now this is what you call a great engineer/driver right here. doesnt just stay at the pump panel he moving with a purpose and throwing ladders and tagging his own hydrant
Here he should have added a second or half length. And it's not true that he's a great engineer and driver fire engine operator, because he walks everywhere and does other things. On this call, he does it because they are short-staffed, what is the sad reality for many fire departments with personnel not in fire stations 24/7. Yes in the circumstances, he does an excellent job. He works quickly and returns quickly to his engine. But in fact, an engine driver, should remain at his pump panel at all times, if it's in operation.
@@gillesrenaud6926Buddy you don’t have any idea what you’re talking about. The notion that a good engineer is one that sits at his pump and does nothing is a sad and terrible one there wasn’t a need for another 50-100 foot section yeah there was a bend at the hydrant but as long as the pressures good to the truck it doesn’t matter. This truck is by most peoples standards fully staffed with 4 people. A good engineer is never idle, a lot of if not all of the pumps these days are set it and forget it because of things like governors in the engine. I very rarely saw him walk anywhere he mainly jogged or ran. Just accept he did a solid job and move on.
@@paintballgaming1090 Not to criticize, since every call could be better, but if you're going out of your way to specifically defend the driver on innocent suggestions of how he could improve, I'll just point out: 1) running on a fire scene is a liability, is unsafe, degrades cognitive function and decision making, yet you're here praising it; 2) the attack line pressures were likely inadequate (at 8:22 you can see they're running at or under 100 psi, which would be inadequate factoring in friction loss to get any meaningful nozzle pressure when they are likely running 75-100 psi nozzles on a truck like this); 3) I don't understand all the fidgeting with the LDH intake; 4) if you have guys making an interior attack you should be at or near your panel and have a secondary water supply actively secured, not be wildly running around the scene operating on tank water; 5) should have been on hydrant water sooner, isolating tank water as a secondary reserve; 6) once on hydrant water, finally, tank to pump should have been shut off sooner, and tank fill opened more to fill up that secondary water supply. Failure to secure and maintain a secondary water supply isn't a matter of preference, it's a matter of insuring life safety. All that said, again, I'm not criticizing, just pointing out imperfections that could be improved upon for the next call since paintball seems to think this was perfect and without room for improvement. Don't we all get better by learning from our mistakes and the mistakes of others? That's the whole point of training. I'll mirror @gillesrenaud6926: great job under the circumstances, but there's always room for improvement.
@@idahomikeyes mistakes were made, nothing wrong with learning from it as you suggest however point 1 and 2… if you heard in the beginning as the truck was pulling out, a person was trapped on the balcony. To me that requires a sense of urgency not a walk. As for number 2, this engine uses a CAFS so traditional fire hydraulics is irrelevant. Not attempting to start an argument just encouraging a good conversation.
Bro you can drive for me anyday. Can’t believe how I was so anxious watching this. The chauffeur has soooo many things going on in the 1st 5 mins. Great job dude!! I like how you refill your booster tank after you get hydrant water. You never know when you’re gonna lose hydrant water and you got guys in there that are relying on you so great job, also to everybody watching notice how he never stops moving! He’s got his chores done and he’s throwing ladders and pulling line
I dont comment on videos but this one was impressive everyone calm and collective and moving with purpose exactly how fire grounds should run as well as an engineer that knows his job nicely done brother
I am a retired driver engineer once they pull that line and you're working off of tank water the clock is ticking get the supply line you wind up being a lifeline for them
As an Engineer, I completely agree with you. The secured water source is the Engineer's priority! This call depends on that water source. I will prepare the tools that will be needed for the firefighters for this call but my main priority is to get that water and keep watch of that pump panel. If the IC calls on the Engineer for anything, for example a deck gun or for the mayday horn, I will be right there at my engine ready to give it. My IC, captain and all my firefighters will always know that their Engineer is at that engine manning their fire pump. Even being short staffed, everyone of our firefighters is doing their job that they've trained for, just like the Engineer. Depending on the amount of water that engine is carrying, you're losing time, that's why the Engineer is tested on their ability to secure that water source right when the pump is activated. Me, personally, I had 2 minutes to secure my water source while pumping water to my crosslays before I ran out of water in my 1000 gallon tank. This was my priority!
Was first due on a single family dwelling. No hydrant access. Narrow driveway with very little room and no way to get trucks past each other. We were getting ready to make entry when our engineer stopped us. The engine would not go into pump. He messed around for 30 sec then went to plan B. He pulled a 25 foot section of 5in and attached it to the tanker then started pumping with the tanker using the engine basically like a giant manifold. We lost maybe 2 min instead of ten if we had to move the engine and restretch lines. This then became SOP for all fires without hydrant access. We called it piggybacking. Engine plus tanker was 3500 gallons and gave us time to set up drop tanks and get a tanker shuttle going.
This was awesome to watch. Everyone seemed to know exactly where to go what to do and worked together really well. Props to the engineer as well for doing so much to help out his team! Model work guys! Side note: that engine of yours looks beautiful, and it's organized so well.
This driver reminds me of my driver from when I was running a regular shift! Such a solid driver! Also I am loving that the rescue officer/chief (making an assumption based on the helmet) is rocking the old school 3/4 rubber boots and blue jeans!
I remember when Andy Batch was the chief back in the 1960's. Looks like the department is still doing well at fighting fires. Watching from my ocean condo in Florida.
I'm all for switching to supply but I see a few things. - The indicator on the cab was full (or nearly) green the entire time so must not have been using much water. Truck has CAFS as the uploader has pointed out and it carries 750 gallons of water. In Part 2 they start feeding a ladder and go down 1/4 before switching to the hydrant. - 09:55 Can see the overflow under the truck after the valve was cracked. - You do get a bit more control of the pressures by not relying on the supply. Especially if other hydrants nearby are getting used. Again, I'd rather switch and save some wear and tear on the vehicle. Plus the obvious "hydrant fails" scenario and every bit of tank water helps.
@@idahomike The reason for this is when using CAFS {compressed air foam system} you operate at a lower pressure. typically, running off of the hydrant will over pressurize the system, so in order to deal with that, tank water is used. Some trucks are designed with that in mind and have a direct tank fill valve which will bypass the pump, and keep the tank topped off.
Kudos to the driver/pump,operator. Got one line charged off booster tank, ran his own supply line, got it connected and flowing, got 2nd handling charged, set both ladders, and then made sure his guys were getting a good nozzle flow. Excellent work!!
Once you have hydrant tapped and flowing, whay not shut the tank to pump handle? I only say this as you want to have that tank as a back up in case hydrant goes haywire.
I noticed that too. When you switch to pump your tank you're supposed to open up the TANK TO PUMP all the way until you secure a water source then you can close it. It looked like he was opening and closing it.
What’s the point of putting the attachment on the side of the hydrant, I have never understood that. Couldn’t u just leave the cap on? Not trying to critique I’m just a curious first year FF
Incident Priorities: Life Safety they thought someone was trapped so they went for the rescue first. Incident Stabilization: Stretching at the same time as rescue and the line crew got their own water. Excellent Job! One question why doesn't the officer have or wear an SCBA?
@@gp3918 The pump has an auto governor on it, when he opened the hydrant intake the engine slowed down, The old trucks you had to run the throttle with one hand while opening supply with the other to keep from knocking the nozzle man off his feet.
I love the activity of the engineer. Just a question I have. Is gating down your intake a standard at your department. I have always been taught and always teach to never gate your intake down just gate your discharges.
Is it the mic on your camera or does your engine just sound hi-pitched? Also, nice work! I love seeing an engineer that's getting it done! Ive had a lot of lazy drivers in my day.
Not with the amount of water they are using, two- 1.75 lines use about 400 gpm, out of the 2000 gpm that supply line is capable of. If the engine was using everything it can then it can be an issue. Engineer has to be in good shape to be able to do the tasks required of him when short staffed. First in engines are always short staffed.
It's a pressure relief valve, which prevents pressure spikes from hydrant/second engine or tanker pressures from reaching the landlines used by firefighters
I'm wondering the same, once your running hydrant refill you tank and shut that off is what I have always been told and taught. That now tank that is full is used as an emergency situation only.
Helluva job by the engineer and the crew, yall on top of your shit. genuine question do yall use the foam for everything or was it just in this case? i personally haven’t seen it used in situation before.
Thank you and yes we pump foam on every fire. Our engine has CAFS and has a build in air compressor so it makes handling any size line much easier. There are tons of benefits to CAFS. The only downside is the cost to install it on an engine
First time seeing an Fire Engineer pushing buttons, fueling water from the water hydrant and turning knobs etc. to his fire truck, usually the other firemen does that since he already did the driving to the fire scene.
It’s gotta be just the sound quality but that pump sounds like it’s screeeaminggggg for help lol. Nice work, I’ll take a few of these little things the operator did into work with me tomorrow
Not sure why the video is labeled helmet cam. You can see him put on his helmet a few minutes into the video. This is a body cam, as the camera is clearly sitting on his chest between arms. Much respect to these crews doing what they do.
@@Shredderof_POWDA regardless of what the title says, the concept is the same. It’s a helmet cam the he decided to attach to his coat for this particular fire.
@@RCFD-C-Shift oh! I thought that there is like a valve that like.. shots down so cant pick up excess water while it's filling? Or some fire engines have that?
@@RCFD-C-Shift sure fooled me. The panel layout and the compartments look like the Stuphen I drive. Great video man!!! Talk about an example of a damn good engineer.
Calm and cool.... i dont mean to judge, but from the wear and tear on the equipment ( hose lines, turnout gear, ) it doesn't appear this is a normal situation... either way.. well done.. keep calm and go to work
Sorry brother, that is one sloppy supply line. Gotta call it like you see it, no hydrant wrap, no cribbing, either park closer next time or you’re stuck using another stick.
@@vicstanfieldshire7754 not true. We have a 10 foot and a 25 foot extension ldh that can be used if longer distance was needed. This was the correct distance.
Reports of a person trapped on the second floor balcony. Human life is obviously more important than hooking a hydrant immediately so he grabbed a ladder. We use CAFS so our onboard water supply goes much further than a standard engine.
@@RCFD-C-Shift ok I get that you have a supply in your tank but still don’t get opening and closing of the piston intake just open it and have a supply that has nothing to do with throwing ladders he already threw ladders before messing with his intake.
Do you guys pack a lip or anything during calls? Like maybe a pouch or something? I'd need something to help give me a jolt of alertness while also calming me down

@@RCFD-C-Shift sure fooled me. The panel layout and the compartments look like the Stuphen I drive. Great video man!!! Talk about an example of a damn good engineer.
Nice work. Nice engine.
solid work!
Calm and cool.... i dont mean to judge, but from the wear and tear on the equipment ( hose lines, turnout gear, ) it doesn't appear this is a normal situation... either way.. well done.. keep calm and go to work
Son wants to know what the yellow hook like thing he was holding while driving is & what it is for.
It’s just a holder for our headsets
Bonjour super la vidéo respect aux pompiers leurs travail pas facile leurs dévouement a sauver les gens et les biens
Sorry brother, that is one sloppy supply line. Gotta call it like you see it, no hydrant wrap, no cribbing, either park closer next time or you’re stuck using another stick.
@@vicstanfieldshire7754 not true. We have a 10 foot and a 25 foot extension ldh that can be used if longer distance was needed. This was the correct distance.
Smart thinking throwing the gated wye on before charging the hydrant. Things my probie ass would never think of til afterwards
What happened. How many home were lost.
The entire apartment building was torn down. Someone broke in 2 days after this fire and relit it
nice slide show
Pretty big fiire with very very few resources....terrible but grat work done
What took you so long to establish a water supply you opened your piston intake and then closed it multiple times?
Reports of a person trapped on the second floor balcony. Human life is obviously more important than hooking a hydrant immediately so he grabbed a ladder. We use CAFS so our onboard water supply goes much further than a standard engine.
@@RCFD-C-Shift ok I get that you have a supply in your tank but still don’t get opening and closing of the piston intake just open it and have a supply that has nothing to do with throwing ladders he already threw ladders before messing with his intake.
@@claycuthrell I don’t have an answer for why he did that
I had the same question. Open the intake and take that task off your plate.
Why does he hold that yellow thing when driving? So he doesnt bounce around?
Yep
Do you guys pack a lip or anything during calls? Like maybe a pouch or something? I'd need something to help give me a jolt of alertness while also calming me down
Of course 🤣
