you would be surprised at how many people are not aware until the FD arrives. We rolled up to a fully involved 3 story mcmansion and had several neighbors come out totally unaware. Frankly, I'd rather then leave the cars and not move them, more people moving makes it even worse.

Big question of mine,why wen you see smoke from far and fire why dont you pick up a plug you know you will need water,my department we stop at hydrants insted of pulling hose to the hydrant,guys got to put that in practice.....
I feel most fire departments in California tend to forget that they can wrap a supply around hydrant & drag the line like that. But they end up pulling & running with it instead. Idk man….

@@davidt9809 Ahh no, you don't... The majority of career FD's in the US will have the first Engine go directly to the fire in order to perform the most important function... RESCUES (if applicable). This is paired with size- up which is one of the most important functions of the first in unit. This is then followed by quick attack and breeching as needed. The job of the second Engine is to find & obtain the water supply and lay in to the first Engine, or drop supply line and then proceed to a hydrant. Engines in the US typically carry 500-1000 gallons of water which is usually going to be enough to cover a rescue and/or begin a quick attack while the latter Engine works on supply. If the first in Engine stops at a hydrant you are delaying potential rescue as well as size up, not only that but you are also shorting your crew by one man. Now at volunteer FD's as well as locations where the next Engine is some distance away, they will often grab a hydrant right away because they know there will be a delay regardless. There are also scenarios at career FD's where they will do other types of set ups in order to accommodate nonstandard situations, an example might be a dead end street, long driveways, apartments and commercial properties where access is tight, etc. The second most common type of "typical" approach is what most call the "Detroit lay", this is where the first Engine stops at the fire and does an immediate rescue profile and size up. If no rescue is needed they will drop two attack lines and then lay a 2.5" from a wye to the nearest hydrant. Detroit has lots of narrow tight streets and using this approach allows them room to bring in a Truck and additional Engines, this is a very flexible approach that many FD's at least set up to quickly use if needed.
Thank you for capturing the footage...Firefighters did an awesome job, though the structure was fully involved - they immediately took care of exposures (neighboring homes) and dumped water on the fire right away...I'm ret'd municipal firefighter medic - It only takes a minute to get all the gear and water rolling, but it feels like it takes forever at the incident. I know they drill all the time (practice). Kudos to the BC for running incident command.

Big fire needs big water, big time. Transitional attack: deck gun while 2-1/2 (2) are deployed to the bravo side, while elevated master stream is set up. Once main body of fire is knocked down with deck gun, move in with the two 2-1/2’s while 1-3/4 interior lines are being deployed. Yes, I was a firefighter for a long time.
Nice kid trying to save the Beemer. I think it's a Beemer. I always wonder why people never run out and move their cars to save them. I love mine. What was the shouting going on before the trucks arrived? At first I thought it was someone in the house. WAS? there people inside?
I have always wondered the same thing! Moving it not only saves the vehicle but gets it out of the way of the fire department to give them more room to work!

I was just hoping that they could save the house next door. The one with the fire was gone by the time firemen arrived. Not getting water pressure is not their fault. They did a really good job.
Me neither. I thought all was good then I started seeing & hearing people in background telling fire guys how to do things from afar perspective. To mention probably none of the civilians know about fire stuff. In the beginning video they where kinda getting upset wanting me to help out. Like mate, there’s nothing I can do at that point, pd was already door to door & main house was blown to it last standing supports.
It is known in the business as exposure protection. Any well-educated company officer knows that. As long as you have water (in liquid form) on a surface, the temperature CANNOT go above 100 C / 212 F. Class A materials have an ignition point at least twice that. I hope that helps you understand the concept of exposure protection.
US fire fighters are so slow at getting water on, UK fire fighter would have had water on the fite within 10 seconds of arriving on scene, backed up by main jets within a minute or less. What a waste of having an aerial platform as well, get it up and get water on the roof from above .... useless !
Of course, they wouldn't have been looking at the possibility of people / pets trapped, other dangers, different exposures. Sure, just dumping water on the first thing you see burning sounds cool and effective but reality often intrudes on juvenile fantasies. The structure was gone well before anyone arrived. They might have been able to get water on the other house if they were faster but again they needed to evaluate the entire scene. You don't really care about a structure that is already completely destroyed. You do care about preventing the spread, checking for wounded or trapped people.
These guys need more training. Three minutes on scene before the first drop of water. Coming out of the truck having to put their scba on and 5 guys to pull hose out of the bed. And that’s just the first three minutes on scene. Smh.
Maybe the owners of the the houses need more "training" too. Why was this fire so fast complete burning/"on fire" ?? Did they have smoke detectors ? Did they have so meny things at home what could burn? I think these are 2 reasons did we have here... I am Dutch so excuse me for my bad english.

Always wondering why US firefighters equipment and uniform is so outdated compared to Europe. Like French firefighters have very futuristic trucks and helmets . Stuck to the part or budget problems?
it's not outdated, it's just not the way the French went. Just because the French do it does not mean it is appropriate or effective for other nations. Kind of arrogant to say that the French know more about fighting fire then the US does. Really ARROGANT.
They do. Pulled a 2-1/2, but then went to the pee shooter 1-3/4 for some reason. Big fire needs big water, big time. See my other comments about water delay.
The ammount of armchair fire fighters that shit on the fire department, water in 3 mins? Thats better than trying to juggle a water supply THEN hoses THEN an attack, zip it and shut it. The most reasonable explination for the time it took was to don SCBA as you won't always have it on immediately, uncoil the hoses, get equipment, get the pump going, etc.... the house was already fully involved anyway, so its not a rush to save it anymore, but to get to work saving neighboring structures.
They are just jealous and bitter that they can't do the job. They are stuck in their dull menial and unfulfilling dead end jobs and wishing they could be a Firefighter but know they never will be, so they lash out. Some are so screwed up in the head they actually make up imaginary personas where they believe they are experienced Firefighters, like one guy here on YT who created a channel and claims to have over 30 years on the job, but he has repeatedly outed himself as being a phony by not knowing basic Firefighting skills, conflating & misusing terms, and showing a lack of even a basic understanding of the job. All he does is bash Firefighters and when anyone calls him out on the mistakes he makes, the BS he states, the false assertions, etc... He just blocks them. They have identical traits to those who falsely claim to be Navy SEAL's, pretend to be cops, etc. Very strange and kind of scary.
Nah, 3 minutes is unacceptable though, to get a single handline charged. You charge the line before getting a supply, then work on your supply. I get it, that "shit happens", hoses get tangled, etc but 3 minutes is too long. Under 2 minutes is what every department should strive for. Especially from a professional, career department like these guys are supposed to be. It's called having pride in your job.
@@virgilhilts3924 Ironically, my department does have videos on the RUclips, but I guess it sucks when you don't know where to look. Let me guess, you're either a EuroNerd or some old boomer retiree from California?
a lot was probably going on through their minds. I'm sure the first one was searching for victims & Second was the exposure home that was also catching fire. they for sure seemed a little confused, but I cant really speak since I'm not affiliated in the fire service.
So Cal departments typically say alpha, bravo, charlie, delta to indicate the sides of a structure because the structure may not be oriented perfectly on a north south east west axis...alpha would be the front of the structure and bravo etc. would be in a clockwise rotation....
3 minutes to get water on the fire. That means that the fire was allowed to increase by a factor of 6. Big Fire requires big water, big time fast. Transitional Attack: deck gun, elevated master stream on exposure B (left side). The original house was done by they waste time and water on it while the fire in exposure B is doubling every 30 seconds. All firefighters can learn much from this and do better on the next alarm!
@@virgilhilts3924 Please explain why. It might educate some of us firefighters who do this regularly in such large combustion circumstances (not volunteer either), but large city FD halls. If you cannot explain then it means this is simply a throwaway comment from an armchair-wannabe firefighter who wants to sound like he knows something no one else knows.

What are they doing ?…way to slow…dutch firefighters have water on every fire within 20 seconds of arrival…no waiting around, no walking around…tking their time is so typical of US firefighters.
@@paulachampagne9615 Nope, Euro fire trucks have hose reels which can be pulled from the truck within seconds of arrival, and many fire departments put their BAs on before they get out of the truck.

An ENGINE with 750 gallons of on-board water could have deck gunned this 40 seconds after they stopped. Those guys are clueless, and the officers are worthless.

@@thorvc15 thanks for the info
what's fucked is that this structure was just the bravo exposure...the main structure is gone
The ammount of armchair fire fighters that shit on the fire department, water in 3 mins? Thats better than trying to juggle a water supply THEN hoses THEN an attack, zip it and shut it. The most reasonable explination for the time it took was to don SCBA as you won't always have it on immediately, uncoil the hoses, get equipment, get the pump going, etc.... the house was already fully involved anyway, so its not a rush to save it anymore, but to get to work saving neighboring structures.
They are just jealous and bitter that they can't do the job. They are stuck in their dull menial and unfulfilling dead end jobs and wishing they could be a Firefighter but know they never will be, so they lash out. Some are so screwed up in the head they actually make up imaginary personas where they believe they are experienced Firefighters, like one guy here on YT who created a channel and claims to have over 30 years on the job, but he has repeatedly outed himself as being a phony by not knowing basic Firefighting skills, conflating & misusing terms, and showing a lack of even a basic understanding of the job. All he does is bash Firefighters and when anyone calls him out on the mistakes he makes, the BS he states, the false assertions, etc... He just blocks them. They have identical traits to those who falsely claim to be Navy SEAL's, pretend to be cops, etc. Very strange and kind of scary.
Nah, 3 minutes is unacceptable though, to get a single handline charged. You charge the line before getting a supply, then work on your supply. I get it, that "shit happens", hoses get tangled, etc but 3 minutes is too long. Under 2 minutes is what every department should strive for. Especially from a professional, career department like these guys are supposed to be. It's called having pride in your job.

Bummer now the other house is on fire :(
Explosion ?
Meth cooking get out of hand? I bet the neighbors weren't happy with theoccupants of the explosion house.
Smooth bore bro
Great save
Engine 101 why didn’t you lay a supply line?
guys are really hustling there...................
a lot was probably going on through their minds. I'm sure the first one was searching for victims & Second was the exposure home that was also catching fire. they for sure seemed a little confused, but I cant really speak since I'm not affiliated in the fire service.
NOT!!!!!!
Who's house is this ???
Homeowner
@@hello_its_me. dam, you beat me to it, lol!
Why don't they say North side, West side, ...
So Cal departments typically say alpha, bravo, charlie, delta to indicate the sides of a structure because the structure may not be oriented perfectly on a north south east west axis...alpha would be the front of the structure and bravo etc. would be in a clockwise rotation....
Yesir ! That’s how they do it.
@@choprox01 pretty much how it is done everywhere
Houses are not always oriented perfectly to the compass. Using ABCD is always clear. A front, B left, C back, D right.
@@choprox01 thanks for the response! makes sense.
wow...hard to believe that house has a basement
Same here. Not once did I think that. It looked like a regular home. No second floor or basement.
3 minutes from arrival to water flow. Not bad. good hustle.
3 minutes to get water on the fire. That means that the fire was allowed to increase by a factor of 6. Big Fire requires big water, big time fast. Transitional Attack: deck gun, elevated master stream on exposure B (left side). The original house was done by they waste time and water on it while the fire in exposure B is doubling every 30 seconds. All firefighters can learn much from this and do better on the next alarm!
@@ccc530
You are seriously embarrasing yourself.
@@virgilhilts3924 Please explain why. It might educate some of us firefighters who do this regularly in such large combustion circumstances (not volunteer either), but large city FD halls. If you cannot explain then it means this is simply a throwaway comment from an armchair-wannabe firefighter who wants to sound like he knows something no one else knows. I am curious to see whether your explanation comes close to our training manual. Our Vancouver Fire Rescue Services has over 800 members, so we are not a small volunteer organization.
@@bobvidoni5898
"Please explain why"
-Because everything he asserted is nonsense, not the least of which is the fact that he doesn't even know what a "transitional attack" is. Further, the assertion of the fire "doubling every 30 seconds" is long disproven junk-science from the 1950's. If you were an experienced Firefighter you would already know the 'why'.
3 minutes to charge a single handline is "not bad" to you? Yikes.
What are they doing ?…way to slow…dutch firefighters have water on every fire within 20 seconds of arrival…no waiting around, no walking around…tking their time is so typical of US firefighters.
California for some reason does that. Most of the time they save the fence around the lot.
What an utterly absurd comment.
Calling BULLSHIT !!
@@virgilhilts3924imagine Americans being this clueless
@@paulachampagne9615 Nope, Euro fire trucks have hose reels which can be pulled from the truck within seconds of arrival, and many fire departments put their BAs on before they get out of the truck. It's like some US departments get their deck guns going as soon as they stop, Euro trucks don't always have deck guns, but do have reels.
An ENGINE with 750 gallons of on-board water could have deck gunned this 40 seconds after they stopped. Those guys are clueless, and the officers are worthless.
Says the 🤡 who has never spent even a day as an actual Firefighter.
@@virgilhilts3924 again, why do YOU say that.

JB is a long time self proven phony... He can only dream of the day he might get to sit in an Engine
@@JPF941
I say that because JB has proven time & again that he has never been a Firefighter and knows nothing about Firefighting or fire science.
What a shit show
Specifically how so?
These guys burn this house down, taking forever to put water on the fire, very poor command by the officers, this kind of fire Attack gives firefighters a bad type of response😐
The house was a loss before they even arrived... But thanks for proving you haven't the slightest idea what you are talking about.
The house was gone before the fire department arrived.
By the time they arrived the structure was fully involved. For the owners, doing it this way gives them more money from insurance and less cleanup

whats the problem. 1st in hits it with a deck gun from the tank. 30 sec knockdown. bet they pulled a handline instead. lolololo
Oh look it's yet another YT deck gun doofus 😆😅😂🤣
You guys should just type...
"I know absolutely nothing about firefighting but like to repeat things Ive heard others say because I think it makes me sound cool"
Of course the reality is that you just make yourselves look foolish either way 🤪
@@virgilhilts3924 how so? Given the massive fire load at the arrival, why would YOU not consider a high volume water attack?
@@JPF941
"how so?"
-Because he thinks tank water from a DG would have a meaningful impact on this fire
-Because the FF wannabes all shout that here on YT because they think it makes them sound cool
"Given the massive fire load at the arrival"
-An experienced Firefighter knows the 500 gallons from a DG isn't going to make a meaningful impact on this fire/fuel load
"why would YOU not consider a high volume water attack"
-Cite where I stated or implied such a thing...
