*CAUGHT ON CAMERA* Explosion At House Fire | Houston
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 дек 2024
- Around 11:00pm, Houston Fire responded to a reported house fire on Colquitt St. Firefighters arrived to find smoke and fire showing from a two story unoccupied building. Ammo could be heard popping off inside early on as more firefighters started arriving. As firefighters approached to make a fire attack, an explosion occurred near the rear of the residence. Firefighters started to knock down the flames and were still hitting hot spots 45 minutes into the fire.
Houston Fire Arson is on scene for the investigation.

For those who are questioning why the Fire Fighters were so lazy and care-free:
- This was an Arson Fire on an abandoned building. At that point, save resources, let it burn, don't risk anything more than you have to in an abandoned building fire. They're using what they can to suppress it until it burns out so it doesn't affect neighboring buildings.
- According to the description, Ammunition was heard going off within the building. If that's the case, it surely shouldn't be blamed that they weren't going near the building. It's understandable, and this was likely a crime-ridden house.
- It's not like some of them aren't to blame. Some of them are just standing around, looking around and talking for absolutely no reason. *Not all of them are at fault, but some of them could've been doing more.*
Another thing to check is that there's absolutely *no sources provided* on this incident except for a brief description. I've researched and can't find anything on a fire from Colquitt Street in Houston. To note, this fire likely didn't happen recently. This, according to comments and lack of recent documentation, probably happened years back. Times change, people change. It solely depends on training.
TL;DR not all firefighters were at fault, some were doing their jobs. Others were, indeed, just slacking off doing nothing. Credit those who did do their jobs.
Nitn9114. I agree with most of the things you posted. As for the comments of them standing around the firefighters rotate at a fire they were getting water on the fire not everyone can fight the fire at the same time.
I disagree the second their feet hit the ground they should’ve been putting water on that fire. They wasted a lot of time. OK it was an abandoned building it’s still had a chance of spreading by exposure.
To me the water should’ve been on the fire as soon as your boots at the ground and hoses were laid
@@Radionut You obviously have not been on the job so you don’t know what you are talking about. Why don’t you stop by your local fire department and tell them that and show them the video.
It’s called urban renewal!!
@@Radionut You can't put water on a fire if there's no water in you hose. They were ready to go, but for some reason there was a water supply problem.
1:00 is explosion
Yes that’s cool
Nice
Party Popper went off
I came here to read all the keyboard fire fighters comments. Didn't disappoint.
Video starts at 0:00
Thank you bro 🙏🙏 omg thought I would never find it
And ends at 7:28
its quite amazing too see all the “keyboard firefighters” we have.. Many are so quick to judge without knowing the actual situation.
Only thing I’ll judge them on is stuff they can control and that’s pulling their hood over their mask smh
@@shaneward7270 Houston uses different hoods than everyone else. They aren’t sock hoods.
At 1:18 the firefighter comes up and says, “Hey! You got a fire?” There’s a joker in every group.
I think he was asking if a car was in the garage
100% said "Hey, was that a car?"
1:01 Incentive to get your ass in gear fellas.
Or at the very least one to back the fuck up from the area something just blew up in. Never know if there's gonna be more of whatever it was
@@hosedragger-204 I'm surprised you weren't there to arrest them for parking their truck in the street...
@@deletdis6173 I'm a volunteer firefighter not a cop.
@@hosedragger-204 oh ok. Hats off then.
@@hosedragger-204 you should have a thin red flag then
There's no such thing as an abandoned house. Homeless people live in there. Plus the fire didn't start by itself.
That eerie screaming of what sounded to be a female...was she in the building?? You can hear her after the explosion..
I assume/hope she was just outside
it was outside behind the building
Nah. Just the obligatory woman-screaming-for-no-discernible-reason. The usual.
@@magigooter2096 She doesn't usually show up at fires. I guess no police were in the neighborhood for her to scream at.
@@sooocheesy Nah, screaming lady shows up at all emergencies to increase the chaos
Just happy to find out I'm not the only one that calls for water on the two and a half that way
This part of Houston is near the central business district has been gentrified. There is new construction all around the house. You could see that when the camera caught the corner of the building that was to the right of the fire building. This fire must have been awhile back, because this location has two new structures where that house was. I bet neighbors were glad to see that go. Almost as much as the developers were.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m sure the neighbors aided in it by making sure it burnt long before calling and no security camera footage like many others.
@@JR-jv4nx The old housing wasn’t that bad. This is simply extremely desirable part of Houston. Close to downtown. What I hate most is some wonderful Victorian style houses are being down for this hideous “industrial” style.
Probably an aresol can exploding. Didn't hear it vent before going off like a propane bottle would, nor was it very large.
Terrible performance especially if it's a paid department.
And that’s why you put water on the fire instead of standing around looking at it
Bruh u obviously dont know the steps it takes to put out a fire
You have No Idea what you are talking about obviously specially when there is no one inside. It's Called Safety First💯👊😎
@@Vibe4Lyfe ofc he doesn’t, he speaks out of his ass like everyone else yet won’t sign up or show us how it’s done, since they know everything.
It's called a "let it burn" policy. It's a run down uninhabited structure. They let it burn down and simply protect the nearest inhabited structures and utility lines. Since this has burned down, two new homes were built and moved in to. They know what they are doing, unlike you.
FUCKING KEYBOARD COMMANDER....
Risk a little to save a little. Risk a lot to save a lot.
GET HIM SOME WATER ON THAT 2 & A HALF
WTF, take your time have some coffee, relax.
I thought I knew all the hazards that FFs face. Flashovers, ceiling collapses, smoke inhalation, burns/scalding, wall collapses, explosions from propane/oxygen tanks, etc. but now I have to add one more: exploding ammo! Strange enough in a normal house but in an abandoned building it is terrifying. Anyone, including children, exploring an empty building, (and we all know how irresistible that is) could have come on that ammo or whatever caused the explosion. Thank goodness no one was hurt and it all ended well but a scary day for some FFs for sure.
I'm not a keyboard firefighter I am a firefighter why are there 6/8 firefighters standing around waiting for water, you get off your appliance with a charged line and if it's not charged you go back and ensure there is a supply from a hydrant to the pump, it might be called in as unoccupied but there could still be people inside, treat it as a persons reported and get on with the job.
Could have had pump issues, who knows, we weren’t there. Houston is known for being extremely aggressive and good at their job. My guess is there was some kind of water issue.
...They often do that in Detroit - the "Let it Burn" policy... If it's not a threat to anything inhabited around it, why risk lives and damage to equipment knocking it down? Take your time... Besides, it's cheaper for the city to cart away burned out debris and rubble than to demolish a vacant structure... In Detroit however, there are so many neighborhoods of nothing but vacant derelicts, that an arsonist could touch off a whole city block, and it STILL wouldn't threaten anything inhabited!
sorry I have a probie question, does a primary search occur first to determine its vacant and then they let it burn or do they go off dispatch?
“Vacated” and “vacant” are often actually inhabited.
@@SubNormalPig Depends on your department SOPs, a lot of the more old fashioned departments still always do a primary and secondary search on every structure before assuming its unoccupied. A lot of the more progressive departments nowadays assume structures where the homeowners confirm everyone is outside or where there's no cars as unoccupied
@@engine2truck6 right on E 2 & L6. bout time someone knows what he's talking about. why don't all you armchair expert's sitting in your basements being critics go on you tube and look up " Harlem job " 1988. vacant building, right ? . you'll see a square by the entrance. the square has one line through it. that means building has had fires. if it has a x through it . that means do not enter. to dangerous. as you can see, the building has an x on it and 50 firefighters are all over it. cant tell you how many homeless, junkies etc. we find in these type of buildings. in case you guys forgot. its LIFE then property.
I missed my calling. I should have been a Firefighter. They are the true heroes
Indeed they are they do it for a reason
Yep true heroes standing around as a girl screams after the explosion
How old are you? I am thinking of becoming one.
No, you didn't firefighters are at high risk for getting cancer due to exposure to hundreds of different chemicals in the form of gases, vapors, and particulates.
Heroes? For spraying water, huh.
10 to 12 firefighters walk back and forth there. 1 hose is laid for extinguishing after 2 minutes and maybe even longer nothing happens. then an explosion . then they begin to take action. In europoa (Germany, the Netherlands) the Fire Brigade comes and immediately starts extinguishing with the water they have in the fire truck.Which means that a lot of minutes are saved. In America, they first start by laying out hoses, organizing how things are going to go on, and then they actually start putting out the fire.The houses are in most cases made of wood. So that burns much faster. So as a fire brigade, you have to act much faster. I think the U.S. Fire Department is concerned that if there's a fire, they wait so long that it doesn't take longer than it needs to.
Here we go with the RUclips warriors.

@@Rocketleaguedude101 All he's doing is writing a comment related to the video, I see nothing wrong with that
@@nossta5242 he's probably a passionate patriot who thinks general feedbacks/criticisms = anti-America lol
37 seconds in and a firefighter already made the camera jump😂
"Fire Attack" lol.
These guys literally just strolling around shooting the shit as they let this house burn down.
Maybe use some of that water you keep stored in your fire engines next time instead of standing around and cheering as shit explodes, eh there gents?
Maybe learn how to actually fight fire before you comment on things you know nothing about.
@@ffjsb You’re right, I’m not a firefighter, but I’d say fucking water is pretty high up there on the priority list when your stated goal is controlling or putting out a house fire.
Maybe in a more residential area or office building but if there is no one in the house and no concern of it spreading … the fire is “controlled” and they let it burn . As you stated your not a firefighter but my son’s fire IS & as the white man stated in the interview, it was a unoccupied home … who gives a damn if it burns all the way to the ground lol
@@CurtDegree They're NOT just strolling around...
Ah...here it is. "Keyboard firefighter" at its absolute worst. Way to go @CurtDegree. You win the prize for this video's most ignorant and stupid jerk.
Yikes! Good catch! But that could have been really bad.
looks like the transformer exploded on the Charlie/Delta corner...wooohooooohooooo! love the reaction and my man yelling at the chauffeur to get water on the 2.5"
4:40....looks like the actor Ed Helms from Vacation lol.
Are they trying to save water ?
*PROJECT X IN REAL LIFE*
this is why detroit let so many just burn.
The same thing in Flint MI. They let old drug and arson houses burn. One less building to torch or possibly get injured at next time.
So no one else thinks it’s odd that these properties in third ward and east end that have sat empty forever (15+ yrs) suddenly catch fire when a nice house goes up next door? They don’t have no running electricity or gas and it’s not winter so it’s not homeless people living inside but they catch fire at 3 am . Fire investigators are in on it for sure.
It’s not but HFD kicks ass and gets it done!
And your academy graduation was when?🙄
Don’t forget your marshmallows boys!!!!😣
Anytime you're ready heroes
Hey dude yelling at the cameraman! How about you worry there is no water flowing on the fire. Fire is spreading pretty fast there.
Lol yea what was that about
He wasn’t yelling at the cameraman, he was telling the EO to charge the 2 1/2
Wooo hooo I miss fighting fire. Good job my Brothers. Stay safe, see you on the other side
Has to be old footage. This is the older dispatch voice
With Ammo "popping off" they should evacuate the area or take cover. Such a non-nonchalant disregard for Ammo "popping off" could result in the death or injury of anyone on scene.
Abandoned house that's been intentionally set on fire. If I had to guess, I'd say this fire dept. has been to this same house 2 or 3 other times when it was set on fire. Today they happen to be employing a tactic that I believe was started in Detroit called LIB or "let it burn". These abandoned homes cannot be brought back up to code are incredibly dangerous and the city is letting the fire do its job and the firefighters are protecting exposures (buildings next to the fire ground). A lot of comments are slamming these firefighters but the reality is the commenters are the ignorant ones-not HFD
All I saw was grown men playing with their hoses......and in public too !
You're neither a grown man, nor do you have any length of hose...
They had Water supply issues.
What is the firefighter screaming at the beginning ???
It seemed directed at the camera??
Did that fire fighter yell at you it is hard to hear
ammo stash house ????
Ammo sounds way different
One of my pet hates as a trainer was the guys and gals that had their flash-hood down so low that it restricted their vision
Reed hoods are the best hoods ever made. Nobody calls them flash hood.
i just noticed that lmao it’s like all of them
It’s crazy I know I would barely be able to see
those are the reed hoods, no matter how you don them theyre always gonna be down over your forehead like that, it looks like its over your eyes but it really isnt you can see just fine
Never heard the term flash hood...that is hilariously funny hearing hoods called flash hood :)
Once again, they seem reluctant to actually put water on the blaze!! 🤔
explosion at 0:59
Don't worry the house was in foreclosure and bank paying the insurance. Bank probably even paid someone to set the fire. Bank will have new house built to sell from insurance settlement. See this all the time in New York
People have no idea how firefighters work and assess dangerous situations. Lots of stupid comments here, since you all know so much how about you put it out yourself?
OK theybhave eyes they see what they are saying. No urgency to put the fire out. I see alot things they could have done differently . Was a volunteer firefighter. So yeah.
😂
Needs to be quicker with the water
Meth house. Hhahahahahah...Houston, Dem run city, just a normal day.
Texas has the best boom boom fires,
What is the delay with water. Seems like a lot of firemen just watching
Hydrants could have been shut down on that block. There is a lot of construction going on in that area.
Put out the fire ! Luser . You're just lurking .
I miss them days 25 years
This is the one with propane tank
Use water sparingly.
This is not a flattering video of a Dept. It’s like they were waiting for a surround and drown situation.
This is not a recent video
When tf was this
*at **1:11** yahoo ogho haha😂 save all u!!*
How sad!!
Surprised the fireman didn't make hamburgers and hotdogs before fighting the fire
Awful lot of hose and no water. Why is everyone walking around cone-faced? So we can load up on IOD?
Slow volunteers likely to short staff.
seems to be no urgency at all. really?!!
Again water to late you need to get water on the fire.
How can they see?! 😂 hoods covering their eyes
10 years ago HFD had water on the fire in the first minute!!!!!
My guess is there were pump issues. We know how messed up HFDs apparatus are.
I think that this fire happened some time ago, I remember seeing a fire like this.
The shady pines fire department look like they got a little more spring in their step after it took them two weeks to put out the previous fire 🙄
A lot of people doing nothing
Are they really saying woo hoo
ALL CITYS SHOULD GIVE NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNERS OF JUNK LIKE THIS TEAR IT DOWN 90 DAY OR THE CITY WILL DO IT N LEAN THE PROPERTY THIS WILL EHANCE THE AREA N CUT DOWN ON HOMELESS DRUG ABUSE
If your hood covers your whole mask I cannot take you seriously
took a long time to put water on it....lazy or what?? I can see where you want it to burn down then not to burn again..
ill bet it was a meth lab
Most of yall have never even put out a big fire let alone donned gear, if you dont like people telling you how to do your job then dont tell others how to do theirs because in both cases you have no idea in depth how it works your just going off what u see. Thats like watching a boxing match on tv and picking apart what you woulda done different like bro ur corny
Fires do not start on their own. Someone was there, therefore, it's possible someone is still there. The Fire Department isn't there to take some bystander's word that it's empty. And just because occupants might be drug users, it's also not their place to determine if they are worth saving. What IS their job however is to determine what is searchable and search it. Put the wet stuff on the hot stuff. The only thing that should be allowed to burn is a controlled burn - one that's been cleared immediately prior to light off. Nobody there has a helmet that says "City Planner." They say "Firefighter." Be a firefighter. Save lives, save property, and protect the environment. I saw a lot of everything except those primary missions.
👏🇴🇲❤️👨🚒fire
Damn they're just standing around playing with themselves. Just because the house is vacant doesn't mean nobody owns it. Put water on the fire. protect exposure.
And that lady screaming just made it more frightening than what it was. Did they ever figure out what caused the to blow up?
my guess is a meth lab
It's always bitches screaming but yet they are "strong independent women"
Montrose
Ice lab?
Another flop on the table, slow water moving, took too long for crews to battle the fire. Get more training!
Houston has plenty of training and experience. They are known for being extremely aggressive. My guess is there was some kind of water/pump issues.
Why was the Fire Department called?
They could have just as easily 'Walked in Circles' from the convenience
of their Fire Station and wouldn't have had to even 'Suit Up' !
AND,
they could have watched the fire on the 'ONSCENE TV' Newscast just
like you and me !
And....
as a Bonus.....
They would have also saved money on Diesel Fuel !
The fire department was called to put the fire out :)
@@usernameredacted439 No shit really?
Would have been a cheaper clean up if they were not called. I’m sure whoever owns the property was glad it burned. That’s a free clean up so they can build something new . Collect insurance on the old !!! Money in the bank!! In the fire service this type of house burning is called urban renewal!!
mirip Mikael duhan pilot black hawk
Gas fed?
Looks like the firefighters are more worried about the guy filming then putting out the fire
That firefighter that yelled in the beginning made a real jerk of himself. Great video!!
he probably wasnt trying to be mean, the EO was likely farther away and he had to raise his voice to ensure the EO heard him
Ooh.. Danger hot.😮😬😯😎👍💥🔥🔥🔥.
Most common injuries are walking the fire ground with masks on... You're not going in take them off..
Show me the statistics that say that.
Firefighters
How were they able to ensure the building was unoccupied? Second our primary purpose is to protect life and property, simply letting it burn because it’s abandoned doesn’t cut it. An exterior attack is fine and in most incidents is the prudent way to go, however we still need to make that attack quickly. The incident commander, sector command and company officers need to be organized. Lines need to be stretched and put in operation efficiently. If squatters were to suddenly be at the windows or coming out of the door those lines become essential to life. No matter what the call or type of structure a sense of urgency needs to be established.
1min 30 before water on FIRE !!HELLOW!!
This is pretty bad to have guys just standing around not even putting water on the fire. In the beginning there's time to put up ladders and get a quick search of the front upper floor rooms. Though it's abandoned there are squatters out there. You can't just say it's abandoned and we are just going to let it burn. Radiant heat and fire can cause extention to other properties as well.
That whole block is basically abandoned.
This fire shouldn't have gotten that bad. First unit on scene should've pulled their 13/4 line did a interior attack. Next unit lay a supply line. Rescue do a first search. Truck pull any utilities. Second Engine lay a second line do a second interior attack. The blast and fire on the second level should've never got to that point point I'd they had done these things.
Alright super hero
Actually, that’s a textbook plan.
Although, I’m thinking that this department had already pre planned this structure and the building was designated as an “exterior attack only”.
You see this offer on truss construction structures and vacants where holes are known to be cut in the floor and other life hazards are known to exist.
@@ronthemogul That's your criticism of the comment? It seemed to be reasonable and logical to me.
Not every structure fire gets a bog standard by the book exact fire attack
What department do you work for, firegal?
WHERES THE WATER!!! NO CHARGED LINE??? WTF!!!

So true they do it all the time
They’re a different style of hood. You can see just fine.
