On the communications part most depts use a command frequency and a tactical frequency that is two frequencies going at the same time. Great job by everyone nice to have a calm BC delegating assignments makes the incident run smoother
As a veteran of over 10 years as a battalion chief, i see this incident as a classic example of the first 5 minutes determining the outcome. GREAT JOB!!. With regards to the question about the IC and the air time: Really? You have demonstrated your lack of experience and command presence. From City of Miami
@ffsimmy "All in" means that the entire company is going inside the structure. You heard T106 go all in for rescue. A lot of times truck companies will split into a two and two, which is two members in and two members out. "All out" means that all members will be outside the structure. So, the three options they have are all out, all in or split
Yes, the little boy miraculously survived! Jeremy and his family were my next door neighbors at the time of the fire...definitely a hard video to watch. Sac Metro...my heroes!!!
Being from New England I don't understand what's up with all the radio traffic. I like the whole calm, collected voice on the radio, but dude, how on earth are interior companies supposed to voice their traffic if you're owning all the radio air time? I.e. "Truck 1 to Command, we're coming out with a victim." Heaven forbid a MAYDAY. Granted, I've heard IC's screaming on the radio, and making full use of the CHAOS acronym, but SOPs assured assignments, in spite of CHAOS.
@shinnfire Not trying to armchair quarterback, I'm trying to genuinely understand why the IC absolutely NEEDS all that air time when other responding companies could've used that valuable air time.
I could be completely wrong, or it could be the point, the the guy acting as command I think is dubbed over the video. I notices that when he was giving orders, nobody would acknowledge the orders, and when the Captain asked him what he had at the end, it was a diferent voice coming from the command vehicle?
@NTRT11...He didn't overdub it...It's the same voice. Why would he dub it over? When the engine asked for the cross street, they replied back..."Engine 101 water supply and fire attack group" Reply..."Engine 101 copy, fire attack group" and on and on and on... Not dubbed...Nice theory though. :)
definatly how its done! good work guys and gals. IC had it spot on. professional. and very well done. would be proud to work for and with these people anyday.
So, let me see if I understand you right..You deverted fire fighters from a fire that had nobody trapped to the fire where you kbew there was someone trapped? And I'm assumng you did that to get more firefighters to the scene of the fire that had the entrapment quicker?
@dru2ko ah ok, thanks for the explaination. I didn't know if he just did that because he found out the apartment fire had a explosion hazard and that there was a victim trapped so felt that fire was higher priority (obviously). Of course all fires are high priorities for fire departments but the known trapped victim I would think make it the highest. But now that you explained it, that also makes sense that they'd go to where they know there's a working fire.

Nicely done fellas. I've got a terminology question for you, what's the meaning of "all in" "all out"? We don't use that here in King County, WA.
