few things I love about this video and for you firefighters and chiefs out there I hope this is used for training. I loved how the one instead of running back and forth to get certain equipment later, got what he could carry and set it up in a fashion that others could easily grab instead of expending valuable time going back to the truck, very nice foresight and awareness to do what was needed beforehand and not after. the way the water line was set up and the attack progressed also very nicely done this was like watching the perfect chess match, nice work guys really nice.
Great firefighter coordination and attack. They sized up the fire, they stopped the threat area between the shed and the exposure and opened up the shed for extinguishment. Well done!
One thing that scares me about those smaller fires, in sheds or storage unit; you never know what's inside burning. It could be nothing, or could explode then spread to the other buildings.
@@JB91710 oh well then go train them but who would want your training being a dick like that seem your comment all I see is someone being a a jerk they did thire job saved the other buildings from being damaged they did what they had to do your just being a know it all asswipe.
Outstanding job! Feel bad about the loss for the Salvation Army. Firefighters did an excellent job not only attacking the fire but salvage and overhaul.
I wondered that at first, too. I'm not a firefighter. But I thought later that if they had chosen to go to the fully involved side, perhaps the water pressure would have spread the fire to the adjacent building. By going perpendicularly and cooling the overhead interior might have controlled the heat and limited spread? It would be interesting to hear what a professional would say.
I’m only two years in. I posit it’s to ensure no spread to the main building. But again I’m still a rookie in ways. The dept I’m in for my bc he wants us to ensure no extension damage because of how close the homes are in the city I’m in.
great knock down guys well done by all. what i find amusing in alot of fires from USA is the amount of pressure being used on small fires. half the pressure on this fire would have been good, and no debris flying everywhere like it was.other then that great work again
Because depts have support people that are NOT firefighters that do these kind of things. We have a guy that flies a drone, that's all. Would never expect him to grab a hose, never. Not all are trained to the same level especially on a smaller crew or volunteer.
2:45 The Rookie knows the Angle of Attack to protect the adjacent structure and eliminate the threat. 2:55 The Veteran doesn't. 3:05 The veteran thinks opening the door to access the interior is a good approach. He should look to the right. 3:22 I swear to God! They are going through the door while the entire right side is burned through. If they had just applied water at the 2:50 mark, the fire would have been out in 10 seconds and the exposer would have been protected. 3:25 A straight stream puts a massive amount of water on a very small area which allows the rest of the material to continue burning. They should also learn about how much pressure is needed so the water goes On the material instead of Through it! 3:45 Yah THINK???
@@DaleDix I see you haven't learned anything about firefighting because you neglected to mention one thing they did or tell me where I'm wrong. Ignorant people usually forget that part.
I do agree with your 3:25 comment. There was no need for reach but for cooling. A fog pattern would have cooled the fire much quicker. Also no need for that much pressure.
@@tylorevans It is a lot better you're right, that's why I noted the airpacks. However, he didn't exactly rush to get that handline over there and ready they could have had that fire knocked in half the time if they had just run instead of walked
@@zacharycarrier2890 oh well you can whine and complain about it all you want but won't change anything about it to be honest the shed was gone already plus the buildings next to the shed are made of bricks and cinderblocks they don't burn they did it just fine I say.
