I have used a garden hose to put out a fire that had completely consumed the side of my neighbors house from a cigarette in a bucket. It worked. Maybe not in this guys situation, but in mine it did. At least he tried.

I would like to commend you for trying your upmost to try to help put with the fire. And what great work the brothers did also. Fantastic job!

Well done to that man for trying his best when others just stood videoing. He used his initiative with what was available at the time

This guy should be given credits from the neighborhood. He's a brave fighter who volunteered and came forward to help extinguish the structure fire.

Certainly isn't going to hurt. At least he stepped up to help

In the old days they used buckets, those didn't work either, but they didn't just stand and watch. Good effort good man

Give this guy an A for effort

Some people see a fire and just keep driving then there’s the people that stop and try to help well done!

Every little bit helps. You can't fault someone for making the effort.

He gets an A for effort in my book. At least he tried something instead of just standing there shooting video.

I’m just saying those are some AMAZING fire detectors. They were still going off, even when the building was so hot that the glass was literally shattering from it

When the fire department arrives they need to size up the building and the fire. It also takes time to flake out a hose and get water on the fire. The most likely reason that the fire grew so fast is because most material that we use in our house is made of synthetic materials such as plastic.

Quite. Water should be flowing within 30 seconds of attendance. So much meaningless activity with ladders and firefighters milling around while next door caught fire.

We train when we can, so don’t put us down cuz we can’t train as good as them, least we try to. My departments can only train about once a month for a few hours and then we go to our 2nd jobs, in order to survive in this day and time.

good on you for giving it a go. You may have slowed down the progress of the fire. Every little bit helps.

Nice work by fdny keep it up 🚒🇺🇸🧑‍🚒

you would be surprised what a garden hose with decent pressure, and proper application can stop. in my city a 5/8" garden hose makes 8gal a min. i watched a asst chief kill a large sofa n recliner fire with one, using his thumb as a nozzle

You have a new sub ✌🏼

We responded to a kitchen fire one night. On arrival, the kitchen was totally gutted, with a little extension into the dining room, but the homeowner had it extinguished with a garden hose!

That is going pretty good

Good effort given, but focus on the next building along with that garden hose would have been a better choice.

Damn good job 👍

That's your local fire fighter

Ladder 126....can and irons with the quickness. Nice!

A 5/8 inch hose can do a lot with the right nozzle. The pistol style nozzle restricts flow. There is a type of nozzle that is styled similar to the larger ones fire fighters use on their larger diameter lines. The key is water as soon as possible. And keeping the fire small. Fire needs heat, fuel, and oxygen to burn. If the volume of water reduces the heat. The fire will be controlled.

@liamfdny7521

Thats not a 5/8 hose. Thats a 2 1/2 hose line. I would like you to strech that hose line more than 300 feet in that building. Thats not a easy fire. Atleast 20 trucks where needed, and over 4 handlinrs stretched

I've seen the roof of a garage next to a well involved house protected by a garden hose. A garden hose for a "main line" on the "seat of the fire" is like peeing in the ocean, nothing is going to happen.

Love how they just leave the exposure on the right side to burn away merrily, allowing it to extend to a second property.

Placement looked fine to me. Stick set up, line to the door and vent started quickly. Also the first line on the main body of fire was the right call. Comment after you have real fire experience.

Difference in fire services. Australian fire trucks carry 1500-2000L of water for an initial fast attack (rescue) while the pumpie then accesses a hydrant.

Nice to see FDNY hustle upon arrival. Big ups to Ladder Co. 126.

The window on the side was the best option because the air was getting sucked in through that window. So you have more water penetrating the house. At least keep the hose on one window and not switching all the time. But is doen't matter because the hose was not giving enough water to do anything. But that all said, you helping those people was great. You did what you could.

It always amazes me how long it takes them to get just one hose on the fire...you do the math. My mate is a fireman and he still has nightmares about retrieving babies the next day. Couldn’t do that job...brave men and women.

A garden hose applied to the source in the proper situation can definately slow down or stop a fire. You are more intelligent than most fire departments I see on here. At least you put water on the fire. Great attempt! I would love to have a neighbor like you

Maybe bought a minute or 2. Worth the effort for sure.

Just a little tip: A 45 degree spray pattern would have darkened the fire down a bit better. It creates little drops that cool the fire better than a straight stream that just smash into the wall. I have say I would have done the same thing. You have to use what you got and you did!

You are almost spot on Linda. Unlike that useless human, Virgil. The size of the water cone has to penetrate the energy of the fire or wind to reach the burning material. Steam alone, especially when the space is extensively vented like that, won't soak the burning material much. His problem was the lack of pressure behind that water. opening it up to a cone would have allowed the flames to blow it away.

The house next door caught on fire too and the firefighters didn’t do anything about it, most were just standing there letting it burn. It’s hard to watch when a quick blast of water would prevent it from spreading.

Yes, that was hard to watch

Whatever you can do to safely contain the fire is good... if the fire is too big or you don't know what your doing enough to be safe let the fire department handle it

Actually yes you can but it takes practice and knowing where to aim the water stream. To do this a call the FD then grab the hose and aim the stream at the base of the fire to achieve a knockdown of the fire intensity. Do not enter the structure under any circumstance this would be extremely dangerous.

my advice is: if you have time to move ANY vehicles near the burning building, do so, it gives more room for fire fighters to move around and for the incoming fire trucks..

Good on him for trying. But the quantity of water vs the amount of heat and fule that fire already has was always going to be a losing battle, sadly. Kudos to him though.

Great effort but unfortunately regular house hoses just simply don’t offer enough water pressure to put out fires.

5 stars for your effort

Every drop of water out of that garden hose is evaporated within a foot of passing the windowsill. There's a reason firefighters put a ton of water on fires.

I've seen one guy with a garden hose contain/slow a fire spread enough before the FD arrives to limit the damage to the one unit.

Really it had no effect, but that said, you might have had more luck if you could get closer and shoot the water through the window, in the direction of the ceiling. I doubt the water would've had a great deal of effect, because that room flashed over with temperatures easily 1100 degrees Fahrenheit at the ceiling.
