Training fire on 10/10/15. First wiffs of smoke through flash over and collapse. Caution: may contain some strong language. Flashover at 10:35, house caves in at 18:55

It’s amazing how fast and furious those flames are.
Looks like the roof was collapsed from an earlier fire, storm damage or structural damage. Plus you can see it was converted to 4 apartments (quadruple meter box seen at the corner of the house in the opening shot), and when a big old house is turned to apartments, it is usually really tore up on the inside with few original fixtures / details left.
Beautiful house, it's a shame. I wonder the possibilities that this could've been renovated....

The roof looked like it had a lot of damage to it. Would have been nice if they would have done a video walk through before lighting it off. The yard was well kept. Nice stone retaining wall. The vampires living in the basement weren’t too happy.
Another gorgeous old home gone, I would have loved to have seen the inside and I loved the porch...so sad.

Material things have a finite life span.
If they did not conduct drills, they blew a great opportunity. A department I was on we trained on a house. We split it into two days. 1st day was drills. Advancing hose lines, search, ventilation, building construction, RIT. We invented our mutual aid partners and worked on tanker shuttle and command structure. 2nd day burned it to the ground. Never ever never miss an opportunity to learn or teach.

To all asking "why, this house looked to be good" it usually comes down to the property owner want's an old run down house removed and it's cheaper to let the FD use it for training in which they burn it to the ground leaving next to nothing but ash to clean up or like in the case of one I got to photo/video about 20 years ago when a friend was a volunteer FF, the house was only 40 y/o and still lived in until a month prior to the burn, the owners were in their 60s and ready to move away for retirement and sold it an the 20 acres it sat on to a developer who planed to build around 40 new houses and again if they donate it it saves them demolition costs and in same states may get you a tax write off.

Title was training burn. All I saw was light a hose on fire and watch it burn??? Was the training not filmed? There was no going in and knocking it down some then next group or any rescues practiced or self rescues.

Correct , no training taking place here , its just an excuse to burn down an old house instead of demolishing it and recycling the wood.
This is why we don't build wooden houses in Holland since 1550. It was banned. I would not sleep in a building like this, it's a accident waiting to happen.

@@z.weertje7209 It's true. I lived in Holland and Germany while in the military, and even the new places I saw being built were all concrete or blocks. The roofs had wood beams, yes, but thick ones and tile or slate roofs. Good, solid builds!

The fire chief was yelling " 1, 2, 3" so that those in back of the house could switch from containing trees and yard to make sure the house fire was being kept contained and wouldn't spread to neighboring homes. It's standard procedure during containment training. A family friend of mine who was a member of a fire department taught me this.
What training?
What the h*ll kinda scream was that at 13:06 - 13:08 ?????
Who filmed this? Michael J. Fox?
It looked more like just having a fire rather than training. The ones I have seen they started the fire and practice putting it out a couple of times then let it burn.
It looks like to me maybe the people who owned the house did not want to go through the expense of renovating the house they probably better just to burn it down.
Are you kidding me? That is a very nice house. At today's real estate prices it would go for maybe $150K.

You can see a lot of damage to the roof, possibly rotten rafters and no telling what else. No doubt a very nice house back in the day, maybe even in the nineties.

When the FD uses a donated house for a training fire once there are done they bring it to the ground by preforming a controlled burn, they are spraying it to keep the fire contained to that particular house and not spread from it.
That is NOT a training burn ! Obviously the FD provided the demolition of this structure as a favor to someone.

I was hoping to see the flashover as it happened but he was walking aroun. =(
I agree with Mary such a pretty house 🏠
Was that an air conditioner that burned? Usually the firemen remove any refrigerant containing appliances before they burn a house. The A/C is visible at the very beginning of the video sticking through the second floor wall.
Poor dog. Made to watch a get stressed out
You could do this at night

homeless people watching like WTF!!
Firefighters training with a real fire should treat it like a real fire. Way too many firefighters not wearing their turnout gear and then handling equipment to go active on the fire. Very poor training practices. Give it a “D” grade. Practice as if it’s the real thing!
Why bring young children?
Sure....bring the kids. Jeez.
What a waste
And wasting rax dollars amd water
The cause of that fire was careless smoking
Shame about the house and I wish the barking, whining dog didn't sound like it was in the burning building. Sorry but for that I'm giving this video a thumbs down. It should not be near the building of smoke.
That the filmmaker can't leave his shitty feet in one place is super annoying.
Embarrassing, polluting and pointless.
