It was a beautiful house.

I live in that neighborhood less than a minute away!!

Well done to the FF in the video! Hope nobody was hurt and it's always sad to see such a beautiful house burned down.

How did the fire start?

It seems that the fire comes from the garage. when you take a close look you see the car inside is destroyed and above that is the most damage

Aye thats my house, its LIT

What the chief sits in his truck and everyone has to come and see him on his throne… sick!

@@BenjaminEsposti While I am sure this house has been rebuilt by now. For a fire this size, there will be multiple chief's, each with different responsibilities. I've seen several walking around. I would have liked it much better if they had used the ladder pipe earlier, but each department has their own protocol. First rule is life hazard. During that phase, property damage doesn't matter. It does appear that the fire started as a car fire in the garage. The white foamy stuff you see coming from some nozzles is lite water foam, used to make the water stick to the burning material. Fire science say you have to cool the fuel below it's ignition temperature, so making water stick gives it more time to work.

Hit it hard from the front yard how embarrassing! Just a quick question only because I wasn’t at the location why was no interior attack in motion ? I guess people pray and hope a surround and drown works now a days

Randy The video shows a Ton of information. Your question should have been, "Why did they use the stick?" When you are sizing up a fire, you have to ask yourself, "What is burning and where is it?" The room on the second floor and the attic where on fire. Can you SEE what's burning? No! If you can't see it, you have to go look for it. Putting water Blindly through holes in the building from the outside does not guaranty you will hit the Burning Material. You will also, destroy with water what the fire didn't get to. This fire needed the following. Climb to the second floor and thoroughly extinguish the fire in that room while someone cuts a small hole in the ceiling in the center of the attic. Then you open the nozzle to a 50% cone and insert it into the hole and wave it around to cover that entire attic. The Fire Is OUT! You saw them do Something like that at 18:00 but they used a straight stream that hits a small area and a lot of the water goes out through the roof. The department was set up when the video started so we don't know what happened before but, this was an interior attack from the beginning and might have been stopped before the video started.

Hey JB why didnt you use the deck gun. The fire was visible from the street. Also your tactic for extinguishing the attic fire is flawed. Look at the construction of this roof. There are several gables over a large area. Your punching a hole in the ceiling to extinguish blindly waving around a fog stream will unfortunately come up short. There is far too much area for one hose stream. Also again you are over estimating your fog stream to work around rafters and other structural members, AC plenums, and ducting. Because of the fact that you are only guessing at this technique and its effectiveness you are coming up short on your tactic again.

truck Next to Allcot, you are the biggest child on these videos. Your attitude disgusts me. Your ignorance of the Real World of fire fighting boggles the mind. Now for you childishness. "Use the Deck Gun"? Childish comment. "The fire was visible from the street" The FLAMES were visible, not the burning material inside! Childish! "your tactic for extinguishing the attic fire is flawed" Your entire existence is flawed! It's a big attic? Yes it is dickhead! So what do you do? You cut a number of holes One At A time to cover the entire attic. 50 years in construction tells me I know far more than you about construction not to mention my ability to use Common Sense rather than you Following the scientific Bull Shit that You memorize. I would have fires out and property saved long before You can put together one of your scientific Book Learned plans. When I see your name, I get the urge to scrap something off the bottom of my shoes and spit!

Why are they using foam?

I you see that they are n using the ladder truck

What’s the aerial boom doing

NO AERIAL ATTACK!!

Idk what the deal is with the ladder truck. It looks useless. And why are there firemen inside the fire trucks ? RETRAINING REQUIRED.

Cheap lightweight construction. Build 'em fast and cheap. We will never learn. Good hit, tragic for the homeowners.

Did they Squirt the water on the shingles and flames or on the burning material INSIDE the attic? 2. Did they have a spotter to the side to direct long streams of water onto the target? 3. How long did it take to get water through that front right window on the Visible Burning Material? 4. Did anyone go inside to extinguish this attic fire that was not visible from the outside? 5. Did the ladder nozzle have an Angle of Attack on the burning material or are they just destroying the interior with too much useless water? 6. Did they Surgically apply the water which means did they Think or Just squirt? See? That wasn't so hard!

CIA EMT @6:28 😉

This is pitiful at best. We dont use master streams on attic fires. This is an easy fire to manage. Access the second floor and extinguish the fire on the second floor. Then salvage the upstairs to protect the property. While that is happening a firefighter enters a bathroom on the second floor and pulls ceilings in that attic space. Stands on the counter top and begins to extinguish the fire. After the salvage operations are completed each room will have hose lines in place to manage the attic fires. Note that there are several gables so each gable must have a hose stream to manage that section of the structure.

What you said is that you will cut a small hole in the ceiling and wave a fog stream around with a 50 degree fog pattern and Voila, The fire is out. I have never said that ever. Yes you actually enter that structure but the above statement is as far as you go. Your simplistic view of this is what drives me to continue to attack your statements. You continue to avoid the facts and those are that your simple act of waving a fog stream will not extinguish the fire. There are too many obstacles in the attic space to hit everything that is burning. Period. So here is more shit for your shoe. And I enjoyed discrediting your statements again. That is what I get from interacting with you. The opportunity to discredit another moron.

Hey JB another blissfully ignorant group of statements allowing me the opportunity to discredit you. I will take your points one by one since you feel that I twist your pitiful statements. "Truck You're a frustrated Scientific Book Pusher AND, YOU, have to have it Your Way! You are disregarding my Basic and To The Point, K.I.S.S tactic about getting inside and fighting this through the ceiling. I said in one sentence what takes you volumes to get out. Fight this through the ceiling. Five words vs your long drawn out depiction." Yes, one sentence that lines out a method that will not work as you hope. I have already explained why. You are just too dumb to understand my point. "AND, this Really shows how much You are stuck in Books and Plans with No Action, you put the second floor fire out and THEN, while the space is Still full of smoke and the attic is raging, you take the time to cover the furnishings and then go room to room attacking the ceiling" Yes put out the second floor, easy job takes a couple of seconds or so. You can't work in a smokey environment? My department does this every day. We can salvage in the dark. But this shows your lack of knowledge. My department owns many power fans. One on each engine and two on each truck. I am sure that I can ventilate that structure very fast through the open window. As far as the attic raging. I dont care about the attic space. It is destroyed and will need to be re built so the property owner loses nothing by my tactic. Also in my plan I have pulled the ceiling in the fire room and begun to extinguish the attic fire. I also stated that I will have a firefighter in a bathroom which is likely off of the hallway on the second floor working that fire through the ceiling that he has accessed. "Think about this scene! You have to knock down that attic fire before the roof collapses on Those Furnishings and the FFers! You, will put people on a blanket brigade while there is Still a threat rather than have them opening ceilings with SMALL HOLES to Stop The Threat above??????????? You really think there is enough room and manpower to do blankets while a Fight for structural integrity is still going on". Here is the best part. You state that the roof will collapse and damage the furnishings and firefighters. WOW. You actually think that a roof of a single family dwelling will collapse into the living space. I thought that you were an expert in construction. 50 years of bitcheness. Did you know that there are ceiling joists in most ceilings? Did you know that heat rises. Did you know that out of all of the structural members that burn through in an attic fire. Ceilings joists are the least likely and the least damaged. It is rare to burn through a ceiling joist. In some vaulted ceilings that are truss constructed it may be possible over a long time to burn them through or pop off gusset plates. Why dont ceiling joists burn through? Because heat rises and insulation protects them. So if the roof structure fails it will fall on to the ceiling joists. Another issue for this is that the decking and shingles will burn through and the rafters will burn causing the load to be reduced on those joists. The joints at the bearing walls is very strong. This also decreases any true collapse issues. Also single family dwellings are very compartmentalized resulting in short spans between walls. So the interior walls support the ceiling joists drastically increasing the ability of the structure to hold up any roof materials from falling through the ceiling. So JB that statement means that you are not a thinker. You are just a moron. Opening small holes in the ceiling and flowing a fog stream will not stop that attic fire. I have already explained this to you . My tactic of direct accessing the attic with two hose lines through pulled ceilings and firefighters on attic ladders increases the ability of the firefighters to hit a larger portion of that attic fire. It will be clear as day in there because of the the extensive ventilation. As far as man power and room to work on the second floor. Yes!!! There is enough room for my crews to salvage a room. This can be done while the fire attack from the bathroom and the room that was burning and ceilings were pulled goes on. It takes 2 truck firefighters to salvage a room and contents. It takes one hose team to protect them. That is 3 guys per room. There are likely 3-4 bedrooms on the second floor. That is 12 firefighters plus the two fighting fire. Yea I think we can muster up 14 guys on a working fire. And they will all arrive on scene at nearly the same time. The first in company officer will give orders and the job will be carried out. Fast. faster than you will ever be with your incomplete tactic. "Your Plans come from a Book or Outline from a Desk Top, NOT, from the Real world. You PROTECT the furnishings by doing what I ALWAYS SAY but You don't listen to. "You stop the threat as Fast and Safely as you can while using the LEAST amount of water." That, takes an aggressive work ethic and the ability to THINK! "You get to the BM and adjust the Adjustable nozzle to cover the widest area while Still overpowering the energy of the fire or wind." Think about that instead of nitpicking just to TRY to prove yourself right by Twisting or disregarding my words". My plans do not come from a book. If so please show me that book. They do not come from an outline. They come from standard operating procedures that are broad enough to expand or modify based on the fire. These SOP's come from 140 years of fighting fire and developing tactics that are fast and effective based on a team approach. You know Real firefighting. Yea we do it a lot and save more property than any fire department I have ever seen. On a first alarm structure fire that is a confirmed fire we get 17 firefighters and 2 battalion chiefs. Nearly all of those firefighters arrive at the location of the fire at the same time. Those firefighters work as a unified team with the goal of protecting life and property in an aggressive manner. I have read every word you write and evaluate the things that you say. I have given you props when you are correct in your statements and I have explained to you why you are wrong. I will antagonize you because you are so pampas and arrogant. I have never twisted what you say but I do reject your simplistic approach as ineffective. An your approaches are ineffective and are likely dangerous to occupants and property. Your tactics will not work as you think they will and I have explained why several times to you. Your plans show your lack of experience and fore site. Your tactics are single dimensional. They reflect a though process of only having one firefighter on scene. There is never a team operation in your tactics. You only mention one person fighting fire. I dont nit pick you. I tell you that your plans wont work as well as you think. I cannot accept inaccuracies from myself and not from you either. I strive for providing the very best service every time. That does not come from books. It comes from a high degree of effort and training. The books just back up the operation by confirming the science behind the operation. Not the other way around. As in anything you must know the enemy. Fire is the enemy. How fire works and what works best based on physics and real live fire training. Tactics and SOP's are born from practical experience from decades of fighting fire. Understanding construction and how different types of construction will be effected by fire is a modifier of the SOP. Staffing requirements and availability are also a tactical modifiers. You only consider a one man fire crew. My 17 guys working together are much faster than your one guy approach. Now please answer me with another retort that shows your severe lack of knowledge so I can destroy you again.
