Sometimes the damage is greater after the fire since we have to strip the building just in case of a few missed embers or something that could re-ignite; this will just depend on the area effected.
At 1:08 the dude lost his helmet. No excuse for that. Before he loses it you can see he has the chin strap across the back. Use your equipment properly for it to work right. It is a good view of inside though.
Most noble profession (police as well) in the country by far. I think we should transfer all the salaries of all politicians to you guys and only give them minimum wage, haha. You are waaay more needed a hundred times over!!
You're like the guardian angels of housefires, and I am SURE most of the public would agree with me hands down, no question. YOU'RE THE BEST!!
to the guy who says he would rather use goggles than a shield...i dont know what kind of goggles you have on your helmet but mine fog up after about 30 seconds of use
Actually ventilation is used primarily to PREVENT backdrafts and flashovers. Firefighters die when there is poor coordination between the vent and attack crews, or when ventilation is improperly executed. The use of fans should be severely limited if the fire isn't under control. You'd be an idiot to use positive or negative pressure fan ventilation on a working fire.
@93CFD no offense to you americans but the way you tackle house fires by ventalating the house couses many deaths due to back drafts. In the UK we use fans to ventalate which is much safer
@grimbomufc09 yes they do, but do to the things that they are exposed to on the fire ground they are effected later on in life if not sooner, sometimes its do to the fire itself, but overexertion can cause death as well as just simply breathing in smoke can cause heart failure do to the cyanide gas thats in it and all of the other nasty stuff
@grimbomufc09 well most firefighter die of heart condition's.but on calls my teacher for my b.v.r(basic vehicle rescue).said most firefighters die while on the scene of m.v.a(motor vehicle ascendant)
@stagbaws not all just the ones that go around with their vehicles all stickered up with shit like "first in last out" or smokeeaters rrrrrrr with like a bulldog, half these guys never seen fire
At 1:06 the nozzleman loses his helmet. That is what the chin strap is for. You should never loose your helmet. As the officer I would have chewed his behind for that. Then again the lead officer should make sure all PPE is properly worn before entry. It turns out okay but next time may not be so lucky. It ain't gonna protect you if it don't stay on. Other than that was a cool video.
@BenAranMetroidkiller From the chassis to the paint job, American firetrucks are built for firefighting. What other use would they have? On the engine, nearly all of the pumps are now in the 1500gpm range with many 2000gpm machines working as well. Unlike European brigades, our primary fire attack hoseline is 1 inch and 3/4 in diameter with the average pressure being 75gpm.
@FilmLou hey man what do you mean by the average pressure being 75gpm? Are you meaning you are flowing 75gpm with your 1.3/4? or youre flowing @ 75psi.. and if youre flowing 75psi what kinda of nozzles/preconnects do you guys use? Just curious.. thanks =D
@bigmlt3 I need to correct myself -- I am speaking about having 75 pounds per square inch at the nozzle. The standard attack line in the USA is inch and 3/4 in diameter. Most departments use a combination nozzle (or fog nozzle) but large departments like FDNY and San Francisco, as well as some small departments, use a smooth bore nozzle. Our department uses the Task Force Tips "Mid Matic" which operates at 100 psi (7 bar) which flows up to 200 gallons per minute.
@VeterinKid im just a sellersburg volunteer fd i was nineteen when i joined bcz the station was too far away but i found out a station closer in a another town i joined it was three peices of paper
full time at shively fire department is 32k
hoses depends when full are heavy but doable the gear is like an artic jacket
easy - it just depends on who u are i move 11,000lbs uld at work so moving a 300lbs person is easy the summer heat isnt
@VeterinKid just do it... go to your local college and ask if they have a fire science program.. best job in the world. fu&k the money, you'll have time for a second job. and dont worry about the heat. if you are more fight than flight, you will do just fine.
@FilmLou In Ireland here our first strike hose is 2inch high pressure hosereel... 60m but extendable to 120m if needed... gives 200ltrs per min at 24-26bar at the pump... Branch is a angus hi-combat fire behaviour branch.... (fog/Jet) Main use is fire behaviour etc... Larger scale jobs we make down 70mm + 45mm low pressure hoses. Again with angus high combat branches. 115 - 475 litres per min at 7bar on the pump. Our pump delivers high and low pressure. Interchangable. But not simultaneous.
@BenAranMetroidkiller Now that I've answered you -- I believe you're referring to the chassis and perhaps body. Purpose-built or custom chassis are the norm for large city and suburban departments. In rural areas the firetrucks are often manufactured on a commercial chassis such as an International, Kenworth, Ford or GMC. Those chassis have a variety of other uses.
@BenAranMetroidkiller Depending on the what the unit is used for. Some departments cant affor multiple trucks leaving them with only one or 2 in the hall, so it must be well rounded.
Other departments have trucks made for Fires, HazMat, heave Rescue, ARFF, Auto Extrication, Water Transportation, Gear Transport and utilities (volunteer departments) So our trucks are made for different responses in the service the type of call will determine what apparatus will be dispatched and respond
@BenAranMetroidkiller not quite I mean the trucks are designed for the specific type of call, for example a srtucture fire in the city you would respond a rescue unit (possible rescue) a pumper (water supply from hydrant) and a ladder truck. get what im saying kinda.
@FloCp3 the music is a compilation of three songs from a production library. There are several online and you l.icense the song for use on videos like Inside The Fire.
was that Kinston FD in NC? I live in New Bern and used to run with NBFD, Now I run with Rhems. Did some serious training in Kinston after Hurricane Floyd. We used a lot of destroyed homes as training burns. KFD was serious with those 2" attack lines. NBFD lost several sets of turnout gear in those sessions, seeing who "could take it" more. Chief wouldn't let us go back after he got the bill.
@tugboat1995 That is indeed Kinston, NC Fire Department -- I've filmed at about 150 fire departments nationwide, both large and small, and Kinston by far has the most agressive firefighters in the USA. North Carolina's best kept secret.
What about the fire fighter cutting a ventilation hole on the roof and NOT on his roof ladder? humm? How does he know that the roof is not going to give way while he is cutting? That would be more embarassing than your lid falling off in a fire. Remember to check your partner prior to entering a structure, fire or no fire. Just a little video to sell some popcorn I guess.
@omgdumbthing I'm a firefighter, and I've made arrangements with many local fire departments to shoot video, which they can use for training, recruitment, etc. I also do quite a few ride-alongs, although it seems like when I'm in the station, the crew is certain NOT to have any calls. Also, when I'm shooting, I'm in full turnout and SCBA. But there is the occassional law enforcement officer or fire policeman who keeps me from doing my work.
@AWSOMEBEN It was a $35,000 Betacam -- Today, I would shoot it with a $2000 HD palm held, and it would make a much better picture. Some TV stations are still using Betacam for news gathering.
I've often wondered that myself. I also would have chose to vent from below the pitch. If the flames vented immediately, the chainsaw truckie would have been toast.
Why do these guys bother to have faceshields attached to their helmets? Nobody seemed to have them down. Lost helmets! OMG - my Chief would roast me over a slow fire if I did 1/2 of everything these guys did. How about the roof guy? Not how you are suppose to use the saw.
@algonquinpaddler62 Most of our departments in Texas have them and nobody uses them, but I believe it is required by our state. So when someone from the fire commission is watching, button your jacket and flip down the shield.
The firefighter's helmet falling off could have been prevented if he had buckled the chin strap. Apparently he never attached the chin strap because it was uncomfortable. There was no safety officer on scene as this crew was the first-in engine company. These clips are from a real fire in North Carolina. Lou
@FilmLou have to agree about the chin strap, it is uncomfortable as hell, I am very guilty of not hooking it, on a fire truck or when i ride my bike, but yes, it NEEDS TO BE HOOKED!
@FilmLou Yeah, him not fastening his chin strap could have got him hurt... along with the ass chewing he got. the way I see it... if something is for your safety but you think its uncomfortable, you have got to deal or dont need to be in that profession. I hate the way the gloves feel, but I have got to deal... or lose my position.
@whatfield2232 we suck it up on a lot of shit man, been a month or so, but we had a 3 alarm apt fire, took us about 10 hours to get it under control, balls to the wall firefighting, we finally got dispatched back to the station, got about 2 minutes away then were sent to an mva, mostly sweeping up antifreeze and playing referee until police arrived, I love my job still, never know wtf is gonna happen!
@FilmLou That, or when he put his mask on, he didn't remember to put the hose through the chinstrap before he connected to the regulator. I always wished I'd had a buckle; but I'd never seen them on a firefighting helmet. Of course; this was around 20 years ago in a rural volunteer department.
@FilmLou These are not real fire's! Anyone who's been on the truck for more than 6 months can see they are traning burns. It's not even the same house in each clip. Thanks for supporting the service though!
@ 107 the branch mans helmet falls off...gotta make sure all your PPE is secure and worn correctly.thats one of the reasons theres two BA wearers,check each others gear before making entry guys.
Mile -- the first shot in the sequence is directly from the digital tape -- it was windy the day the crew shot that clip. Nothing was done in post-production to alter the flag.
I know that. I ment to say with out it on. If you watch he jumps out the back cab and goes the the back compartment to put it on. Was it just for looks? At my department, if your not ready to go when you get there dont expect to be leaving the pumper controlls.
Actually I'm not to sure if that's a paid company or Volunteer but I am sure that if this was a working house fire and the cab was full of our firefighters there wouldn't be enough SCBA in the jump seats so the rest would have to grab them off of the side compartments of our engine.
lol Yea couple days ago we caught a car fire and we had about 6 vollies hanging around plus the 4 paid guys, we almost went with over 10 guys in a 5 seated truck to the smallest car fire we ever saw. lol at that point i can see them jumping off and getting SCBA's from the back.
Penciling isn't as good at cooling gases as a fog to prevent flashover. You just have to burst it and use the right pattern and angle. You'll get steam burns just as fast either way if you over do it. Great video.
i am an english male aged 16 can i become a american or canidaian fire fighter at my age if so how do i go in to training and what quilfications do i need ?
Become a Canadian Firefighter!! We tend not to make cheesy videos of us at work. Something to be said about being humble. Try playing AC/DC to a video of a plumber..Looks retarded
mustache goes back to tradition here in early firefighting. The men would wet their mustaches and put the ends in their mouth while going into fire as a way to "breathe". The tradition has lived on among many american firefighters.
well i would be come a british fire fighter but im not clever enough i think and im not fit enough but after i 15 years in the infantry i will move in the royal fire fighters regiment
I shot the The Freeport Tiller clip for a 9/11 documentary dealing with volunteers who responded to the WTC disaster. I know it's not the rig which responded, but it was used as background for the interview with
This same debate always surfaces - Yanks die inside, were stupid, etc., etc. I'm going to explain something that may help you understand...
In America, we use wood as our primary structural components - not masonry. If we do not get inside, we push fire into voids and accelerate growth and combustion. Steaming here does not work well unless the fire is still a room and contents job. Once a fire becomes a structure fire, we typically have to be interior.
I am about the become a volunteer firefighter in Tremont, Maine, there are only about 20 people on the Tremont fire dept.

@FilmLou have to agree about the chin strap, it is uncomfortable as hell, I am very guilty of not hooking it, on a fire truck or when i ride my bike, but yes, it NEEDS TO BE HOOKED!

@FilmLou Yeah, him not fastening his chin strap could have got him hurt... along with the ass chewing he got. the way I see it... if something is for your safety but you think its uncomfortable, you have got to deal or dont need to be in that profession. I hate the way the gloves feel, but I have got to deal... or lose my position.

@whatfield2232 we suck it up on a lot of shit man, been a month or so, but we had a 3 alarm apt fire, took us about 10 hours to get it under control, balls to the wall firefighting, we finally got dispatched back to the station, got about 2 minutes away then were sent to an mva, mostly sweeping up antifreeze and playing referee until police arrived, I love my job still, never know wtf is gonna happen!

@FilmLou That, or when he put his mask on, he didn't remember to put the hose through the chinstrap before he connected to the regulator. I always wished I'd had a buckle; but I'd never seen them on a firefighting helmet. Of course; this was around 20 years ago in a rural volunteer department.

@FilmLou These are not real fire's! Anyone who's been on the truck for more than 6 months can see they are traning burns. It's not even the same house in each clip. Thanks for supporting the service though!

Mile -- the first shot in the sequence is directly from the digital tape -- it was windy the day the crew shot that clip. Nothing was done in post-production to alter the flag.

0:31 whats going on here, he's jumping out of the back with out SCBA already on? Do they not have them in the seats ready for use?
marines13r 2 years ago
yeah they make special seats on engines that have like a little cutt-out for SCBA's to go in
gangbanginfolife09 2 years ago
I know that. I ment to say with out it on. If you watch he jumps out the back cab and goes the the back compartment to put it on. Was it just for looks? At my department, if your not ready to go when you get there dont expect to be leaving the pumper controlls.
marines13r 2 years ago
oh okay sorry for the miss understanding
gangbanginfolife09 2 years ago
In our truck we have seats with cut outs for SCBA's but we also have a compartment with 2 SCBA's ready to go as well if on were to malfunction/spare
lordvader665 2 years ago
Actually I'm not to sure if that's a paid company or Volunteer but I am sure that if this was a working house fire and the cab was full of our firefighters there wouldn't be enough SCBA in the jump seats so the rest would have to grab them off of the side compartments of our engine.

lol Yea couple days ago we caught a car fire and we had about 6 vollies hanging around plus the 4 paid guys, we almost went with over 10 guys in a 5 seated truck to the smallest car fire we ever saw. lol at that point i can see them jumping off and getting SCBA's from the back.

Penciling isn't as good at cooling gases as a fog to prevent flashover. You just have to burst it and use the right pattern and angle. You'll get steam burns just as fast either way if you over do it. Great video.
ptwaugh 2 years ago
I disagree, the fog pattern will flip the atmosphere on top of much faster than a strait stream being penciled.

Be an English Firefighter, we don't knock our helmts off (1.08) and we don't have gay moustaches (1.53)

mustache goes back to tradition here in early firefighting. The men would wet their mustaches and put the ends in their mouth while going into fire as a way to "breathe". The tradition has lived on among many american firefighters.

To our British brothers -
This same debate always surfaces - Yanks die inside, were stupid, etc., etc. I'm going to explain something that may help you understand...
In America, we use wood as our primary structural components - not masonry. If we do not get inside, we push fire into voids and accelerate growth and combustion. Steaming here does not work well unless the fire is still a room and contents job. Once a fire becomes a structure fire, we typically have to be interior.
