House Fire, Tulsa Ok, 05.14.2023 

I'm not sure about TFD, but TPD has a policy that basically says If you get hurt while gawking, that's your problem. 😂

@@JackR_TV Makes sense.

It’s not Hollywood. It’s not going to explode

@@tigard375 no that doesn't make sense ... one goal at an emergency scene is to NOT add to it... definitely would be best for all if they'd keep folks back a safe distance... especially if there were no victims to begin with, but idiot gawker gets hurt and now rescue crews have to divert their attention to the injured knucklehead instead of tending to the burning building... a bad scene made worse... again, best to keep them dumbbells back so they don't cause even MORE trouble

Does this fire department have any Rehab Units? Those crews, sat on the grass, looked pretty drained.

For sure, I arrived about a minute after the first due unit and walked about a block. By the time I got there, as you can see, they already had lines stretched and were beginning to make entry to begin a search. TFD is definitely a hardworking well trained department.

Yes, @Fire10Rescue @soonerstatefirephotography @Oklahoma emergency, and on Facebook, you can watch Tulsa Traffic Jams

Also, thanks for the support. I love it when people give me feedback.

LA is a chainsaw crazy department.

I believe it is not always cracked up to be the best. LA is living a few years behind the times in my opinion. Remember they have wooden ladders, no. Waterways on their areas and think they need to vent even a building that has self Vented.

Actually looks like it was venting pretty well on its own via the attic vent on the front of the house. Don’t really know how well it’s burning at arrival as when the video starts there’s water on the fire.., also helps that’s there’s not 10 guys standing around waiting for an assignment

If you mean LAFD would have sent a truck company to the roof to actually perform vertical ventilation (rather than sending a guy through an exterior window into “zero visibility”) then yeah, I guess LAFD “IS” all it’s “Cracked up to be”…

as far as attic fires -- the more steam the better IMHO -

At 8:30, you can see the PPV fan being brought in.

It's venting already

No no no!

As you watch the progress you can see the article smoke decrease. They are pulling ceiling and getting a knock inside. Not all departments cut roofs

Looks like they got the fire out just fine without roof venting. Roof venting isn’t necessary in every fire.

We don't need your resume, and they knocked that fire without venting the roof so you point is moot. But what do they know...being from an old Midwest city and all.

@@pendoreille9185 been in it over 50 years, wadda you got? Saw some shit. They were lucky, no smoke explosion occured.

17 years as both volley and paid. You may even be right but it is easy to second guess especially with your feigned humility

The truck was parked close enough for roof access. They probably wouldn’t even have used the aerial ladder for roof access sense it’s just one story, they probably would just throw ground ladders.

@@eriksand9262 in this case , yes ground ladders would have been fine. But it's not a reach issue, it's an obstruction issue. The geometry is such that the stick would have come really close to, if not hit the ladder rack on the engine HAD they decided to use the Tower to access the roof for some reason. NEVER block the truck's access - the engine can work from anywhere unless they are using their deck gun, but they were not in position for that either.

Did horses pull your engine?

@@RLTtizME go back to comedy school - you aren't funny... It was a straight stick Pierce truck I'm talking about

Everything you stated is nonsense

Yeah...and they are delivered with a sticker on the dash to call you first. Dispensing advice from your tattered recliner is not a good look.

They did stupid couldn’t you see them go inside Get your eyes examined

Do you position your couch on the B side?

Tulsa FD don’t vertical vent
