Previous Stockton FD videos here and here

Recently we've shared with you raw video from two fires handled by California's Stockton Fire Department. In each, relatively heavy fire conditions rapidly disappeared. The resident fire critics here at STATter911.com, or keyboard incident commanders (KICs) as I affectionately call them, have been near unanimous in their praise of the work by Stockton firefighters and have been using the department quite often as a standard to judge other operations. Stockton, by the way, is a fire department that lost staffing (losing a position on each company) and closed two fire companies due to budget problems.

The video above is from a fire posted to YouTube yesterday that occurred on Easter Sunday of last year. In this case the fire was a bit less cooperative and at about the 4:00 mark there is a transition to defensive operations.
