Strong work fellas! Obviously limited resources. Great to see a couple guys stretch a line and go get it. Thanks Dave, finally some guys going inside and putting a fire out for a change. Been alot of standing outside lately!
Good job over all. Little slow stretching and charging the 1st line (right at 4 minutes, should be 30 seconds or less) other than that good job. Went in and got it.. Looks like a rural dept. so limited firefighters but looks better than a lot of firefighters and a lot of people standing around….. . Strike the Box! K
Very good job
Those guys are lunatics! They must have a death wish, fighting that fire from the inside and all! How unsafe! LOL ; )
Scooter, time correction 2mins +- with the driver pulling the line, packing up and maybe setting the pump. timeline not too bad.
Let's not forget he did a great job of recording the action as well.
@Crowbar, You have a good point there! Seems like our engineer boy did a great job and got a lot done before his crew ever arrived! Way to go, man! Keep up the good videos!
Don't forget the great job on the siren too!
Great job!! considering what you had to work with. and good job with recording.
Other than maybe a 360 and at least one guy going in with a tool, looked good for what they had.
Maybe a 360 was done and maybe one of them did have a tool.
I did sorely miss the yardbreathing, safety vested, 35 guys standing around watching a house burn to the ground though.
PS No excuses about being low on manpower or water supply issues here, either. Interesting…..
Driver/engineer calm on the radio.
Took time to aim camera.
Scene lighting, hose, PPE.
Chaos free, and the wet stuff got on the red stuff.
water issue inside was due to not opening/testing line prior to entering house..
