@3:40 Guy vaping is like "this smoke is bad for my lungs, I better move"

This was actually very well done. People who don't understand fire service, & why certain things are done may not get it. The fire was knocked down fairly quickly with an interior attack (out of view). The fact that they were able to stop an old matchbox from getting out of control is a miracle in itself. Insurance will be able to restore the inside. This was well fought.

As the person before me said - the placement of that tower ladder was ridiculous. Made no sense at all whatsoever. Ladder truck operators are taught to get their turntable *just outside* the engine company on shorter buildings, right?! Right?!?!?!?! Tower should have either backed in (or gone straight in) just outside of the engine or pulled further forward in the first place. If they had gone to the viewer's right of the engine company they wouldn't have needed to reposition.

Great STOP guys, only a few negative comments. too many on the fireground without gear and the tower operator needs to go back to school and refresh him or herself on apparatus placement.

Hopefully the building on fire wasn't actually historic. It looks like it's newer, just designed to fit in with the older buildings around it.

Leesburg and other historic towns cant afford to lose historic buildings. Too many have been turned into parking and vacant lots already and tourists can see those anywhere.

I try not to be too critical of the volunteer departments after all they are doing for free what I get paid to do. That being said training is training and it could make your job a little easier. This by far isn’t the first department I’ve seen do this but you guys need to learn how to lay in a supply line. It makes absolutely no sense to pass right by a hydrant only to have a firefighter or worse yet your engineer hand-Jack a large diameter supply line back to a hydrant you just shot past. You have two choices; catch the hydrant on the way in and lay the line as you go, or pass the hydrant and go directly to the fire and let the second engine company lay a line from the hydrant to you. The way you guys are doing it is a waste of time and resources. I can understand if the hydrant is close say within 10 or 20 feet but don’t hump a supply line a city block. Work smart not hard. I’m not going even get started on the rocket scientist driving the areal truck.. 🤦‍♂️.

First arriving heavy, hats off. Great positioning and great on entry and can work. First due engine, perfect placement, a little slow to get your first line charged. Lines were coming off the engine properly, until random dude starting pulling off drivers side and then further line clutter where ladder should place. Yellow tower ladder, very poor placement, you couldn’t have made the roof of you tried from where you first step up. Need to work on placement. Stick ladder great job for a second due. I love to see the ground ladders placed at every window, whether placed correctly or not doesn’t matter as much to me as the OVM got em in place and made the effort to get it done.

Departments need to learn how to effectively use their ladder truck's because verticle ventilation is vital

I do not like to see crew members running at a fireground. Safety is paramount. Injured FFs become liabilities instead of assets. Why did the aerial tower operator stop & set up so short of the building. They were forced to reposition wasting time. Luckily they were not required to rescue citizens or FFs from the roof but the ventilation was not thoroughly performed so the engine crews were exposed to heavy smoke conditions & possible flashover. Please drill on these issues. This could have involved serious loss of life.

That lader truck could have pulled up closer.

Great video. Great hustle. Does anyone teach apparatus placement anymore?
