Apartment House Fire - Heavy Fire 2nd Floor+Full Arrest LAFD

[hilljack2yackie]

They should be doing compressions ALL THE WAY through...... you see them taking him to the ambu. and they stop compressions

[hilljack2yackie]

WHERE IS THE CPR?!

[bigphil562]

am i the only one who saw compressions?

[MovementKarl]

@bigphil562

no me too.....



[FmasterJG]

I always wondered, what is that buldge in the LAFD turn out gear?

[SkullakaAce]

That is the same guy that charged in at the beginning of the video.

[GoLAcityFD]

cmon you horrible parents why the hell would you want your kids seeing someone going under cardiac arrest your sick people to be watching

[lcons31]

did u see the fire in the begening it ways awesome when i grow up im going to be a fire fighter high fives to the fire fighter nice work and to the guy who vecordid this video member i fives to the fire fighters and the guy who took this video : )

[VayLoc310]

Check out my uncle Stew Premmer from station 58 lol, still on the job after 30+ years!, that's what it's all about right there!, but what happened to the old man, did the paramedics revive him?

[pennywisesb]

Stew is a legend, especially at 58s. I was a rookie there 5 years ago. Man can he cook some great ribs!

[truck2719]

Did you notice that the old guy (gray shirt/black pants) in the begining of this video was the full arrest?? Very sad, all he was trying to do was help...

[deadpoetic5150]

wow hopefully this video is old but no wonder why LAFD medics are going to loose their intubation practice No o2 is applied no bagging to get his sat up while they tubed wow pretty sad

[brettslawnservice]

hey keep in mind this was like back in the stone age they didny know what we know today about the advances of emergency medicine

[pennywisesb]

Let me guess, you are a paramedic instructor? They obviously got pulses back because they weren't doing compressions when they were loading him.

[LAFDExplorer58]

Hey Toast-

Did and life forces respond to this cause it lookas like it was just Engine co's.

[mugen1220]

probably one of the worst efforts I've seen to bring someone back.

No compressions, no bagging. Everyone is just takin there sweet ass time. Guy in blue casually walks over with monitor. Pathetic. I hope the guy made it. Hope he never sees this video. I actually thought this video was like 10 years old.

[robkb1fjr]

It seems to me that the video is cut to certain scenes which may give the impression of the medics moving slower then they really are. Keep in mind this is at least 10 years old, judging by the clothing and the cars

[nikitobu]

Well the guy was breathing and moving at the time he just crashed right away.

[CDFdavid]

just wondering but did this pt make it seeing as how they werent doing compressions and the medic with the blue sweater shakes his head and he also wasnt bagging him anymore..nice crowd control also on part of the lapd..NOT

[trisdiastatos]

good job on the 2nd house

[philtheplumber1]

fire/e.m.s did a great job. the LAPD must have been too busy writing a ticket for skateboarding, or perhaps beating a traffic offender to worry about crowd controll

[Shanelee33]

That's some old school stuff right there...

[SirGuinness]

Unconventional code save at best but hey...when do you do EVERYTHING by the book?

[rckymtnfire]

Excellent work. Great job with the exposure protection and roof ops! And of course, a full arrest with a save during a major fire. Who cares about proper CPR, that man survived and the fire went out, no one was hurt except the occupants and the dead guy came back to life. AWESOME JOB!!

[samfisher20041]

goddam onlookers around the building manager that collapsed -.-

[fishtingle]

Good video, good department, i will be applying in June after paramedic school

[bhz]

I think that medic is Bob B. He was the guy that suggested I go to medic school back in 1987. He's been around a while if not retired by now. He's one of the best.

[fireguye4]

at 3:37 bad idea. steaming the brothers inside

[michiganfireman]

Full arrest and not a single compression! Impressive. The medics seemed very concerned as well. That's embarassing. It doesn't convey calm cool and collected. It conveys lax, and I don't mean the airport. Hope I don't code in L.A.

[toastt21]

All I know is that the victim survived...so be it a fluke or good technique that was not shown here, something worked out... In the end, THIS is all that matters....

[fishtingle]

i saw compressions, they werent up to ACLS standards by anymeans, but then again the only part filemd while he needed compressions was the part where they were tubeing him,

[brucebakerEMT]

In response to you Michigan... If you noticed... it was a witnessed full arrest and per the new ACLS guidelines, witnessed arrests are immediate defib, if they are able to be defibed... and yes there was CPR in progress, right after the defib attempt and during the intubation... Overall looks like a call well ran!

[canadianboy40]

@michiganfireman Wow, thats pretty embarrasing indeed, remind me not to go into cardiac arrest in LA, kinda makes me want to head over there and go over the mega code scenario with them, and id love to show that idiot how to intubate. Ofcourse, in every cardiac arrest, my first thought would be to do crowd control, i mean the patients already dead right? its not like his heart can stop anymore, not!!! Great job guys, way to do a shittty job and, get caught on camera!!

[mf011405]

@michiganfireman It looks like they had the pads on and there was some compression clip just before the dude at the head got a tube in him....but the assessment does look alittle different probably becasue of the random clips. Its definately not textbook, but if it works, thats sweet

[herbiedrumr369]

@michiganfireman " A Fireman" apparently you just call your self that, because real and seasoned Firefighters do not down and comment negatives on another departments actions . so in your wording i will sey,,,,,,,your comment doesnt show an educated and experienced "firefighter" it shows " jack ass" and i dont mean the one in the field . and for you and the other smartass ...those things being done @ 5:34 are called compressions not exercises, * wouldnt ya not want to code "Anywhere?

[staylor4417]

@michiganfireman at 5:26 the guy on the back right is doing compressions

[LAFD27explorer]

@michiganfireman When you rush you mess things up. You forget things, you drop stuff. You have to keep your cool to keep everything under control. If you really are a fire fighter you would know that. I am a cadet and i know that.

[BimmerGuy87]

Michiganfireman...Thats exactly the problem there.. Your a "firefighter explorer" go get some more experience matter of fact go work on an ambulance...and you will know thats not how a Code should of been ran! Exactly the reason why i like to cancel Fire on my calls because most of them are complete idiots! My patients not on fire ...you can clear!!!

[LAFDExplorer58]

dear toast, i have 1 question for you you must like batt.18 alot..this is the 3rd video from you that has batt.18 and its brave men and women

[nikitobu]

LAfdexplorer58: Why do you guys wear bunker coat on medical calls????

[LAFDExplorer58]

This happened at the samw time as a fire, so all the fire personal on scene should be wearing there full sturcture gear, ot, the paramedics in this case are wearing there brush gear whcich is the minimal requirement for them while on scene of a stucture fire

[nikitobu]

I mean i see them all the time wearing bunker coats on medical calls!

[LAFDExplorer58]

Well, it all depends on how the firefighter feels. I ussualy wear my brush coat on all calls after 9pm (its just something i do) and other firefighters do what they want. It just depends on the firefighter

[LAFDExplorer58]

if you look at 4:43 there is a fire fighter that walk up to the downed man.....he is an enginer at one of the stations i worked at....and he is really kool

[Beardown502]

Also how old is this video it has to be a good 10 years those are the old Survivair bottles and looks to be a single function paramedic with the blue jacket on.

[Beardown502]

That captain on the nozzle!!

[beandog54]

I'm in my backgrounds for lafd...this department is amazing. Fingers crossed and counting the days until i can wear the badge!!

[garycalgary]

the building manager looked dead hope he's alright

i cannot for the life of me understand why it is that people crowd around so emergency workers can't do their jobs. I never get that close when i am watching something of this nature! Sheesh.

[VX2100DV]

Excellent video! I give a 5!

[BoneheadNW]

Toast-

Great video, partticularly showing the exposure protection. I am assuming fire confined to the B/C corner apartments. Any word on the cause?

Bonehead

[toastt21]

If I remember correctly, it was a wee one playing with either matches or a candle in the front room... In addition to the heart attack, a woman and her 2 kids were treated for minor smoke inhalation
