Updated Dec 24, 2023
Two people died early Saturday morning after a fire at a southwest Atlanta home, officials said.
Crews were called to the home in the 1800 block of Willis Mill Road shortly after midnight on reports of a residential fire with people possibly inside. Firefighters were informed once they arrived at the scene that two residents remained inside the home, according to the Atlanta fire department.

Strangely enough, inside a house fire is the most relaxed my brain has ever been. Something about the chaos, and knowing your brothers have your back as you're doing something good.

@goodolslippyfist7339 Год назад

Funny you say that because that's how I've described it to my parents and my girlfriend, something about the warmth, the roar of the fire, the excitement. It's all very exhilarating. It's all scary chaotic and fun all in the same swoop. But as soon as the line is in my hand or I'm backing someone up on the line, that's all I gotta worry about is that fire and it going out.

@robertsmith470 Год назад

@Good'ol slippyfist things are much simpler in a fire...The wet stuff goes on the red stuff, and everybody goes out the same way they came in. There's no worry about bills, or drama, or politics, or BS. It's just stay alive, make sure your team stays alive, and put out the fire.

Police, firefighters, teachers should be the highest paid career

@Predkite Год назад

yeah and childcare imo, protectors or the public or children should be a high paid honourable role in society

Hats off to the Firefighters! Like the military, most run from the destruction, they run to it! I just started volunteering at the local Fire Station. I'm too old to be a fire fighter, but I can drive, get them there safely and make sure they DON'T run out of water!

Outstanding! Well done documentary. My mother used to attend church across from AFD Station 19. Met those guys. Great bunch. We all have a lot in common. It is a brotherhood! Remember the fallen. Work as a Captain for a large dept. in TN.

Interesting I came across this video and found out you worked for the Kansas City Star. I am a third generation FF and my grandfather, great uncle and great grandfather all retired from KCMO Fire Department. I did some research years ago through the Kansas City Star to try and locate publishing's about my predecessors and found a few interesting articles. I cannot thank you enough for what you do, stay safe out there!

Hats off to the brave men and women who work hard to keep our fire men safe I want to become a fire fighter very badly and im 33 years old.

Local high school is currently hiring a janitor. starting pay is more than I make as a FF / Paramedic.

@zesolodar 3 месяца назад

sounds like your in the wrong city. where i live a basic firefighter/emt (not cheif or anything like that) median pay is 65k. if you make captain it jumps to the median pay of 106k

Don’t wear dirty gear brothers. I know it’s not sexy but clean those helmets and get those bunkers looking new. Wear your mask and stay on air especially through overhaul. It’s not worth the early death. Keep it aggressive till the end.

@douglasiles2024 Год назад

It's amazing how the mentality has changed over the years. It used to be that dirty/smokey gear was the sign of a veteran guy who had seen a lot of action. Little did we know what it was doing to us. Trading in your old gear for a new set used to be the last thing a guy wanted to do. Now we know better. But how many brothers and sisters did we lose from this bravado?

@FINfinFINfinFINfin 4 месяца назад

Holy crap. You should have rode with Engine 16 to see some good interior attacks. Not the Squad shooting water from the parking lots. I will say nobody can beat them when it comes to roof ventilation and overhauling. I think Hank Williams was the first out gay fire captain as well. Great guy.

@Kzh207 Год назад

American houses are so weird. When they burn, they burn as a whole. Nothing seems concrete. Everything is inflammable. Never seen such tactics used in europe but I think these kind of houses are the reason.

@lynskeyti9940 Год назад

Most have no concrete other than the foundation, average flashover time is 3-6 minutes. I have seen a house become fully involved in less than 15 minutes. Our minimal flow is 150 GPM or around 560 lpm

@SouthernGround Год назад

All burning buildings can kill you, American houses as you mentioned can kill you faster, that's why we fight them so aggressively and carry bigger balls in doing so, you have to if you wana make to 8:00am. But in the end firefighters around the world face the same and have one goal, to go home at the end of your shift or event in the case of the volunteer.

@notthatdonald1385 Год назад

You can see this video is dated when there's no mention of a 'fast truck'.

@douglasiles2024 Год назад

"Fast truck"(s) (or a RIT truck) have been around long before this video was made. Every department uses their own terminology. What really brought that to the forefront nationally was the Worcester 9 fire.

@tadtanakatsubo6067 Год назад

@@williampell8458 we would never agree either way. I’ve seen enough of European tactics that I don’t agree with. High pressure washer attack lines, a lot of operations from the exterior, hose reel attack lines. So again, America has our ways, Europe has their ways and they are very different as are the mentalities.
