Impressive big water defense. That FD knows how to run a tanker show.

Hi JB, I do agree to appoint, we don't know if they started an interior attack but were withdrawn because the floors were unsafe or the ceiling started to come down or simply the officer in charge decided to pull crews because he was not happy on what he was seeing. But from what we can see, its a group of Ff 's standing around directing jets of water through the windows. If the crews did go in but were withdrawn because the officer in charge was not happy, as long as the building is structurally safe ie there's no collapse, the crews should be able carry out an interior attack, jobs like this are good to use as a training scenario, its not every job do you get to go into fight the fire, especially if your experience is limited, you can stay calm when you are carrying out a search while your mates are fighting the fire. In the UK we have protocols so we don't walk around wearing BA if we are not going to need it.

I would like to see the drone footage. Will that be posted or do you know if the gentleman will post it?

As a Listed PSFA Local Level Fire Instructor it is encouraging to see quality work done by a FD as seen in this clip. My condolences to the residents on their loss and thanks to the OIC' S on this job for using common sense and keeping it to a Exterior Attack . Many would have tried a Interior Attack on this Wood Frame Triple Decker and would have gotten their back ends handed to them . Excellent Tanker & LDH Work on this job. This Job / Clip should be used as training film to set the standard in how to safely work these Old Wood Frames Jobs here in the Coal Region . Good Job men and much thanks for working this job safely. In doing so you just set a strong standard here for many FD' s to follow. Keep up the great work !

Mercedes I wish you well in rebuilding your life. You have a great attitude projecting through the hurt you must feel. I can only offer prayers that you will recover quickly. Please come back to this video sometime down the road when you have recovered and let us know how you are doing. I'll definitely be praying.

Richard Johnson thank you and we are just trying to stay positive

That is a big Fire and great team work to the Company's involved.

nice shot of surround and drown

Aggressive interior attack would have done the job a lot faster. Why are all the firefighters wearing air packs if they're not going in. From the looks of their clean bunking gear it looks like they don't make many interior attacks.

You a firefighter??????

That smoke reminds me of F5 tornado funnels. Anyone know how this fire started?

As best I could tell the house next door did not burn. Many times with houses so close two or three burn. Normally we don't see them so close in Texas. Good job fire department.

This department knows how to fight some fire‼️🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾

you need to do something about the shaky video when you're mobile...maybe get a camera gimbal

Was a defensive attack? Haven't seen anyone entered the building yet

How many people lived in that place?

fun fact: i used to live there

got a hydrant right in front of the fire building but they have to bring two alarms worth of tankers in?? I hope that town has hired a new public works director since this fire.

strange according to google maps in oct 16 people are living in and now the windows are boarded

yvon malette there was a fire the night before at this same building. The residence were all out the place was boarded up and utilities were cut off the time this fire started.

I wouldnt have gone inside either.. Its abondaned and not worth life or injury. Defensive is defensive but I dont understand why keep wearing air packs and not use more master stream.

Good job , You could cook chinese food in all that steam

I read the comment from Stephen M and then a few comments down there is a season firefighter that would go inside. Wow I'm happy not to be on that crew, if he is a firefighter.

Anthony Sampson Armchair wannabe that sits behind a computer screen.

Glad to see they got after it with masters, big fire=big water. A lot of departments seem really reluctant to hit it early??? Stay safe men, everybody goes home.

I live in the house across the street

Certainly a great logistics exercise, but extinguishment? no! Master streams do not fight a structure fire, manpower does. Manpower applying water aggressively and digging the fire out of the structure. Let it (or make it) vent and come in under it. While as a retired professional, my outlook tends to negate the ethical question of asking volunteers to take undue risks, as we routinely did, the initial structural integrity warranted a more offensive posture.

that building is now destroyed from the fire

At the time the video starts the firefighters are doing, what appears to be, the only tactic possible. That being, drown the fire structure from exterior vantage points and protect THEIR lives and the exposures.

People who resort to surround and drown do so because they can't Think of anything else to do.

I bet there were a lot of surround and drowns in Buttfuck,Vermont back in the day. That is surround and drown the smoking pile of rubble what used to be a home.

Pertaining to this fire our initial crew was only 4 guys. When we arrived the entire floor was on fire. We were given orders not to go in. And from there it was a defensive fight.

Wow, what a shocker. I just bet a racehorse, then came over to kill some time, and watched this video.Then I see the back of one of the men, states Mahoning Valley on his jacket. That's where I just bet the horse! What's the odds on that, pratell

Good tip man and a few hooks would have handled this.
