Ladder crew is off the hook. Tillerman was out and ready to battle in less than 30 seconds and got water on the fire with the extinguisher as a first priority. Top notch job guys!
Well it might be a small effect, but it surely buyed the other crews some time to get the line out. Thats why i think everyone should know how to use a fire extinguisher. Even when its not enough to extinguish the whole fire, the few minutes it can buy is totally worth it! Especially when the fire department is still on route.
I have probably watched over a hundred fire videos in the last 6 months and this was by far the fastest hustle and attack I've ever seen. No other department even comes close!
Yeah definitely a good video to show future truckies what not to do. Nothing like wasting your can. It should be saved as a lifeline for victim or firefighter survivability while searching. He wasted it on an exterior portion of the building when the hand-line was right behind him. I know you’re referring to how much fire he was able to knock down with it, but there are definitely some better learning points on this video than that
@@preposterouspanda1710 Size up. It looked like a good amount of fire but was isolated to that corner and appeared to be exterior only - or minimal intrusion. Note the windows right next to the fire were fine. The smoke coming from the eaves was minimal and not pushing. They may have had info prior to or on arrival that it started exterior (part of size up). If a can was needed afterwards there are plenty of others on the scene. If there was no time to grab another, search with the hoseline. My fellow truckies may not like it, but it's better than getting caught in a bad place.
I love the aggressiveness of these firefighters. Using a water can until the hand line is ready demonstrates how a little water can “arrest” fire growth. I give this team 👍👍👏
I’m not a firefighter but from watching the videos, it seems about 8 - 10 minutes from call to equipment arrival. Often 4 - 5 minutes until water is started on the fire. 50% longer from call. The fire grows exponentially and once water is on fire, growth stopped in 4-5 minutes. The structure often would be saved if water was started immediately. There should be a way to make that happen. It would be a game changer.
@ Foremost: people practicing fire safety. Then, understanding very basic use of fire extinguishers/securing power while firefighters are on the way. Smoke detectors and fire sprinklers are a huge plus. As demonstrated by the use of the water can, even a small quantity of water correctly applied can accomplish much!
@@DerOetzmannPathetic comment. You are just nitpicking. Must be one of those Firefighters from the RUclips Fire Station. He was concentrating on the job and one of his colleagues announced I’m coming through and he stopped.
That’s the mark of a well trained crew. The tiller man operated on his own, grabbing his irons AND a can…went right to the fire and didn’t stop until the engine line was charged and ready…saved some extension and made it an easy knock down. Then he went right to work pushing in, then pulling the ceiling and siding…again, he knew what to do and did it with no prompting. 😳 From what you can see from the cam, he was the most effective guy on the fireground. Like an energizer bunny…really fine work…textbook!👏👌👍
Good question. Fire is an insidious beast…it needs food and air to live just like us. And it hides better than any living thing. So even though a fire may look like it’s out, it’s just hiding until it can find more food and air to live and thrive again. So, firefighters have to tear up walls and ceilings until they come to a spot with no burn marks or twinkling embers. People get upset when after a small fire they return to find walls torn out, ceilings pulled down, siding stripped, etc. It must be done to be sure the beast is actually totally dead, for the safety of the tenant and its neighbors. Hope that makes sense!👍😁
@@CanadaMatt Nah it was under his can. When he put his can down to put his mask on it was under it. You can see it when he turns back to look but it probably blended in with the can due to them both being silver in color.
This was the fastest, smoothest most efficient fire video I’ve ever seen. These guys should have their videos shown at academy’s all across the country. No time wasted just straight attacking the fire and saving the structure. Props!
I wouldn’t go that far, the line was there shortly after he hit it with the can. It didn’t hurt, but personally if I knew a line was already laid I wouldn’t bother, I’d be making entry and doing primaries.
Puttin in work with the old Silver Bullet. Works like a charm while waiting on a hoseline. My first ever interior attack of a fire I ended up accomplishing entirely with nothing but a water can. (Much to the surprise of the senior firefighters on scene.) Zero visibility but turned out to be a bed, dresser, and a bunch of clothes were burning pretty good. I ended up getting it put out before the hose even reached us.
I had my own house fire this year and watching these videos is heartberaking, knowing what the families of these homes will have to go through in the following months. Thank you thank you thank you for doing such a kick ass job!
Tiller man was Johnny-on-the-spot grabbing a tank / Halligan / extinguisher and immediately starting in on the fire / point of ingress. Nice smooth handover to the hose team, too. Takes a short breather and then dives back in to watch for reflash and overhaul. Great job.
1st time I saw a FireFighter use a can to suppress the fire to open the entrance of a resident until a water source was activated . Good job ! Saved the progress into the structure ..again GOOD JOB !
Outstanding hustle by the tillerman! Knockdown with the can, then nozzleman from Wagon right in with the charged line. Quick control, fast opening up the walls and ceilings; over all, a spot-on, coordinated operation. I've come to expect nothing less that outstanding work by Harrisburg, and this just reinforced my confidence! Well done, one & all.
Ladder operator got that fire significantly weakened w/ the water can, made all the difference for the FF on the cross lay, knocked it down in seconds, thats a clean job
As a person who had to watch his house burn to the ground years ago, I really don’t know why I watch these videos. But it makes me glad there are people out there who do this! I can’t really say the same for the ones who were volunteers in the state I lived in at the time though.
There is a station in my town with a Ladder and 2 engines. The Ladder passed me on the return to the station. The street has 2 lanes in each direction. Just as the Ladder passed, it started "crab walking" across the 2 lanes to make a rolling roadblock. Once it stopped, the 2 engines met it from the other direction . They both turn 90 degress, then back into the station, and so does the Ladder. It all took less time than me typing this.
@@DH-vq2xd Fire can either start, or extend into the void spaces in walls and ceiling/floors. Even if you think you have the fire under control, it could still be burning in these void spaces. That is why we will pull the drywall, siding, lathe/plaster, etc. so we can find extension and put it out if necessary. At really big, intense fires, it's not uncommon to have to return to the structure because of a rekindle. A lot times that is from fire extending into void spaces where we may or may not have extinguished. It may look like we're damaging things unnecessarily, but the alternative is your whole house going up in flames after we're gone, so we do a little damage to prevent even more damage.
Man that was a quick time to get that fire out. Saved the home. Crazy to see that everything inside is I believe okay and only outside damage and some inside but yeah luckily everyone is fine
I WAS A FIREFIGHTER FOR A LONG TIME. Good work on this one but when you got a guy standing there on the inside with a line and you are starting initial interior overhaul, if you have pictures on the wall nearby, take them off and put them aside. Save the memories if you can. It is still someone's home.
That was a damn good knock down with just a water can, bought you guys some valuable seconds until the handline got there and charged. Mitigated further extention into the room, quick work getting into overhaul checking for extention. Minimal fire and water damage, more smoke damage than anything.
Great job! Truck had the fire out before the first engine even arrived! Had that been MY city's department, at least half that house would have been in flames before they had even one line on it.

i've always wanted to see what it was like in the back of a ladder truck. mad driving skills. very interesting.
wondered how they do that too 🤣
It’s not that hard these days. You’ve got power steering. Back in the day they didn’t and it was a bitch when you were behind a fast driver.
Awesome response and no excessive water usage. Well done and greetings from Germany

Great job, guys. This shows the importance of simple water cans. These should be on every fire apparatus, rescue truck, tanker, brush truck, etc.

Most of the properties, however grand, are flimsy shitty built wooden structures that burn rapidly.

The real problem isn't wood vs brick, it's all the petroleum based products on the outside and inside of the homes.
