I agree, every time I see the Elmhurst fire department I always say “thank you guys!”, i love seeing the lights and hearing the sirens and horns on the fire trucks
That was some serious technique. Those firefighters dropped that fire like it was nothing. Pretty cool demonstration if you ask me. God Bless all first responders
@@luhdooceheat rises, so in fires there is an extreme difference in temperature between the air near the floor and the ceiling, which creates layers of heat / thermal layers
When i was a volunteer, we had a old farm house the owner was letting us practice on. We go practice live fire in the morning, get done triple check for anything burning or smoldering, nothing. 3am that night a get a 911 to same house, fully involved.
We had kitchen fire in a mobile home last year at my dept. Got a quick knock, contained to the kitchen, went in with 2 TICs, poked holes, everything did not leave until we guaranteed it was out. 2 days later at 4am it was fully involved, they tried to convince us it was a rekindle. Neighbors told us they were loading furniture into the U haul earlier that day. And the cause of the original fire? Oven on full blast with the door open, trying to keep chicks warm. Top 10 weirdest calls for me.
@@_Liveyourlife_ I see. I thought you'd played recordings of kids etc to play during the exercise to give the trainees a more realistic idea of what a real event would be like. Lol 🙂
That adage actually doesn't work in most scenarios you find yourself in. At the most, fire with fire will make more fire, and the "solution" you think you found is actually just all the ashes remaining. It's not a good metaphor or anything!
I was wondering why you don’t use the spray function, we in Germany use it because you get more drops of water that have a greater cooling effect and also the effect that the flames and smoke get catched
When I was a volunteer firefighter 30 or 40 years ago, they taught us to use a 30-degree fog pattern in interior attack, but that drops the hot steam down on top of you when the heat column collapses on top of you. Lately, I've seen a lot of videos where they're teaching the guys to hit it with a straight stream or even use a smoothbore nozzle for a quicker knockdown. Seems to work pretty good!
It was a demo at the Fire house.. the whole thing was under a controlled environment for the kids to see how the fire spreads between a closed door room and open door room. At the end fire fighters doing a great job by extinguishing the fire.
Thanks all for what you do but a question i seen you go around and around and then side to side is there a pattern to putting water on it i know start to top work down
@@l3ffemti They are still firefighters. Your either not a firefighter and just some internet tough guy/hater or you are a firefighter but you are one of those piss poor losers that hate on your fellow brothers in the fire service for no reason at all. Go get a hobby bud.
Beautiful job guys. We need more these trainings and teachings in our local schools, especially in California l. A county that is, if Ellie county, let's us have those teachings in schools. Which, by the way, heads up, Our governor and city hall of Los Angeles LA county, have taken Away our. Pledge allegiance. Mornings in our schools. Because it mentions under God with liberty. And Justice for all. No that is absurd and a lot of people in california are fighting to get it back
