I am neither an active nor a retired fireman. Limited knowledge. But it took that truck about 15 minutes of sitting under those wires to figure out that he could just back the truck up. That after some knucklehead was using a saw to cut the tree down! And, it seemed that after the initial knock down on the right side of the house, it took a long time to come back to where the fire was burning with growing ferocity. All this from a layman who know nothing about how to fight a house fire.

I have 30 years in the fire service.... There was no excuse for losing this house. You don't need the stick on a 2 1/2 story (you have plenty of ground ladders to choose from) and why the heck didn't the ladder grab a hydrant on the way in? There was a 2nd ladder truck coming in from the other end - HE could have grabbed a hydrant, broke the line and supplied the 1st truck. And you never EVER shoot water into a hole that's venting smoke and flames. ESPECIALLY when there are crews inside. They're likely to come boiling back out of the house and wring your neck.

@Barb Rowley Your fire insurance is based partly on water supply for fire coverage - On a municipal system, ISO calls for hydrant spacing every 500'. If they were on Town water, there had to be one nearby somewhere, probably in both directions. That's why almost all urban supply hose loads are about 500'. Rural loads might be parallel 500's or a single 1000'. Meth labs? Yeah, that's becoming a huge problem. Used to be weekend mechanics working on their cars, or kids playing....

I grew up in small Texas towns where the fire engines were typically pumpers with their own limited water supply. Their approach was to quickly extinguish flames with limited water unless they were in reach of fireplugs. It is apparent that big city departments approach a fire more tactically with hose lines reaching blocks away. It does seem that the big fire departments might be less speedy and let small fires get out of hand.

They dont know if the fire scene is going to have working hydrants, what is fueling the fire, was it accidentally started or arson, how long it has been burning before it was reported, if they have to do rescues first, what obstacles are going to be in the way, if the inside is neat and orderly or cluttered or a hoarding situation, does the house contain ammunition that's going to popping off, etc, etc, etc. Also, we don't know if these folks arriving on scene just got back from a fire and had to turn around and respond to this one we are watching.

I am not a firefighter and will not criticise the professionals, though I might have done some things differently. Many of the critics here seem not to have noticed that the fire seems to have started in the garage and spread to the house, all the way to the attic, before the FD got there. Yes, I would have tried to knock down flames from the garage, and I would have suggested that the initial connection which was leaking so badly be corrected before continuing. However, given that the house was already burning inside, I am not surprised that the house was so badly damaged. Once it is in the walls, as this was by the time the department arrived, the fire is hard to extinguish. As far as the tree is concerned, its loss is a shame. But moving the ladder truck a few meters is a complex operation, as you may not have noted. You can't just put the truck in reverse (or drive, for that matter) and move it once the outriggers have been extended, and it takes time to retract, then extend them properly. Maybe the initial decision was based on the difficulty of moving the truck vs. removing the obstruction (the tree). Overhead wires are usually fairly easy to avoid.
@svyt

I'm not equipped to comment on skills and strategy, but I have some specific technical questions. Between 2:20 and 2:30 as the truck revs up and charges the hose off the front bumper discharge, what is going on with all the water gushing out? Is the coupling not secured, or is the hose itself leaking? Then around 5:50, they idle back - did they run out of tank water and just stop pumping that line (the leak at the bumper discharge stopped...), or did they get a hydrant supply connected and idled back as they added the mains pressure to the pump inlet? Just trying to learn...
@kennyt957
8 жыл бұрын
I'd say the connection was loose or a drain was open. As for throttling issues it could be related to high idle for the stick or because they're out of water, or because they got pressure from a hydrant as you mentioned. Any of the above I guess.

For those of you commenting about the arrival of engines vs. trucks, in some places we staff apparatus not stations. If I'm on the truck, I'm not pulling over & waiting for the engine to arrive first - it's just not possible. Plus, I like to lead & get my position while they are still laying in, otherwise you may end up blocked out by an ignorant engine company. As far as this goes, horrible all the way around. Repositioning the truck because they fouled up their first shot at positioning, meanwhile there's no less than three unused ground ladders in the rig. I could go on, but let's be real I have better things to do then point out all the fouls ups.

What happened? Hydrant right in front of them and nobody thought to hook up? Thought they could do fire attack with one 1 1/2 off a ladder's tank alone? Why wouldn't the ladder hang back and not block the engine's access and the hydrant? 2 chief officers on scene in shiny SUVs and turnouts...what ever happened to size up, SAP, incident command...? Looks like they actually trapped the ladder in there, and the engine had to lay how many hundred feet of supply line and sneak around the charlie side to access????

My thoughts: 1st engine in stretches and engine dumps there monitor while starting to protect the exposure and dwelling #2. Interesting response 2 trucks before even one engine. 1st engine took what seems like a long time to stretch from the hydrant way down the street.. Just my thoughts

You mean smashing every window in sight, saying "we have to let the heat out", as you cause the house to burst into flames?

I can honestly say that in the history of youtube I have never seen firefighters start cutting large portions of a tree off to make room for the swing of an aerial ladder. For those of you who are new to this whole thing- take a look at 3:30 where the guy goes to charge his SCBA and discovers his bottle isn't even connected. This- unlike arborist truckies- isn't exactly uncommon but it should be. Check the SCBA in the jump seats as if someone is trying to embarrass you on youtube because they will.

what gets me is that you pull a line off the front of the ladder truck and instead of protection the 2cd house you got to the house that is on fire you should always when you get on the fire ground look to see if the second house is on fire and make sure you protect the second house because you had more fire company's there to fight the fire on the second house

at around 12:35 or 12:40 I have always wondered this, if yu do have a tree in the front yard like this house did. I know he was cutting the branches off of it so they could move the ariel ladder to wherever they need to, but if they had to, could they take down the whole tree or just the branches of it just enough to be able to maneuver the ladder???????

You had the best of both worlds, a ladder truck and a pump. Equals a Quint!. And you guys blew it. Damn that one rig should’ve been able to get the stick to the roof for ventilation and flow multiple lines. Sad.

This went wrong starting with the first arriving ladder position, no one laying right in, exposure protection, etc etc.

Why did no one do a 360 and immediately ladder the building, that should be the absolute first thing in a structure fire arriving as a truck crew.
