I have PTSD from being burnt in a kitchen 🔥. It's no joke. It's so bad that if I see smoke near my apartment. I go and watch. That's helped me cope along with therapy. Best of luck to you, Steve, and keep up the good work.

Thanks for the comment. Take care and sorry to hear about your PTS.

The fact that there are so many guys on here that dont understand why we vent the roof is alarming lol

Calm and cool I love it! Great job brothers. Omg the guy who threw the ladder on the opposite building in the beginning and then threw the fly on the house fire. His power level is over 9000. Amazing video!

Too many armchair firefighters here. While i DEFINITELY agree that this couldve been done better, it doesnt deserve all this hate. Yes, he shouldve worn gloves, but that doesnt mean you borderline insult the uploader or the firefighter. They got the job done, and if you really think someones gonna get hurt by doing things like this, get out of the comments section and email KCFD.

I’d like to see all these rude commenters try and work this job for a week. Great work stopping the fire, brave job indeed!! Respect to all the firefighters out there

Nice work..

Have a question. When you graduate from the fire academy, who decides if you’re on engine or truck crew? Always wanted to be a firefighter or law enforcement. Unfortunately, got sick with RA. Thank you for posting these videos. Gives me a taste of what I would have been experiencing. Be safe & thank you for what you do.

Hello Todd. Each department is different but in Kansas City Kansas you rove around to most of the stations your first year+ and then you can find a crew/rig/truck or pumper to go to.

Like the OP said every department is different. My department and most other departments in my area you're assigned to a station, not a company. Each shift/tour you will be assigned to one of the apparatuses (engine, truck, booster, medic/ambulance etc.). It may be that your station officer rotates everyone around each tour, or they decide to keep certain people on certain apparatus each tour. Officer and driver are usually specifically assigned to an apparatus. Other departments you may actually be assigned to a specific company, which I personally think is better. For example, FDNY

good job in all but sound that roof first before stepping on it, be safe .

Only one roof ladder? No gloves on or on air while cutting on da roof? Where’s the second roof ladder? Secondary means of egress if it goes to shit? Stay safe out there KCFD!! 🔥

Can someone with FF knowledge explain what they are doing when they poke holes in the roof and remove the wood around the burnt out doorways?

punching out holes on the roof is to create ventilation ports to make interior conditions more tenable for interior crews and any potential victims. this is only done once interior crews have begun fire attack though. as far as the wood around burn doorways the other person already hit that one

I am all for ground ladders but you have a ladder truck, why not use that as you main roof access?

Tank Water should be flowing through one of those windows by the 1:05-1:15 mark. There is absolutely NO REASON to climb up on the main roof of the house. The porch roof? Absolutely, for better access for the introduction of more water into that room. 3:00 Still no water but they are doing everything BUT, eliminate the threat to any victims, entering firefighters and the structure. In other words, completely dropping the ball. They unnecessarily risk their lives on the roof and now have damaged the roof while accomplishing absolutely nothing.

Advocating an exterior attack on a 3 story top floor fire while also criticizing for doing nothing to help possibly trapped occupants - yup, you drank the UL/NIST kool-aid alright. Looks like they got a pretty fast knock on the fire. Very limited damages and extension. Great interior visibility. Attacking strategy and tactics at jobs that go well just makes you an idiot.
