that's actually wicked smart and effective (seriously). up here around Boston the first due engine just uses their tank until the 2nd due engine can get in lay a line from the hydrant to the 1st engine. having the 2nd commit to the building is actually really effective.. some good thinkers over there.
Good job guys, awsome effort. Interesting to see even the small working differences between the US and Australia. All about the same thing though and both achieve it. Gotta put the wet stuff on the red stuff.
You are correct, a 360 should always be performed by the first Officer on scene as well as the first due Truck OVM while he ladders the building and forces entry to the rear (or at least that's how we run). A 360 was not seen in this video simply because the Nozzle-Man and Hydrant-Man were the only ones wearing helmet cams. You can hear the officer call out that he's doing a 360 as the Nozzle-Man gets off the rig. Thanks for the view!
Makes definite sense to me, I don't know the areas up there obviously, but I do recall a couple fires I have arrived on where 1st due engine made the connection because the nearest plug was on the same block as the fire, DFD carries a 50' long 5" doughnut rolled on the Captain side pump panel for just that situation. **GENERAL DISCLAIMER TO MY POSTS: I am not a firefighter and while I am well versed and love to talk shop, I am here to learn above all else.**
We train to be fast. We train to be efficient. Thank you for your compliments. We have a Firefighter here by the name of Steve Costa, if that is in fact your first name. Take care!
I don't usually comment on fire videos, but just wanna say hell of a job. Everyone does their job and is nice n calm on the fire ground. Not sure if this dept is paid or volllie doesn't matter to me again nice job and keep up the good work.
Thank you for your support! We never imagined for our page to be getting as much attention as it is getting. We look at this as a stepping stone. Thanks again, Take care.
they probably figured since thy hydrant was on their way in, and they knew where it was, if they could grab it fast, there would be no need to have the 2nd due engine waste time and grab it, especially since the second due was probably a ways out seeing this fire was essentially down the street from 19's station.
I believe it's this bill and/or act that has been passed or is trying to be passed in my state but I don't know if it's a federal bill or not and it's called "The Public Records Act"
I'm sure it's due to your response area and second due times but is it your normal practice to have a firsts due engine drop the supply line? On a partial or fully involved 1st due pump will drop crossly and quick attack with the 500gal. On board while 2nd due pump grabs plug and pulls past 1st due to transfer their 5" **GENERAL DISCLAIMER TO MY POSTS: I am not a firefighter and while I am well versed and love to talk shop, I am here to learn above all else.**
in no way am i criticizing, my spelling is shite im tired but anyways from past things ive read isnt the first job to walk around the building on fire 360 checking for gas valves and such or did someone already do that and it just wasnt shown in the video?
well until you can show us in writing that we are not allowed to show us responding to fires,then we will continue to do so. And even then, we probably will still post videos. No interior private property was exposed by any means. There is nothing that the public cant just go drive and see for them selves. Thank you for your concern.
Hey OneNine can you not post videos anymore due to the federal bill that was passed into law that states no first responder can post evidence whether it be video or picture of a emergency scene or fire
