Nice video, some good points and some not so good points. I've been a volunteer firefighter for almost 30 years and have seen alot of different tactics. Yes a fog nozzle would be a better attack but you work with what you got. This fire is a perfect example for foam application. Less water damage, the fire was above and personal belongings were not too badly compromised. Foam would be alot efficient for this type of fire. Open up a big enough hole in the ceiling to get attic ladder in place and you could have had the fire out sooner. And as stated by a few others, could have tried salvaging the owners belongings. I know it's tough to think about it when you are in the middle of things, but that's what's nice about helmet camera s , it helps you to review the call and learn about what we can do better on and on things not to do. Again good video and nice save. Be safe.
Salvage covers over the furniture and floors and the homeowner not only thanks you for saving their home but for saving their valuables. I've learned the hard way.....
Great video. Bad news for firefighters to build a roof over a roof. Building inspectors and building codes should have never allowed that, but it was probably done under the radar or before codes were strict.
Thanks! It definitely added some challenges to us on this scene. I'm not sure it was permitted or not for this roof over. I have heard many horror stories from firefighters about unpermitted add ons though and the extreme hazard they present.
Brother, the air outside is free. Mask up at the door when entering and take it off when you exit. If you practice and work at it you can have face piece on, hood up and inside building in 5 seconds. All done with gloves on by the way. And yes. Hooks and hoses is what’s needed. Pull til there is no ceiling. Still mess dam then if they set up the aerial and dumped 5 million gallons on it.
Attic fire = get up in there. Spent 20 years seeing this same thing over and over. Just wearing you and your crews out ,plus adding to the loss. Yall got it done ,but....... well you know . Stay safe brothers/sisters
Once the fire inside the house was extinguished, it would have helped to have that attic ladder to finish the job above us. Thanks for the feedback, stay safe as well.
least a lot of the stuff can be saved got it out before it burned up yes it has smoke and water damage but trinkets and rooms that were closed can be salvaged
great video, appears all went home safe. my question is, if you had fire in the attic/ceiling and it was already pushing out of the roof on arrival, then why wasn't a truck team or a guy or 2 pulling more ceiling? not pointing fingers or anything just an honest question. Here in NY by me, we are taught that if there is fire in the attic and or ceiling you pull as much ceiling as possible to expose any fire do you don't get rekindle. just sharing questions and thoughts. be safe all
Good thoughts on this and yes sir, all went home safe. I completely agree with you and wish we had the resources to have had a team dedicated to pulling ceiling right off the bat. One of the problems we faced was that our Truck on scene only had 2 personnel on it (Driver and Lt). Our Squad (which has 2 firefighters) that is normally attached to the Truck was stuck on an EMS call, so that also threw a wrench in how we would normally like to operate. Once the initial fire attack was complete (and primary search), we shifted our focus to the attic. Pretty much any other arriving units from then on was assigned to pulling ceiling which then rolled into overhaul. Thanks for the feedback! Stay safe as well.

@@mxslick50 How come you didn't offer any points that would prove I'm Not an expert? Do you have trouble expressing yourself in a meaningful way or just a childish way?
@Ken Turner Did you notice you had NOTHING constructive to say regarding firefighting tactics? Just like 99.99999% of the worthless, brain dead commenters.
F.F 116 I just looked up the stream light 180 to see which one that was, and that is not the one in this video at that part. The one in this video is just the basic streamlight I believe, which has worked amazingly for me since I bought it about 3 years ago.
It is extremely sad to see anyone's property get damaged from a fire. We are relieved that no one was harmed though. An unfortunate consequence of using water to extinguish a fire is that it does cause some water damage. It is never our intention to cause this damage. We are called into an already bad situation and try our best to help with respect to the homeowner. We have been in contact with the homeowner and have made ourselves available to help them out in any way possible.
good attack but, the first two thing i saw was the whole roof should have been cut for your fighters vision and ventilation are the most important things keep your staff safe, prevents back drafts and roll overs. also salvaging! did a lot more damage then needed to put the fire out
+Eric lunneborg It was an electrical issue. Something was left on and plugged into an outlet if I recall correctly, which caught a bedroom on fire, then spread into the attic.
Hey Dan - i'd love to get in touch about licensing some of this footage, do you have an email address you could share so i can send you more details? Thanks!
please please please people learn how to wear a hood how its designed to be worn. Why do so many people decide to pull the hood down over the mask making the field of view, which is already limited, smaller??? The mask has rubber seal on it that is designed to have the hood rest on it allowing the full face mask to be utilized for viewing what you're doing.
I would really hate for someone to get hurt bc of something simple like that, but if you've watched any amount of fire videos on here, you'll notice it happens a ton and maybe it's bc of excitement that they don't pay attention but attention to detail is paramount when it comes to your safety gear and entering such a hostile environment
Kyle Lonesky you are right about that. I think it is mostly due to the excitement like you said, especially since fires don't happen as often anymore. Also I think newer firefighters are affected more by these nerves, however after a few rodeos the nerves should calm down and people will take the time to double or even triple check themselves. I have made this mistake once and I was kicking myself for months because I was so annoyed with myself for not taking the extra 2 seconds to fix my hood.
Fire Dan did you guys cut a hole in the roof for vertical ventilation, or did the fire self ventilate? what we do in addition to ventilating the primary fire room, is use a exhaust fan for positive pressure ventilation. really helps clear the smoke. but obviously it could not be used in this incident due to positive airflow spreading the fire further into the attic
dave1135 the roof was already self vented before we went interior. Our department doesn't use the PPV strategy, but I know a lot of firefighters swear by it. Thanks for the feedback!
My FD you had better have a tool in your hand when you got off the truck{hook(s),axe, irons} if the Chief saw you running back to truck to get a tool you (or another FF should already have) the ass chewing commenced!
Raza's Gaming channel flashlights can help a ton in these situations when there is little visibility. Although, even with the flashlights, sometimes we still aren't able to see much at all.
Ok guys! This is how you extinguish an attic fire in a TINY house like this without destroying the owners possessions. You cut a small hole in the ceiling and insert a nozzle open to a wide cone like a sprinkler head. You ONLY apply water until you know you have eliminated the flames. Then you cover or remove the possessions and then you open the ceiling Just enough to make sure the fire is out. There should NEVER be waterfalls coming out the holes!
God bless you guys. You firefighters, you guys are awesome. Thank you for what you do.
ShinGojira 1954 thank you for the comment, it is greatly appreciated.
Fire Dan you're welcome. Stay safe out there.
Thank you

Pulling ceilings like they did is the way to do it when fighting a attic fire. Good job.
Wow, great POV! So Interesting to see how you guys go after it. Thanks for sharing.

That place needed a remodel anyway. All those mirrors and hanging lamps and knickknacks on the walls, It’s a museum of the 60s .

Why is this JB guy commenting on every fire video that has ever been
posted on RUclips?
Because you won't learn anything if I just comment on one. I notice you had no tactics to share this time.
@Ken Turner How come You can't comment on something as simple as when and where to break windows and how to squirt water? Too much for you to handle?

The biggest pain in the ass fire is one that you have to chase
Firedan at 8:50 does she have the new Streamlight 180? If so i was thinking of getting it
F.F 116 I just looked up the stream light 180 to see which one that was, and that is not the one in this video at that part. The one in this video is just the basic streamlight I believe, which has worked amazingly for me since I bought it about 3 years ago.
Jeez. What a mess. What the fire didn't get, is completely flooded. Heartbreaking and devastating.

What was the cause?

Who is the yellow helmet?
I think a probie. I hear a young man or a womans voice.
Yellow helmets in most departments stand for a probationary firefighter
why he is on air outside ??
its mandated by osha
Jonathan George It’s called trying to not get cancer or better know as Yard Breathing
Most departments you are required to have your SCBA fully doned when working near the fire ground
please please please people learn how to wear a hood how its designed to be worn. Why do so many people decide to pull the hood down over the mask making the field of view, which is already limited, smaller??? The mask has rubber seal on it that is designed to have the hood rest on it allowing the full face mask to be utilized for viewing what you're doing.
Kyle Lonesky every bit of visibility is extremely important, I completely agree with you on that.

Lol y don't you take off your regulator when your not in the structure? Conserve your supply?

why do you on your flashlights when its smoking all is you really see is smoke and fire
