They did a decent job considering that there were fireworks. The main objective is to maintain safety while putting out the fire. With fireworks involved the firefighters had to move slower so as to minimize risk of injuries or worse. The main thing is that hopefully nobody got hurt.
It was a fire fueled by fireworks in a wood frame home. They can't just wave a magic wand and put the fire out. They had 2-3 lines set up fairly quickly. They would have been justified to go with a defensive approach...but they chose to go with a more aggressive interior attack, putting themselves at risk. It always takes a couple of minutes for them to really get going because they have to establish a steady water supply. They also had to get through the garage doors. The fire spread from the garage to the main part of the home (not uncommon). They managed to get it under control and prevented the home from being totally engulfed. This was actually a pretty good job. Sometimes preventing the fire from taking the entire home or stopping it from spreading to adjacent homes is the best that can be done and is actually a win. That was the case in this situation. The firefighters did their job here. Those fireworks should not have been stored in the garage. They should have been stored in a detached shed in a backyard...and perhaps should not have been in a neighborhood at all. Fireworks facilities (retail shops, production facilities) are zoned to be away from neighborhoods for a reason.
I have an attached and it still makes me nervous. Swore I never would. Car is safe imo. I have one generator and one five-gallon extra can for it. I added hardwired smoke alarms into my main smoke alarms to make me feel better.
Now it makes sense. Saw this article in Firehouse magazine. The linked video said nothing about an earlier fire. Had to do some digging to find this info. Just goes to show there's usually more to a story.
Uh oh. I work for a home owners insurance company. I know my company would void the terms of the home owners insurance (as would most) for having those fireworks in the garage
How about flammable liquids like gasoline, oil, paint products, etc.? Just about every garage in the country has some kind of flammables in their garage.
The fire chief should be fired the fireworks were stable until they lit them off consumer fireworks don’t just ignite if they did the public could not buy them
Years ago, in my younger days, we had some doofus with a fireworks factory in his basement, and he decided he could use a grinder next to boxes of fireworks and it ignited, blowing the shit out of his house, injuring his daughter upstairs, seriously burning himself, and getting in deep shit with the FBI, ATF, Nebraska State Patrol, Dodge County Sheriff, Fremont Police, his wife.. You get it. We were lucky the guys were on another alarm in the area, otherwise, it would've had time to rekindle and really take off. He not only had fireworks in his now half destroyed basement and house, he had them stored in his garage, and a storage shed on the property!
F'd around and found out. Insurance won't pay the claim, and rightfully so. Fireworks in non-professional hands are the epitome of STUPID. What a dumbass.
Should stop quickly and grab the hydrant only takes a minute or two a lot less time hand jacking hose back to the hydrant. I know there is move engines coming but your out of water before they get there
Judging by the placard holder on the trailer I’d assume he’s in the pyrotechnics business. He probably uses the trailer to transport them, and if so he’d have to placard it for explosives while traveling.
Don't hold your breath on the insurance payout. Outside of sparklers, fireworks are illegal in CT. If the amount involved was for personal use the company might still pay but cancel the policy. If investigation finds that the homeowner was involved in selling illegal fireworks though, the homeowner won't see a cent.
Insurance claim, AT VERY BEST, will be delayed for years and years. Most likely it will never pay out a cent. And I'm fine with that. Stupid homeowner, gotta have his boom booms.
Amen brother, and while we're at it don't store gas, or a car or an electric car or paint or solvents or batteries or battery chargers or have electricity in the garage.. just don't go in the garage.. ever.. stay out of the garage. Keep it empty. Problem solved
@@vinniescarpesio vinnie...fireworks....gunpowder...boom boom...not paint or you know...normal stuff that isn't designed for the sole purpose of explosions.
Thought it was going to be a difficult, but good knock with the chief assisting the fist due handline to the garage. Should've had that second line go to the garage as well due to the conditions instead of bringing it to the front door. That garage either needed two 1 3/4 lines, or a a 2 1/2 line to get that under control, especially given that separation wall. Get your seat of the fire controlled FIRST (even if that means just having constant water on it) prior to sending in another crew to the next level ABOVE THE SEAT OF THE FIRE. When are departments going to learn? I hate to be the one that plays Monday-morning quarterback, but there seems to be no control system established for this scene. It seems there was really no IC established. The first chief there looks like he went to work, nothing wrong with that. I commend it. However, did he do it because he had another officer/chief in charge so he could work? I don't think so, because that's where we get freelancing as we see here -- fire/fireworks still burning in the garage with no water on it, creates heavy fire underneath the floor these two FF walk up into on division 1. One guy goes inside ALONE, then we are met with heavy, gray smoke pushing out behind him. Basics of fire chemistry; we see the garage has an oxygen source from the doors being pulled down, so maybe we shouldn't introduce another open door to complete flow path while this fire is still burning? Oxygen introduced to that smoke/fire/heat will create more fire? Is it coming down to the point where these "firefighters" should be tested on basic fire chemistry annually in order to continue riding the rig? It hurts my heart to feel this way, but it may be a sad truth.

Was thinking the same thing. They are going to be in deep trouble. This will get settled in court. NO way is insurance company going to give them a dime. Even if legal, they had a lot in that garage and may use that as an excuse NOT to pay. Just say they were not stored properly.

There was absolutely NO REASON to go interior with fireworks still going off in the garage. They should've brought a 2 1/2" line up, and used it first. I don't know why the officer at 4:48 thought it was a good idea to go interior with no hood on in a garage with fireworks still going off... SMH.
@@sivkovich Depends on the situation. If you KNOW you have a second engine close, they can take care of water supply. That's pretty much a standard SOP around here. The exception is when you know the next engine is going to be delayed, it's a fully involved structure requiring a master stream from the start, or there won't be room for a second engine to lay a line in. But the first in company communicates what's needed when they arrive.
@@johnmf6096 I don't think he did. I think he said "Who is the moron who kept fireworks in the garage? That was so dumb." I think those last 4 words refer to his own question.
The same reason just about every FD wouldn’t, because doing so would needlessly delay first water on the fire. Why would one knowingly delay the application of first water? What do you think the reason is for carrying water on the Engine?
Why is it that firefighters can't have their BA on and ready to go the moment you step off the truck? Not very professional when you see the house burning and a half dozen hosers kneeling in front of the flames putting their gear on.
I hope all are safe and not injured. I am sure the husband is sick about it and will never make that mistake again.. Insurance should pay it because he paid the premiums..
We use 1.5 and 2.5 A 1.5 with a proper high-volume tip will flow more GPM at lower PSI than a 1.75 with a crappy combo nozzle. It is also lighter and easier to move inside a structure.
This video is getting more negativity than warranted. Lots of mistakes and some lessons to learn for sure, but they stopped the fire. It wasn't a start to finish master class on structural fire fighting, but I've certainly seen much worse.
Maybe to put the fire out....Each department operates differently remember. Running a dry line in runs the risk of having an unfortunate event happen and then having no water.
Given the exterior presentation I would guess extension was to the immediate area adjacent to the door. Advancing a charged line can be troublesome but it’s not like this is a 4 story apartment with fire presenting from a top floor.
