Great job "Truckies"!!!! Reminds me of the guys that backed up my Engine Co. They could open a roof almost as quick as it took us to get water on the fire.

Excellent videos, keep these coming!

Hi Jesse, it’s Tony, Devon’s dad. I met you at his wedding. Great videos, stay safe and be careful.

Top notch video!

Wow the firefighters really put themselves in harms way. The height made me dizzy. Thank you P.F.D. members.

You develop the learning curve (been there done that) we will learn from that.

Don’t understand guys getting off the truck … going to work without an air pak on their back , forget about not masking up . Just doesn’t make sense

If you're not going in you don't always need it. (i.e. roof/ov work)

I have been retired from the fire department since 96 there has been a lot of changes over time. Now I don't think I have ever seen yellow smoke from a fire, can someone explain why? Or what causes that.

Some types of insulation and plastics offgas like that. There are many different possible things that could have contributed to the color but it most likely was a form of a synthetic polymer or a petroleum product as I said before as I've seen it much more frequently in recent years too in our world of changing tech and increasingly dangerous fireloads.

Well at the rate he's going be less then 20. No excuse, my father was a fire fighter before proper PPE came out and even when it did they never ware it and I've seen what it can do to you without it. So there is no excuse now since they have better PPE.

I am not scared of heights but being that close to the edge at 7 minutes is not the most comfortable feeling for me.

Hey I am new to the fd and watching this helped me grasp the concept of venting, and so I thank you. Do you have any tips for me to help me out later in the future?

couple things Joshua use your pike pole to find weak spots that will cause you to fall through specially on flat roofs those are the most deceiving. 2 when working on a roof of any type be aware of your surroundings like electric lines over roof heavy air units cave faster than anything cause of weight. Watch for the feed head for electric they can shock you very quickly. If you wanna cool a fire room real fast use a semi fog pattern out a window it will also draw out the smoke. You can also use a ventilation fan turned backwards to create a draft inside the structure to clear heat and smoke. use a ventilation fan also to blow the fire back the same direction it was coming from to get a good handle on it quickly.

What’s the why behind that cut? I’ve never seen that tactic before.

In a typical Philly row home we sometimes "cut the barge board." If fire was impinging on the roofline from below, there is a good chance that it lit something inside the void space between the wall and the roof. You cut back a little to expose this space to check for flame, burnt wood, embers, and also to help ventilate. In this case the brown color of the smoke meant that some of the structural members were burning so we cut back to make sure the fire hadn't traveled up the wall and along the roofline.

@@lottnio8207 . Our training is in my opinion the best there is. And we train while working also. Everyday. Training prepares you as best it can for actual work, with safeguards obviously. Men have died training because it’s still risky as is the job. You say ‘train to walk with masks’ as if it’s a cut and dry thing. Well it’s not. We train in full gear. In a real fire unfortunately, things are dynamic and constantly changing. The more fires you go to the more experience you get. You learn from your peers and you see what works and what doesn’t work in your area. Wearing a mask on a roof in the rain at 3 am and operating power tools when the fire is below you may seem ‘cut and dry’. But you’d be wrong to think that. We all want to go home and we all want to avoid getting sick years later. We get paid for the risk we take and we try to keep ourselves safe but at the end of the day we have a job to do and we have to do it quickly. Monday morning quarterbacking from a video is easy to do.
