Ok everyone, I'm going to put this out there for all of the keyboard warriors who choose to make stupid comments. You weren't there. If you have questions or want to discuss tactics, you are in the right place. I'm all about learning and helping others learn. If you feel compelled to act like a fool and make stupid comments, just know that as soon as I get the push notification I will shut you down and that will be you last comment you make on any of my videos. I have blocked about 10 people since posting this video. With that being said, when I arrived and entered through the overhead garage door, the smoke was layered so well that I could see from one end of the building to the other. When I announced "fire department" I could hear at least two different people calling for help. I proceeded through the west side of the building, announcing "come to voice". This is a high risk and high reward scenario. We will risk a lot to save a lot. I would say rescuing two people out of a burning building is saving a lot. As I proceeded toward the voices I could see them exit through the opposite overhead garage door (that is visible after I moved my car), so I exited the building through the closest door to me (again, visible after I moved my car). I remained on foot on the south side of the building talking with the civilians to confirm all civilians were accounted for and out of the building. I also provided face-to-face instructions to the Ladder-3 crew. I did not remain inside the building or suffer any smoke inhalation. I hope this is helpful and will reduce the number of people that I need to block in the upcoming days. It's up to you.

Your Department is obviously very well trained. There is zero excitement , anxiety ( Anxiety is contagious ) , no running ,jogging , just calm purposeful movement from one task to the next. When I saw the initial size up and amount of smoke , coupled with a LARGE commercial space , I expected a huge extension and multiple alarms. With your decades of experience and education , even being a Flight Paramedic as well , I was quite comfortable seeing you calmly march into the building sans turnout gear , helmet etc. Only years of experience and continuous learning and self critiquing , allows one to carefully be savvy enough for that quick interior visual assessment . After pondering this Fire , I presume that you got the citizens out of harms way , and then based on that quick look modified the attack plan. It is awesome to witness the cross training and collective teamwork wherein the first Apparatus is a Truck Company who immediately switched into a First In Engine Company , other Departments are soooo stubborn regarding Engine v Truck work. I had to really think hard about the water supply , as I , from the comfort of my reading chair and with a steady supply of Hot Pockets , finally understood that your quick assessment kept you three or four steps ahead of the tactics and procedures. Using tank water and two Attack lines quickly knocked the Fire down. I was also impressed by your critical thinking of having the next Engine stand by at the hydrant versus laying a long supply line. ( That by itself would effectively take another Engine Company out of service for the rest of your AO ) . I expected the Second ladder to rapidly ventilate with Saws and pike poles. No , they used high tech imaging to check for extension . The Captain inside said they could use some ventilation. Again I am impressed that no unnecessary damage was done to the property as in super aggressive ventilation , windows being broken , holes cut into roofs and such. Nope , not your Department.....a couple of fans / smoke ejectors did the job. Other “ Professional Fire Departments “ relish the joy of cutting holes in roofs , destroying windows and the like . What could have been a Three Alarm surround and drown was changed into Rescue of life Quick knockdown and containment No unnecessary property damage or smoke and water damage. All of this while still keeping other vital Medic Units , Truck and Engine Companies in service. Why ? Because your Men and Women obviously drill a lot , use critical thinking before, during and after events. Plus the First In , Last Out Officer , knows intuitively and academically what has occurred ,what will occur and leads by example. I’m not being obsequious, I just wish to acknowledge your leadership and potentially negate those who vilify you .

I get the idea of lay flat hoses, can put more hose on the truck, but seems to be harder to get out and not twisted so water can flow. Our department experimented with a 1 inch reinfoced high temp rubber hose on a reel to quick deployment to get water on the fire while the lay flat hoses were setup. It worked pretty well to knock down small fires or protect exposures of nearby structures keeping them wet to prevent extension into another building/shed/vehicle while larger hoses were setup.

Chief, I’m a tow truck driver and witnessed a severe accident tonight. Having some first aid training I did what I could to assist the 1 person entrapped and injured. My questions for you is, is there anything specific you’d recommend to me as a first responder with no more than minor first aid training, to do in a situation like that before fire and EMS arrives? My next question is, all of the videos I’ve seen of yours so far have been of just fires, have you considered posting accident videos or are privacy problems with victims reason that you don’t post those?
@commandvisionfire
5 жыл бұрын
Those are good questions. In regards to the auto accident that you assisted on, there are three things that are very important (and you might already be aware). 1- Call 911 and give accurate information. This requires you to stop and survey the scene. Too frequently we get called to auto accidents where the caller didn't stop (passerby) to collect important information. It important to know how many vehicles, how many people are injured, is there an entrapment, anything on fire. The dispatcher has a list of important questions that will help us get the right equipment on the road, but frequently they can't ask those questions because the caller didn't take the time to stop. 2- Try to make the scene safe. For instance if the crash is right in the middle of a curve, sending a person 300 yards around the curve to act as a flagger to warn approaching traffic to slow down could avoid a secondary collision. Or if the crash is on the freeway, it's important to give some advance warning to oncoming motorist so a semi-truck doesn't plow through the scene and further injure people. 3- Do no harm. 99 times out of 100 leaving the patient in the car is usually the best option. As far as videos at auto accidents, by the time I deleted all of the parts that contain sensitive or privacy issues there just wouldn't be a whole bunch to see, and would require a lot more work on my part.

The operator in question was an immigrant who didn't speak English very well. He didn't understand what a home invasion was. I had to explain it to him and then tell him to get the police here ASAP. Meanwhile, three punk kids are pounding on my door, and 15 more are downstairs in the lobby trying to get into the building. The whole situation was a schlmozzel. I am OK; however, we need better 911 service than that. Needless to say, my city councillor got an earful about this.

David Decker I appreciate the response Chief! All the things I told the 911 dispatcher were spot on with what you said, so no problems there! I did have something happen while on 911 that I found to be new to the process. After the dispatcher was done with me, she transferred me to an EMT who gave me suggestions as well as asked some questions. He was also very adamant about leaving the entrapped person in the vehicle unless it caught fire. As far as making the scene safe, I was driving a big flatbed tow truck. I was the first on scene and blocked the road (2 lanes and the middle turning lane). With the equipment I had, I did what I could to secure the scene considering there were vehicle parts all over the road and power lines down. This also happened on a city road at about 11pm. So traffic wasn’t too much of a factor.

That is a great question. Putting Tower-1 up was actually two-fold. First thing I wanted them to do was give me a good look at the roof with a thermal imaging camera. The attic space of this building is huge and has no fire walls. If fire was extending into the attic I wanted to know sooner not later. I used this technique on the Granville Milling fire. It was a very smokey fire, and the interior crews were having trouble finding the seat of the fire. The ladder crew was able to quickly identify the location of the fire. The link for that video is here kzitem.info/news/bejne/x5mlmoSJiaOpoJg Go to the 12:34 mark. Secondly, getting that platform up was my back-up plan if they couldn't contain the fire with handlines. The platform has 2 masterstream nozzles that the crew could either flow through the overhead garage door, or they could shoot upwards into the soffit to knockdown fire extending into the attic.

Looking at the footage I also was a bit astonished to see you go in the building on your own without any PPE. Having said, my first action upon arrival would probably have been to put on my PPE (without SCBA of course) before going to the building. We fairly quickly get comments form the firefighters if we are not properly dressed on the fireground. Before seeing the rest of the footage however I came to the conclusion that you allreaddy had exited the building on the other side.

I noticed that about the time you arrived and entered the building, and before the apparatus arrived, the smoke got lighter. Do you know the reason for it? Were the employees attempting to fight the fire? Once again I have to compliment you and your personnel. A problem I used to have when I was a commander was excessive chatter on the radios. It seemed that anyone with a radio felt they were required to talk on it. Sometimes it made getting important messages through difficult. This was not all the time but it seemed the worse the fire, the more the chatter. You don't appear to have that problem.

Maybe risk analysis for your Firefighters but clearly not for yourself. Chief, entering the building is a really hard argument in this video.. no 2 in 2 out. You entered the building and said “multiple people trapped”. Did you rescue them? That would be the only possible justification for entering solo without PPE and that’s a stretch. You called the first Truck Co. to check the integrity of the roof yet you didn’t even think to throw a helmet on in case of falling debris/structural collapse? Your company officer came out and told you the fuel was carpet samples. Most carpet is made of nylon I think. Did you monitor the atmosphere for IDLH, including HCN prior to entry? I hope your ALS units carry Cyanokits? One last concern... You reported you had PAR. How did you know you had PAR? There was never a company by company PAR on the radio and you were in your car. I’m not trying to be a jerk at all but if you’re going to put this stuff out there for everyone, including impressionable probie Firefighters then you need to take a serious look at whether you really did do a good tactical risk-benefit analysis. Maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to do a little after action analysis of your vids to teach the newer guys what worked well and what needs to be changed. Just my two cents but please be safe out there.

If I had a helmet cam, I’d post all my screw ups as a “what not to do”. Like in any firehouse, if you’re going to post on here for Firefighters to see them you have to expect some brutal honesty, nothing personal.

What type of radio system does your department use? Sounds like either digital or P25

As an ex-fire fighter from Australia I have two questions. 1. Do your trucks have hose reels? The vids I've watched you seem to always use a hose line. 2. Could you do a video showing the layout and capabilities of your trucks?

None of our trucks have reels. And yes, I will try to get a video out that shows our equipment.

The answer about trucks would vary based on the department in the USA. In the suburban Chicago area that I served, I don't recall any of the departments having trucks (aka ladders), towers, or snorkels configured with any hoses reels, nor did they carry any water. They were fit for arial purpose, and some might carry apartment (aka high rise) hose packs. I frequently see KZitem comments about why a truck is frequently dispatched to an auto accident. The reason is that in many departments, the trucks carry additional extrication equipment. If the dispatch is an auto accident with entrapment, it is quite common to see a truck dispatched, in addition to an engine, etc. In the USA, some departments have an apparatus called a quint, which is combo of a truck or tower and an engine (i.e. it will carry water and hose). Hope this helps!

Timothy J. Barron: how many floors up can an apartment hose pack reach?

@@adelefarough5123 In my time of service and department, an apartment pack referred to the pre-packed hose carried up to any floor for connection to a standpipe of a given floor. The bigger cities would call them high-rise packs.

@@adelefarough5123 Depending on the department, most hose packs are 100 or 150 feet. Most SOPs recommend that you hook the floor below and advance up to the fire floor giving you approximately 75 or 125 feet of working line.

Pile of carpet and construction debris, maybe spontaneous if there were oils/stains in that mixture. Orrrrr someone was not careful with their cigarette butt.

Fires happen everywhere, even fire stations. Shit Just happens. Anybody thinks this is funny because this a fire station, you’re just an absolute idiot. As you can see immediately the battalion chief called it out over the radio. he went into the building without his bunker gear and checked on the status of a fire or people inside the building. He then came back out and started to tell where the trucks need to go. Hopefully there wasn’t a lot lost at the station because it’s these guys’s tools that keep them alive when they’re out saving people. Looks like they were able to see the building and much of the other apparatus because I’m sure one of you don’t know how much it cost to buy a fire truck or a ladder truck or a squints or a ambulance etc. I’ll give you a hint it’s a lot of damn money. My hat is off to you Battalion chief, number one reason you posted this video, when many others would not post it. It shows what kind of person you are and you’re a person I would like to meet someday and hopefully have a drink and be friends with, you’re not a narcissist. I was a police officer in Stafford Police Department in Texas and there was a shooting right down the street from our station and everybody criticized us because we weren’t there within one minute, it’s because were out on calls if we were there within one minute then we wouldn’t be doing our job very well. However Stafford fire department which is right next-door to the police station was there within a minute or two and they completely understood why we weren’t there, and I completely understand why they weren’t there for this either.
