Lol

Me too cause I ain't got time to watch 20 minutes of nothing lol. Glad they're OK.

Did you forget about the police?

There are no negative comments. Nice try to upvote farm

Code requires 1 or 2 hour fire block in attached garage spaces.

What caused the garage door to open?

@@DianaBamaRN Most likely a short in the wiring. which could of been the cause.

Why weren't the cars moved? They were certainly at risk of catching fire.

@@toniaburns7486 Nobody thinks to do that from all the fire videos that I've seen. I think it's because people don't have time to go get their purse before leaving. May be a good idea to have an extra key hidden outside but that carries risks as well.

18:14 flames begin to appear in left side of garage door, probably right by the door where the object sensor is.

@Kevin Turner AGREED!! It's also a good educational tool for those of us who've never seen how quickly a fire can catch. This video gives a good blow-by-blow visual description. It's awfully scary to watch, too!!

That's a big heap of bolony you wrote there. You can't just pop onto RU-vid and surmise precisely what happened. Leave the reports to the officials.

That's what I was thinking as well. If this had happened in the middle of the night, the house would have probably been completely involved.

u can stop the door halfway etc pushing the button

@Les i still stand by my comment.

@Les You know this cause?? Ohhhh its your house!,gotcha

@@HuntGamingProductions I'm not sure why you even said that in the first place though. It didn't even appear as if someone was trying to get in or out - notice that there are two cars already in the driveway, so it's not like someone is pulling in (and nobody drove up), nor would anyone be able to drive out. And even if someone had pushed the button to stop the door midway - let's say they decided not to leave - why would they not have put it back down? No, it's more likely that the door opener had an electrical failure, possibly causing it to start opening on its own, or it was accidentally opened. Either way, it appears from the video that it started to open, something jammed partway and any safety cut-offs failed (or it had an electrical short), it overheated, and eventually caught fire.

But no smoke got into the house because the man door was closed

Sprinkler system? Really??

@@joevano we have one in our house. It came that way

@@mamafapp but it is nowhere close to a standard feature…

Our smoke detectors never went off with our fire because it started in the attic. Unless they detect a certain temperature of heat- they do not sound. Luckily for us we were home during our fire but still lost everything.

@Jimmie Vrchota Hopefully they had their cell phones with them and called 911. 🙏

@@PJBovio I'm hoping so too. I've just seen far too many drive or walk by something like that just to gawk, and never actually do the right thing by calling it in. It's like what if this was your own house? Wouldn't you want someone to call it in especially if you weren't home when it started?

@@chronically.advocating if you mean before anyone else arrives and it was obvious that there was a fire there people probably thought people were just busy in the garage with some tools that could cause some smoke

@@chronically.advocating I would indeed! People can be pretty apathetic and stupid. Sometimes I wonder if it's because they're so hung up with all the crap in their own lives that they get a charge seeing tragedy happen to other people 🙄🤨

@@Tuzzz94 Quite a lot of smoke!!

🌹🙏 🌹

Yeah I hope everyone was OK too here I am watching it in 2021 but I still hope everyone was OK

Where I live, we have had three seperate fires this year. Luckily, no one was hurt, but the first time, we had no heat and it was friggin cold. Second was minor, someone cooking. Third, arson attempted with a stove by an evicted tennant!

It is sad Every house has a water out let and every neighbor has a house But this shows... Not every human IS A PERSON... ODI ARROYO. 2021.

🤍

Your neighbors must think you're crazy yelling at a video on your device.

Yeah I couldn't figure out why they didn't move them. OR why no one pulled out their water hose to start spraying the building. I would do that for my neighboar.

Don't be silly Petrol cars don't catch fire with alarming regularity, only E.Vs say the battery car haters.

there's no way in hell that car burned for 2 hours inside of a garage in the house did not burn down I don't care what kind of drywall or fireproofing is in there there's no way that's going to not burn the whole house

People don't care or help their neighbors any more. They don't want to get involved. I gladly would have gotten my hose or extinguisher to at least try to put it out or keep it from getting worse till the FD got there. (Jan Griffiths).

I was amazed at how slow the fire progressed, at least from what I could see in the video. About three weeks ago at approximately 2:30am I was in my home office that faces the street when I heard a "boom" outside. I went to my window and observed a neighbor's side yard fence fully engulfed in flames. I ran outside dialing 911 and went to the front of the house to which there was a portico with an iron gate entrance. There was a doorbell button on the outside and I pushed it numerous times. The neighbor's dogs started barking and about 30 seconds after I started ringing the doorbell the homeowner came out of the house and I yelled to him the side of his house was on fire. He replied he was going to the backyard to get a hose going and I went to the sideyard thinking I could use their garden hose to at least slow the fire down. However, there wasn't a hose attached to the hose bib and I couldn't use the neighbor's outside hose line because it was totally melted at this point. What concerned me was the high heat coming off the fire that not only melted the neighbor's hose about 10' away from the engulfed fence but also his water meter. Also close to the fire was the gas meter and I feared since it was about 5' from the fence fire something bad could happen. At the moment I wasn't thinking about shutting off the gas because honestly, I didn't know where the shut-off valve was located. I decided to run back to my house and retrieve my garden hose. I carried it back to the fire and had a heck of a time connecting it to the hose bib because the heat coming off the fire was intense. Once I succeeded in doing that I then learned there was very little water pressure, the house owner was trying to hose down the fire as well from his backside yard, but we both realized the water pressure sucked. We did the best we could by using the thumb over the hose end until the neighbor was overcome by smoke and had to retreat. I concentrated what little pressure I had on the fence fire that by this time had reached the roof eves and into two of the eve soffits. I could see the fire was entering the attic like a blow torch so I targeted the soffits and alternated between them and the gas meter, attempting to keep it cool. The neighbor went back into his house to secure his four dogs and cat with his wife and mother-in-law. They got their pets away from the house and what seemed like forever, the fire department's first engine arrived around that time. Both the neighbor and I were concerned by the slow response time, but we learned later the fire department was short-handed and ran only two firemen per engine. However, a mutual aid call was put out and suddenly about five additional engines showed up from various fire jurisdictions in the region. The fire was brought under control, but it was spreading very quickly in the attic and had burned 90% of the interior three-car garage roof. When I mentioned the blow torch entry of the fire via the soffits, I'm sure a suction effect took place from the entry and was drawn to the opposite end of the house since you could see smoke coming out of soffits there and also from roof vents. The house was uninhabitable with the utility meters burned up and we also learned the flames melted the water line that ran through the garage attic, thus no water pressure at the hose bibs. The water lines were made of synthetic material, they melted. The neighbor thanked me a number of times for alerting them at that time of night because their bedroom was located on the opposite end of the fire and they had no idea when I woke them up their house was on fire. A major restoration is now in progress and it will be three to six months before they can move back in. I'm just glad I was awake at that hour of the night, but that isn't unusual for me because I'm a night owl.

@@JohnS916 Nice Story. U are a Hero!!

@John S , WOW, you surely saved lives that night! You are definitely a hero and a great neighbor! Good to hear a nice story, thank you!

If it was a possible grease fire or chemical could have caused more harm than good

Most garages in newer homes are required to be built with fire walls, since fires often start in garages. A fire can sometimes burn up to a few hours before the walls give out and spread to the rest of the house.

What is a li-po battery?

@@shaynak745 it's the battery typically used in radio controlled airplanes, drones and some lawn equipment like trimmers, blowers and some lawn mowers. I believe li- po stands for lithium polymer. If they over charge or get damaged or too hot they can swell up, release hot gas and catch fire kinda scary. I think the chargers have safety devices built in nowadays but I am definitely not taking any chances. I actually store my batteries in a old empty steel ammo container. If anything goes wrong with them it's all contained and will not spread. If I remember correctly they were the reason the early laptop computers were catching fire but they have since then been made alot safer. There is also lithium ion batteries as well. Be safe and read the manuals on your li-po and li-ion devices and equipment so you are that much safer.

What fire

@@shaynak745 Lithium-Polymer battery.

@@TheUrantia001yes they arnt going to run around like chikens. They know what they are doing, and they will keep doing it that way. Thanks

No one came out of their houses even when the smoke was getting intense. Didn’t they smell something burning?

@@gisellesinclair6811 That goes to show how much people really care about their neighbors. People used to help one another. Not any more. Four years ago, our neighbors' house caught fire. They were in the process of moving out, so there was no one at the house when it happened. We were in bed (4 am ), and the sheriff came to our house, and told us the neighbor's place was on fire, and we had to get out of our own house. We have 2 hoses, so I grabbed one, my husband the other, turned on the water, and started in on the fire. The FD wasn't there yet, but we could see their lights approaching. I was getting our house wet, and my husband was doing the neighbor's house. We were making a lot of headway with knocking the fire down, then the FD took over. It took nearly an hour to extinguish, and hot spots and flare-ups were present the next day. It took the owner 3 weeks to clean up the property, which she sold to us afterward. We put an in-ground swimming pool there. It was a half-acre of property. (Jan Griffiths).

I think for most fire departments, the response time is dependent on when the call came in and the distance from the department- and if they are at a call already. Maybe the neighbors checked for people in the house before calling 911.

@@gisellesinclair6811 Well, it depends who is at home. There don't look to be many cars on drive ways. Which way the wind is blowing is a factor and whether people have their windows shut.

@@gisellesinclair6811 These new homes are so air tight and sound proof the neighbors probably didn't know.

actually starts way earlier, but that's when you start seeing black smoke

Smoke is showing as early as 15 minutes. Thats when the fire started

As a former firefighter, we've see the looks on people's faces, we hear the comments as they stand there watching what they have worked so hard for, what was family heirlooms, memories and pictures being consumed by fire an go up in smoke. I remember one young fella asking his dad about what meant a lot to him, his video games......I can't even begin to imagine what is going through your mind as you watch it all going to smoke and ash. We may look like it doesn't bother us, but inside, we feel for you, I know I do. On one fire I was in, a picture had gotten knocked over and was laying in water, I picked up that picture and moved it out of the damage zone. That picture was someone's memory. It wasn't mine but it was something that may have meant the world to them. During salvage and overhaul, yes we throw burnt items out on the ground like its not our, we dont care, but we do care, we have respect for the items that can be salvaged, who knows, maybe the one item that I (we) save, may be the one item that you hope wasn't destroyed because it belonged to a family member who has passed and its the one material item that keeps their memory alive for you. Yes, the job takes it toll on us, many of us end up with PTSD. We see people at the worst time of their life. We have a saying in the fire service...."I wish my mind could forget, what my eyes have seen." I also wish my mind could forget, what my hands have done.

@@jville533 Oh yeah for sure. I imagine it bothers you guys, it’s not easy to see a person’s house in flames. I’d be more concern if it didn’t bother you, and you’re desensitized to it. I wanna thank firefighters for all that they do, and thank you for your service.❤️

@@jville533 Probably the worst is that "you can never unsee it." I worked as a general assignment newspaper reporter for several years. While some of it was just covering city council meetings and the like, I also covered accidents, fires and emergencies. Some of the stuff I saw I will never forget, although it doesn't give me the nightmares so bad any more - it doesn't haunt me so badly now. Thank you for your service and know that there are people who will be there for you if it gets to be too much. I have been very blessed to have several of them in my life. I wish you blessings and peace.

Yeah! Personally, I think if you have water on it within 90 seconds, that’s pretty good

Too logical for the likes of these.

I saw that too.

Only took a week for the firemen to get to the fire

@@hillbilly4555 they were probably not called until around the 27 minute mark when you see people start to notice the fire. They arrived within 6 minutes of that point which is pretty quick for a rural residential area.

IDK about all that. They (fire dept) were clumsy with a complete lack of urgency, I mean, one of the first fire fighters took a header and he/she was the only one hustling. I'm guessing a volunteer dept that needs renewed training together.

The fd was onsite pretty quick after the neighbors called it in but they got out of the truck walking while a family is watching their life burn. At least walk at a fast pace. Other than that if a fire detector was in the garage it would of been taken care of before this much damage would of occurred

​@LotusMorning maybe you should volunteer to be a firefighter and show them how it's done. 🙄🥱

Our house is adobe and concrete. Our walls are 2 feet thick. We have double windows even. I'd never buy a house that was built nowadays. Way too flimsy, and not worth the money the developers want for them. I'll keep my 70 year old house, thank you. (Jan Griffiths).

Sure, a hydrant is excellent to have next to a home. Still, a fire engine comes with several hundred gallons of water on the truck already so that water can be put on the home much sooner than a connection being made with the hydrant and waiting for that connection.

That first in engine had enough water on board to knock it down and pretty much extinguish what was there. Hydrant was convenient but not needed.

Always have a Dry Chemical (ABC) fire extinguisher ((on the floor by the main door)), if you are in a burning structure, you'll be crawling out and you'll see the fire extinguisher and know your at the door to get out.

A garden hose can be a very effective tool. It may not be enough to extinguish a fire, but it is definitely enough to keep it from growing and spreading.

That's what I was thinking... or maybe someone had a fire extinguisher? They just stood there, I would've gotten a hose and at least kept it from getting worse until the fire department came.

Same thought. Now that I think about it.. those lawns have sprinkler systems..

@@djslip_irie Not just that, but because this was winter (January 2, 2017) in a cold weather area, any neighbors who had garden hoses would have shut off their outside water supply weeks earlier and most likely stored the hoses away. In any event, the only hoses which might have been long enough to reach the fire area would have been on the houses to either side, and even that might not have worked.
