Although officers had to damn near baby sit and hold the roof crews hand through doing roof work it was still a pretty good knock and they did good saving the structure for restoration work to be done in the future and not having to demo the entire thing. They stretched a line and went interior immediately, made the push and laddered the SHIT out of the dwelling. Good on them it’s a shame that new Kensington companies don’t take notes from their mutual aid departments when on one of their jobs to see what an interior attack looks like.

The roof never needs to be cut at any fire. Horizontal venting will do the same thing faster and safer and give you access to the burning material through those windows for fast and safe extinguishment to protect the victims and entering firefighters.

Just saying my background not showing you my gonads LOL.All that aside, generally you open roofs on fires that can’t be well vented through windows. That place was chugging smoke on arrival, but once they knocked it down and gave it a couple minutes it was venting itself nicely through the eaves and gable ends. Years ago that was the bread and butter to get up there and cut it open but there really needs to be a need. For example high heat inside when people are working or being kept from advancing. If you can see daylight straight through the house as in our case here windows are good. Knock it, back off and watch that things get smaller,grayer and less pressurized as a couple minutes pass. Maybe send somebody up to look around too. Even if it got into the attic you can you pop a couple holes and open a fog nozzle up there and that would take care of that. Not knocking you just giving some context.

With the volume of fire they had; they most surely wanted to check for exposure to the attic. And it's hard to pull ceilings down with very hot smoke and steam at neck level. But what's really a pain is taking up and going back to the station only to get called back out for the attic re-ignition. A lot of people are going to be mad, and if it wasn't a total loss; it would be then. So there are several purposes. Those are just a few of the obvious ones. As long as those FFs know that the ladder is in a different place, sure. And yes you can do opposing lines if you coordinate well. Particularly if you have the bulk of the fire knocked down and you can see the crew on the other side. The porch in the back would be too small to run your backup line in there. In the case of an emergency evac, there would have been a deadly bottleneck at the door and on deck. Conditions were pretty ripe, so I would not have wanted two hoses going in the same door either.

I’d rather have my guys come up to me and tell me they don’t feel comfortable doing something then to have them doubting something that could hurt them or guys around them . There’s plenty of other things they could have done instead . But I know pride kinda gets in the way sometimes and the fear of others looking at you like a coward . But safety comes before anything.

Finally! An intelligent person leaves a comment on a fire video. I will interject a few things to consider. 1. There isn't enough information to determine if this was a good or bad knock down although they did look aggressive and did bring a charged line into the rear slider. 2. It looked like that front room could have used some water from a second line instead of extinguishing it through the rear door. Seconds count! 3. Roof opps are generally useless and expose the firefighters to unnecessary risk. The front window and back sliding door were venting along with the soffit vents. Opening a hole early on would have turned this into a structure fire when the flames entered the hole in the ceiling and ignited the smoldering attic gasses. The only thing that would have changed inside with VVing is the fire would have gotten worse if water wasn't immediately applied. 4. The way you put safety before anything including Search and Rescue is to eliminate the threats before going inside. You can vent fire room windows and get tank water on Visible Burning Material faster than you can get fully dressed, assemble and entry team and get the door open. They led the interior assault with a charged line which showed that intent. Vertical Venting is an unnecessary danger to firefighters.

@@JB91710 Horizontal venting is not as effective as vertical venting. You're essentially giving the smoke a path to go so that visibility on the interior improves, as well as reducing the risk of backdraft. Because of how the smoke and fire works, horizontal venting only really helps with backdrafts as visibility is still going to be awful. You don't vent to make the fire any better. It does the opposite. It's why you don't vent every fire, or at least do it at a different time when certain areas are under control already.

@@reonthornton685 There is definitely a place for vertical ventilation. But by the time they finally got to the roof the fire was essentially done and over with and was useless. Getting the roof open very early in the fire is what we strive for. These guys just used it as a training opportunity.

@@hihfty Then they likely could not have got it done early as they'd be too slow. It still reduces the risk of reignition though by allowing for faster cooling so it's not useless. This obviously doesn't include any rooms with backdrafts forming though since they are already too hot. This isn't the primary function though by any means.

With the shit gas we use today fire departments should only be using ethanol-free gasoline in all saws and even generators and gas fans as the ethanol in the fuel degrades all components of the fuel system in these small engines.

@@toddament8035 No doubt. But even starting and running them regularly will keep the fuel fresh and flowing. If not used, our saws, extrication power units, & fans were run every week. We found that was good for our gas powered tools. Start on the 1st or 2nd pull.

Sorry Steven; I had to laugh when you got down range of the hydraulic venting at 7:45 Good work on your videography efforts. If I may suggest; while these guys know you, and you know to stay clear; broader steadier shots can provide more story than awkward up close ones. It'll have the additional advantage of you not having to move as much. That said: Better use of SCBA, not textbook but better. Still a strong argument for drills; and looks like some MSC&C exercises. Pleased to see command using the radio. Stay safe guys.

Thanks for the reply. I'm really a photographer that decided to start doing video, too. I pretty much just try to hold the camera steady while I'm taking pictures, but I do have to move that hand to zoom, change settings, etc.., so the 'video hand' is all over the place. I recently picked up a GoPro 9 with horizon leveling and stabilization which keeps everything smooth, but I don't always have it with me. This call came in on my way home from work...luckily I had a couple cameras in the car.

The occupant was trapped in a C-side bedroom, with heavy fire. The PD rescued the occupant as I was getting out of my vehicle, which is also when the first due arrived. I pass the occupant on a gurney when I first go between the houses, but didn't/wouldn't film them.

Seeing a firefighter use a dangerous aluminum ladder is weird because they conduct electricity......you'd think fiberglass would be all they would use

Hit the aloha side with the deck gun!!!! (Only if it’s not going to cook the guys) Sucks how they’re under utilized. While you’re at it Grab a fan too!

Not to belabor the point .... but .... you made your access on an elevated wood framed deck. What was your escape plan? Front door access would have been a smarter choice. Remember, constructive criticism, while hurtful to your pride, improves performance and saves lives (including yours).

I don't know where to start No water supply Initial attack line should have went through the front door No ladders thrown Lots of people doing nothing.
