Please keep the great videos coming. I'm a new Probie on the VFD in my hometown (4 months on the dept. now) and enjoy the education intent of the videos. I am the newest addition to the extremely long line of volunteer firefighters in my family. I absolutely love the job
@@Firefighter125 I have a bad habit of pushing myself as hard as I possibly can physically and as you know wearing all the gear and a tank you won't last long good job stay safe
Bad call by the chief (me) to call for PPV. I’m normally not a fan of the fan, this one reiterated why. Also, if the fan is to be used it should at a minimum cover the top part of the door where the smoke is coming from. The bottom portion of the door has already had cool air smoke entrainment. By putting air in the bottom portion, you add to the smoke entrainment and flashover develops quickly as seen here.
Never did like abandoned building fires, you never know what was left inside the structure. Here in upstate NY in the Adirondack region we have old barns, cabins, and houses that have been left for years and there is no telling what was left inside. Had a few abandon barns and garages we went to that had 55 gallon barrels of used oil, stacks of greasy rags, and old farm equipment. Just goes to show that you never know what to expect when you arrive.
Pretty much the same story here in Vermont. All sorts of old abandoned things way the fuck out in the middle of nowhere in the woods where you would never know it was at
Nice job. Our brush fire season has just begun and they are saying we are going to be in a drought in most of the northwest so might be a fun year. Our last structure fire started a grass fire.
Thank you. We've had alot of car wrecks this year. Lower fires, maybe. Who knows about brush season! It will all depend if the wind comes at us and the humidity is low. It's been raining forever here, lately.
@@Firefighter125 it’s been a slow season down here in Texas, we’ve had a lot of rain so most of our brush fires were before all the rain or during a structure fire turned brush.
It has been on our list of unoccupied houses for a long time. We all live in the area and are familiar with it. The call came from a neighbor and not an occupant. There is always the remote possibility of someone staying in there illegally, but it would have been uninhabitable to human life with those conditions found upon our arrival.
I’m sorry but that was pathetic. #1 that is Not fully involved, #2 how do you know there’s no one in there? Ever heard of a squatter? Homeless people will shack up ANYWHERE. #3 you guys flashed that joint all by yourselves. If you had half a pair of nuts to go interior and out the fire out, you wouldn’t have had that problem. I realize that it didn’t really matter here, because you already wrote off any possible occupants. But I hope you don’t set up a fan that early on all of your fires. Please go get some training.
Thanks for watching Mike. Indeed the fan was set up too early, and that is the point of the video share. Side entry was not possible due to roof compromise. There is always a remote chance of squatter but we would not initiate an aggressive search with no such information on a well know abandoned structure. As far as 'nuts' go, we will risk a lot to save a lot, and risk little to save little. This can change during any response to any scene.

Great job
You must be in better shape than I am running back-to-back air tanks while you're throwing stuff around and running a hose is no easy task
I can go 2 tanks if I’m not too hot. It was a cool, wet morning and I was well rested. 90 degree day that’s not happening.

@@Firefighter125 there’s been more than one occasion the chief has had to make you rehab.

@@brettlunsford157 shit happens. The important thing is learning from what doesn't go well, and putting that lesson to use in future incidents

Thanks bro. Where are you located?
@@Firefighter125 I'm in a small town, Milton-freewater, Oregon on the Washington border.
Not fully envolved upon arrival
Great upload! Has it been a slow year so far in drum right? Do you think y’all will have a bad brush season?

Don't gotta be so rude about things bud
Right on 2 of them
@@chrisbatten2432 and which one isn’t right?
@@Firefighter125 you should really treat every structure as occupied until YOU have proven otherwise. You owe that to the public you serve
