On February 20, 2020 at 2019 hours NFD units were dispatched to the area of 54 Chestnut Street for a report of a fire. While responding, Dispatch reported multiple calls coming in reporting a duplex on fire and it was unknown if the house was occupied. When the call came in, Battalion-1, Ladder-3 and Medic-3 were on an EMS call. Battalion-1 and Ladder-3 were able to clear from the EMS call and respond to the house fire.
The following equipment was on the initial assignment for the house fire:
Rescue-1 (engine/rescue) with a crew of 3 - First Due
Medic-1 with a crew of 2 - Firefighter/paramedics in a transport unit
Engine-2 with a crew of 3
Medic-2 with a crew of 2 - Firefighter/paramedics in a transport unit
Engine-52 with a crew of 2 - Heath Fire Department
Ladder-201 with a crew of 4 - Granville Fire Department
Upon receiving multiple calls the run was upgraded to a working fire requiring 2 additional engines to be added.
Engine-201 with a crew of 4 - Granville Fire Department
Engine-541 with a crew of 4 (or 5, I can’t remember)- Newark Twp. F.D.
Battalion-1 and Ladder-3 cleared from the EMS run and was added to the fire.
Ladder-3 with crew of 3
Within a few minutes of arriving I requested 2 additional engines due to the cold temperature and volume of fire.
Rescue-101 (engine/rescue) with a crew of 5 - Madison Twp. F.D.
Engine-391 with a crew of 4 - Newton Twp. F.D.
Additional units that responded
Medic-3 with a crew of 2, after clearing from the EMS run they were previously on
Medic-101 with a crew of 3 - Madison Twp. F.D.
Rescue-51 (engine/rescue) with a crew of 4 - Heath F.D.
Support 401 - West Licking F.D. rehab/canteen unit
I-20 NFD Fire Marshal (Fire investigator and police officer)
Prevention-2 (Fire Investigator and Fire Inspector)
No civilians were inside the house and no firefighters were injured.
As mentioned at the begin of the video, this is the 18th fire in Newark since January 1st. Needless to say our investigators have been very busy. Several of these fires have been determined to be a human act for various reasons or motives. Because these fires are under investigation I am limited about what details I can release, so as not to compromise any ongoing investigation. This fire is under investigation. Here is a link to some media coverage regarding the numerous fires including an interview by Chief Connor. abc6onyourside...
This video was recorded with a Motorola Z Force Droid cellphone, which limits the length of my video to about 30 minutes.
I have additional command view fire videos on this channel as well as my other RU-vid channel at / traumawave
You can keep up to date with Newark Fire Department on their Facebook page at / newarkohfire or on their web page at www.newarkohiofire.org
I have opted to allow commenting so that people can ask questions or make comments/observations. Please keep it respectful. Most of us are here trying to learn. If you are disrespectful I will block you.
USE OF MY VIDEOS- My videos have been uploaded for training purposes. Anyone may use this video in-part or whole for training purposes. If you have specific questions about this video, you can contact me at daviddeckersemail@gmail.com
MONETIZATION REVENUE- Any money received from the monetization of any of my videos will be donated to a non-profit charity. I will post details on my Community page.
Thanks and Stay Safe.

I suspect you get a lot of credit because you're the Chief, but I have to give those men a lot of credit also. Training is necessary, but it helps when they can have confidence in your leadership. When they go into a burning building they know from past experiemce that you "have their backs"!

@geoffgaudet2545 4 года назад

Richard Bedard Prior to getting all that credit, note that the IC assumes full responsibility for whatever happens on scene. That confidence has to go both ways. BTW, I’m a member of a small rural volunteer dept., and due to high turnover I’ve advanced fairly quickly into a command role. IC is one of the hardest jobs I’ve ever done, in the fire service or not. I only hope I’ll one day reach the level of calm professionalism Chief Decker displays in these videos (then again, he gets a LOT more practice at it than I do...).

Though not in the fire service but having many friends involved I can surely relate and appreciate that. It amazes me what you must endure. I can say that 1 night while working for a local towing company I was called an hour away to assist with removing a pickup from a rushing river. It was 1AM, 3 below zero with howling winds as we were fighting with a steep embankment and guardrail. I was never so grateful as when the local fire auxiliary provided me with a hot coffee. Not to mention their divers who handled the hookup and even recovered a lost chain for us. (I had already chocked it up for lost until the next summer lol).

@brandonseyfried1251 8 месяцев назад

I'm starting to wonder...... Is it better to hit a medium fire with tank water, run low, and back your engine crew out until you have an established supply, or Is it better to wait to make entry with a hose line until you have an established supply, and now your medium fire is a large/extra large fire? I realize that reported entrapment throws the question out the window. I've always operated where the next-in engine is right on your tailboard. But, there are jurisdictions in my region that will absolutely not make entry until a continuous water supply is established, an Incident Safety Officer is on the fireground, and the RIT team is standing in the front yard. IMHO, most of the time, Option A negates the need for Option B.

Wow. Just under 5 MINUTES from the start of the video (and just over 3 minutes from arrival on scene) and this went from fully engulfed on the Alpha side with extension to Bravo, to virtually no visible flames and white smoke. I have seen so many other videos where 5 minutes from arrival there still trying to get water on the flames. Top that off with aggressive interior attack, and ordering evacuation as soon as the interior conditions changed, and you have an outstanding example of a great department in action! Well done Chief Decker and all of your great crews!

At 28:20 you see the Best Practice in action. The fifteen -minute timer is timing a Personnel Accountability Report which is basically saying, “Is everyone OK?” and each truck captain reports that they have Accounted for all of their firefighters. Chief Decker does not want any of his firefighters to go unaccounted for longer than 15 minutes, inside that fire damaged house.

Yes, it can be done with water using the proper technique. 10 years later we learned Aircraft fire fighting with foam. Much better and safer.

I know our local fire department in Nebraska had a heck of a time this January on a fire. Temperatures were around -12°F with snow and ice on the ground. The engineer had fun accessing the hydrant as the threads were feozen making it difficult to remove the caps to attach the hose. They did send out public message as well requesting those that have hydrants on their property to dig snow away from them. They also had problems keeping warm, luckily our emergency management bus was there and they could rotate crews to warm up as their normal means wasn't working. This fire was also difficult as it was confined to the attic, and they decided to go defensive first using the water tower on the quint truck as the roof was looking like it may collapse. As well as dealing with face masks fogging up, and bunker gear getring frozen. They ended up bringing their spare set of gloves as the first set would get soaked and freeze up on them.

@OSUfan757 4 года назад

All (or most) firefighters in the US are certified EMT’s, so that means they can treat each other if one gets injured. A lot of fire dept.’s have a ‘fire rescue’ unit. They are very similar to an ambulance in the sense they respond to medical calls and can transport patients to the hospital. We have separate ambulance company’s as well. Only difference between the 2 is that the fire rescue unit only has EMT’s, the ambulance services actually have paramedics. In most major fires here in the states they have a dedicated ‘EMS Sector’ which means a fire rescue unit stages outside of the burning building, usually near a fire engine, with a stretcher and their medical supplies.

Cheif, I've fought fire for 20 years and only wish it could of been under you. You should also be proud of your men. They do an awesome job

@jamesterrill1938 2 года назад

Chief Decker you and your Crew are a credit to your profession when I was a kid I was crazy a about fire and military vehicles I wanted to do them both but I opted for the army however I did take classes to be a firefighter so I did learn a lot about attacking a fire and every time I watch your videos I learn more please keep posting I watch many of these but I choose yours

You could tell prior to the first hose being put on the fire that that house was already to far gone with fire to have firefighters go inside

@ltthomas114 3 месяца назад

Not really, the house was fairly solid for a majority of the incident. What caused us issues was when the house was separated into a multi family use.

This chief must be one of the best in the country. I say that because of the crews he sets up and how he does it. I’ve watched a ton of his videos and he really has command and knocks these fires down so quickly and is always in charge, never loses sight of what he’s trying to do and is very clear in which way he wants things done. The guy just puts on a clinic every single fire scene!

Chief, was that 3rd line a 2.5"?It looked like it was? What nozzle packages do you use on your 1.75" lines? Do you flow check them? Curious of GPM on those nozzles on solid stream. When Division 2 asked for pressure increase, it was obvious his hoseline was losing the fight. Excellent job of reporting what you were seeing on the outside to the interior crews. I think they thought they were gaining ground, but you could see that they weren't. Great work!

@commandvisionfire 4 года назад

All of the lines deployed here were 1.75" lines with a TFT 200 GPM automatic nozzle. Yes, we have flow tested them in the normal and low pressure setting, for GPM and stream reach. Thanks.

Lot of fire, great video and nice job. Being a Truckie most of my career I would have loved to put a rig right on that lawn where you're videoing from.

When he first pulls up to the fire, am I the only one that was thinking check that pet crate to make sure it’s empty? I’d rather my house burn down, just save my pets.

@UltraBrickStudios 4 года назад

The first priority for the first arriving engine/unit is to get lines set up and an attack and/or search. Being that the pet crate was out from danger, it is reasonable to assume that if there was an animal inside, that it would be fine. If even a probationary firefighter was to check on that crate, it would waste time, especially when considering fire doubles in strength every 30 seconds if its not being dealt with, and its very likely even checking the crate would take 30 seconds to get from the engine, to the crate, and back to the engine. To top it all off, if the crate is outside it isn't all too likely an animal is inside it. I agree with you, buildings and belongings can be replaced, pets and people cannot. I just wanted to point out some facts (as far as I know they are facts, although if I am wrong please correct me.) to help you understand why they may not have checked the crate. Take care :)

@kellywentz4452 4 года назад

Ultra Brick Studios I totally understand the facts u pointed out. I was just saying it kind of made me sad that he didn’t take a second to look in crate. I’m sure most often then not there wouldn’t be a pet in it. I guess my heart was sad watching and no one taking a look. I’m a dachshund mom of 6 whom are just as love as my human kids so I get a little emotional when pets could possibly be involved. Hell I cry if a squirrel runs out in the road and I hit him because he stopped running. Wasn’t putting anyone down about the job they did.

If firefighter looks in that crate they probably be fired.

Another awesome video from a great department and awesome incident commander.

@alaninnh 4 года назад

I know you didn't plan it that way Chief, but this is some of the best fire attack footage I've seen. You've got some very brave people who keep cool heads and get the job done. My stomach was in knots when the attic became involved. I saw a pet caddie out front, did they lose a dog to the fire?

@FloozieOne Год назад

What does "getting spongy" mean? Also, watching the men inside with their flashlights just before the evac order had me trembling. Fire raging above them, debris raining down, and they couldn't see it from where they were. I was so relieved when they were told to get out.

@commandvisionfire Год назад

Spongy means the floor is getting soft or bouncy, which indicates the floor is getting weak. Usually from fire damage.

@stephaniegaudreau4755 2 года назад

This is my second time watching this video. Chief you in your description you mentioned your department had been incredibly busy of late. You also stated that a lot of those fires, including this one, were under investigation. That to me means an arsonist could have set the fires. I hope not. Chief I lost my mom to complications of 3rd and 4th degree burns. I never want to see anyone go thru the pain my mom did. If an arsonist set these fires, I hope he has been caught by now. If he isn't caught yet I hope he is soon behind bars, before he kills someone.
