Just passing by.
Houses can be replaced humans can't. If not for volunteers a hell of a lot of houses would be destroyed and lives lost. Thank you for your service.
I hate this saying, because there is a giant asterisk next to it. Houses can be replaced, but only if you have the money to do so. For 99% of cases, housefires can be permanently devastating to people who never get a home back.
Rural fire departments must have it tough. Long response time gives the fire a good start. Then they have to deal with a lack of hydrants, questionable water supply, second due units arriving late and questionable manpower availability. I’m glad I didn’t have to deal with all that. Good job working with what you have.
The fire station is about a 1/2 mile from the fire. It's a full time operation serving 3 small communities and the surrounding area. The dep't receives great support from the community because they have earned it. I would put these guys and gals up against any department in the country!!
Основополагающее значение имеет время отклика!
@ТэдКэлфелл время реагирования влияет только на распространение огня на другие строения. Загоревшийся дом практически не спасти, тем более , учитывая стиль работы американских пожарных.
@@Игорь-с1ф7е the area is very rural and our mutual aid units had to travel 33 miles to get to the fireground. They got there in good time considering the distance. They are a hard working and dedicated crew and they did the best they could given the challenges they faced in fighting the fire. There was no loss of life and that was a good thing.
@JackNemetz. For an intersting comparison, watch some Russian firefighting videos. Outside of a few major cities Russia is to all intents and purposes a third-world country, ruled by a warmongering criminal and his henchmen to boot. Outside those same few major cities, Russian fire departments are under-resourced, under-staffed, and poorly equipped. Response times are often very long, roads are terrible, there are usually no hydrants whatsoever, nor have they any tankers. Two engines and the water they carry may initially be all they have to deal with a fire like the one in this video, and reinforcements, if at all available, can be a very long time coming. They compensate best they can by fighting fires very aggresively, and do surprisingly well given the circumstances. For a good example, do a YT seach for: Каркасник горит и весь долбит током!
It looks like that cop may be either a volunteer firefighter, or a former firefighter.
He certainly seemed to know his way around the fire truck.
Some officers in small towns are also firefighters.
I feel a little odd about giving a thumbs up when someone’s home is being destroyed but the 👍is for the VOLUNTEER firefighters. ❤ I hope the person/people and pets are okay.
I would say that the VOLUNTEER fire department and the adjoining VOLUNTEER fire district did an outstanding job based on the limited equipment and water they have to fight the fire with.
I live in rural america but i am not far from the fire department. We still have a water issue here so we built a 5 acre pond and installed a water pump system to use pond water in the event of an emergency. The water system works off 2 diesel powered water pump systems. The pressure is so insane that you could literally split a house in half when its turned up. I do not recommend anyone do this alone as the hose can get away from you resulting in a very dangerous situation. I only setup this solution to protect my home and shops by helping the fire department have a reliable watersource
If you live in a rural community just because you are close to a fire department doesn’t mean they will get to your house quickly. Since that department might be volunteer only, and unstaffed 24/7.
That’s awesome you built a huge pond though!
for a small dept good team work glad to see the cops helping out that's what it is all about
Been thinking of getting a metal roof when time comes, but after watching this, not so sure I want to.
Very good and quick with water. What makes it so nice to see is that the firefighters here use their breathing apparatus! This is unlike the so-called "tuff guys" from the big cities. Big praise to these firefighters here who care about their health!
Ahh the arm chair chiefs! outguessing every fire department without knowing the size of said department, distance from fire, staffing, availability of mutual aid and other factors. And I know someone will ask "what do you know?" Twenty five years as a volunteer firefighter/EMT. Line officer, and instructor.
You sure don't have the ability to THINK and make educated assumptions.
@@JB91710 LOL! JB Pot, meet Mr. Kettle.
I served as a volunteer in a large rural FD in eastern WA. It was undoubtedly one of the most challenging things I ever did, but it was also the funnest thing I ever did. I would wager every firefighter in this video knew his fellow firefighters had his back. Only in law enforcement and combat is the comraderie as intense as in the fire service.
A few pondering thoughts.
1. that's a rural hydrant, likely 500 gpm on a good day, not much water
2. That 3rd in is a tanker/pumper. 1,500-2,000 gallons. Would like to have seen a 3inch line feed engine #1. a 3inch can feed a 2.5 and 2 1.75 inch hoses at the same time.
3. It took 6 minutes to get additional water to the first engine. a 1,000 tank can be dry in that amount of time.
4. Volunteers are awesome.
5. That fire is too deep into the house to empty your tank with a deck gun. You'll knock it back, but then what? You have limited water and exposures. The house is a total loss, protection of exposures matters.
heck of a lot faster firefighters then a lot of the big city departments I've seen. Great work.
Solid work with the limited resources available. That first hose line looked like it was just one guy, so I'm guessing just him and the engineer on that truck? He held the growth down until additional help got there. Saw around the 7 minute mark they had some kind of supply from that hydrant off in the background. Hats off to the rural fire departments who get it done in the challenging conditions they face.
Up here in south Snohomish County, there's enough resources so that they can get something like 4 trucks, a command element and an aid car to every fire comparable to this one, in only a few minutes. The water district has solid supply as well - my closest hydrant is in front of the next door neighbors place. Place about 100 yards from me lit up about 12 years ago and there was that kind of response on scene quickly, within a few minutes, with more coming in later to help with the overhaul. The volunteer ladies with the canteen truck were even there at some point to ensure coffee and snacks to the crews on their rest period before cycling back in. Again, hats off to the rural departments who have a tougher time.
Good coverage.
Its Raymond Washington state 1233 Hwy 6.
Good work given the rural area..... the volunteers appeared to be well trained and organized. Not like my experience when we'd have a full alarm on scene in under five minutes...
they need water tankers
What are you talking about?
The second engine in tapped a hydrant and the third unit was a tanker.
A fire burning that hot...limited water supply. Those neighbors standing there gawking, when they should be gathering important papers, pets, family & vehicles. Lady with camera good grief,, absolutely clueless ppl...smh
Well done Fire Dept managing with water supply issues 👏😊
None of the gawkers thought to set up a canteen for the hungry/thirsty fire fighters? I guess they think they are robots who don’t need sustenance during a strenuous event? I guess I’m unusual to think that way as I’m a dirty hands guy?
It takes 30-40 seconds to get tank water on Visible Burning Material.
Very impressive policeman assisting!!
My friend live near to this place . Houses are cheaper in this area than anywhere else. No jobs so they better be. Carl a local contracter told me it rains so much its like its never going stop in Raymond
I like the fact thar these guys are running with reason.
Did you film this from a mile away?
Nope
The smoke kind of looks like a tornado........
This is what happens when there are no water supply.
What are you talking about? They tapped the hydrant just a couple hundred feet away.
they have watertanks in there engines but they never use them they fail as a fire department.
@@DEAD-g8j Better watch again. And pay attention. First truck on scene.
@@DEAD-g8j There were five+ Fire Engines there when my battery ran out. Two of them were shuttling to the pumper with refills from a hydrant to the north about a half mile behind me.
@@Sirby1300 this is what happens when you don't have adequate battery provision. 😉
Note: Sarcasm parodying the other commenter who complained that the firefighters didn't use their tank water.
Google street view suggests a massively rebuilt property (possibly raised above a new basement?) with a hoarding condition, so lots of fuel. The deck on the far side from where you were filming looks, shall we say, somewhat flimsy. The historical streetview images suggest that any fire that started on the deck or in the yard would have been up in the attic in seconds rather than minutes.
Steel roofing is a real problem, Can’t get the wet stuff on the Hot stuff.
So much time spent running around, dressing, talking, just a horrible job by this fire department! Probably can't get fire insurance for the homes in this area! Just awful!
I love those old school Federal lightbars
They are all Code 3 XL's, not Federal Signal
lol.....never seen a cop driving a firetruck and rolling out hoses
Why did the 2nd due drive by the 1st due and then not lay back to the 1st due which had a line on the fire already.
state? no injuries? do they have a cause yet, man I cant imagine losing my home in a fire. man that is some crazy stuff.
Wshington...sorry
The 2nd engine did NOT supply the 1st. Wonder why.
i can tell you why but i am not going to
@@DEAD-g8jWill you tell me please
Is this Raymond Maine
Is this Raymond NY?
nope not raymond ny
they dont have their own police
State of Washington, sorry. I added that to the title now.
I guess they don't use deck guns in WA?
As a retired firefighter, I have to wonder why the second rig stopped at the primary rig and then drove off to the hydrant at the corner, turned around, took the hydrant and laid a supply line back to the fire. once they arrived at the fire they Never supplied the first in rig with water. all that time and energy wasted. A pro dept would have had the second rig drop off equipment and manpower and then lay a supply line away from the primary to the hydrant and would have pumped a higher pressure back. Making sure no interruption of water. Sorry volunteers your heart may in the right place but your dedication to training is very poor. The burned down house proves it. It is a lot more than just calling yourselves firefighters and trying to look cool. Shame on you. I don't like saying this, it's a black eye to all firefighters.
You have to realize that there are no fire hydrants in the area. Everyone are on a well in the area. The nearest hydrant could be 5 to 10+ miles down the road. Many of the additional trucks that can are from adjoining fire district manned by volunteers.
@@richardschmidt6619 thank you.
Raymond where ? Maine ?
State of Washington, sorry
This is a full time fire department located in a small logging town called Raymond, WA. The department has great support from the small communities the department serves. They receive the support because they have earned it. I would put this department up against anybody, anywhere!
At least they got newer trucks- when I worked there they could barely pass inspection.
Where’s all the firefighters on the 1st engine. That’s from a paid department about a mile away. Some volunteers probably helped but the paid guy came from a 24/7 department.
Most departments don’t usually blow fire back into the house. The go inside a push it out. Sad response from a paid department
Some were working it from behind the house
@@Jim-sh1zs have a look on Google street view, including the historical images. You will see why an interior attack would have been incredibly difficult, dangerous and probably foolhardy.
Total loss
Parked to close
Where is Raymond?
Its in graysharbor washington! Hooe every one got out ok! And that house is toast!
I don’t know where Raymond is, but I do know that everybody loves him!
Pacific County Washington State...sorry
@Sirby1300 was yhat on hwy 6! Isnt raymond in grays harbor or is it in pacific?
@@seanpierce7673 Yes, on Hwy 6 just south of US 101 in Raymond, Pacific County, WA
. DECKGUN DECK GUN DECK GUN. im in a very rural area of PA. We have established several guidelines for big water, and this fire on arrival would have caught atleast half the tank @160psi. Depending on how far out the next 1000gal is, it might have got our full 1k. Complete reset.
I can empty a 1000 gal truck with the deck gun in about 90 seconds, then what? sitting their with no water. the family freaking out at you. because you stop flowing water.. Not like that has ever happen to me.. It seems it took a little longer than I would wanted to set up a water source. I wasn't there so who knows why. Any how, we are also a rural town dept. , once our tones drops for a possible structure fire , several other dept. are dispatched for their tankers at the same time. We have between two stations 7.5 thousand gallons with engines and tankers with another 9,000 gal on the road as well from other towns.
@janetclark3557 90seconds, that visible fire and everything deep in to the interior would be squashed in 30seconds. It all depnds on location of our in coming equipment. On the operation. Regardless that fire would have got minimum of 500, in our first due twp 2500gal attack tanker would be first out the door.
@shanestamball1886
Do you know how professional firefighters spot the phonies?
We look for the ones shouting _"deck gun"_
@@shanestamball1886
You are seriously making yourself look foolish
@Dropping-Phos-Chek tell me more expert!
Definitely volunteers
The foundation savers on scene.
How they think to put a fire out like that with only one hose in operation where did this guys get there training this worst performance i have ever seen by the time the figure out what to do the house burned to the ground.
Your camera use is not very good.
Hah hahaha...yeah, I left my Bogen tripod home with my Canon DSLR . All I had was a cell phone.
why don't you a tanker? how close is nearist mutual aid department ? on the east side of the state I we're dry but I pretty sure every fire district has at least one tanker . As of many years late Western Washington has been getting it's share of wildland natural cover fires . may this dept should ask voters for some money to purchase a tanker. comment by Kenneth Boren...........
What are you talking about?
The second engine in tapped a hydrant and the third unit was a tanker.
@@Dropping-Phos-Chek Yup! they actually had at least three tankers running shuttle to a hydrant a mile or so north. I ran out of battery on my phone just before a mutual aid truck rolled in a time or two supplying the no.1 pumper.
Raymond Minnesota?
Washington State. Sorry, this is my first post of this nature. I added the location above in the title. Thanks for noticing.
