Great video, awesome to see the chief put out a fire. Our fire chief helpes us with every fire we respond to. We are a small volunteer fire department with 7 people, but we usually have 1-3 respond all the time. We do our best. Thanks for the upload.

Oh i agree with that but the town should never let the place get to that stage. Shame on the town

Great video chief!

I have always said this, chiefs are firefighters first. There’s no reason why you can’t get on the hose line when you don’t have the manpower. I’m also a strong believer in there’s no need in 800 fd suvs at a scene. Great work and great knock down. Keep up the good work and stay safe

We do end up with quite a few SUVs on scenes, but we know as chiefs when we respond mutual aid we're flexible to operate at any level -- task, tactical, or strategy. And always firefighters first.

That place was nothing but a dump. How does a town let that happen.

Beast mode….love that, I used to love it when I was deputy chief and the rig was short staffed. Never miss a chance to take the knob in on initial attack. Man I miss it, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Keep up the strong work and above all, everybody goes home.

Do what you gotta do till more crews arrive. great knock boy them Horder conditions make for lots of fuel and hard to get to the building especially with a hose line. good job best regards from Maine

Dang, yall catch a lot of fires. Great work chief. I bet you lit up when you heard help with fire attack probably getting tired of sitting in that Durango

We’ve got a good working arrangement between chiefs, especially with this jurisdiction. We’re big on putting chiefs inside as division supervisors - among many other benefits, it’s consistent when the experience and comfort of our crews is not always consistent thanks to the home-response model. I’m usually only in the Durango for first-due fires. And, always, a firefighter first! Edit to add: the other benefit (obviously I wasn’t the division sup here) is we can fill any role, and we expect each other to if we need to. Once strong command is in place, other chiefs can serve wherever we’re needed - which is usually on the line during the daytime.

14:42 love the sarcastic Canadian-isms.

Gotta' love Iron manning it. Be Safe!

A firefighter’s nightmare. The water pressure there sucks!

I wouldn't waste my water on that dump.

Do what you have to do to get the wet stuff on the red stuff.

Nice attack Chief!!

I hate to be negative but, the house along with the yard needed to be bulldozed and sent to a garbage dump.

Well all this is " STUFF " we all have STUFF , just some folks collect more or hold onto more STUFF , we all judge on OUR STUFF compared to who has how much . Putting out a FIRE if what these fire fighters do and don't judge other folks STUFF, it all burns . Short changed on manpower is a safety issue. Good safe guys, do what you can do.

Well said. No judgment here, just a job to do.

As a Wood county resident, i would think a man in your position would come up with a more professional way of throwing our county employees under the bus.

I've removed that portion of the video from this link. In the description, it mentioned I was not referring to Wood County. I recently trained all their dispatchers and they were laughing at how many times I posted a caveat that I wasn't talking about them. I apologize for my offensive language. It came from a place of emotion based in the fact that the agency I was referring to made a mistake that cost valuable seconds when responding to a house fire. I take my responsibilities and our profession seriously, and personally, and I let that get the best of me when I responded that way in the discussion. -Chief Barrett Dorner, firechief@laketwp.com

Again why don’t they just ask for mutual aid!!!!!

They did. This was a five department response, but this was a daytime fire when it’s difficult to staff for primarily home-response-based departments.

Hey chief was that a horner house
